about

the roots

14+ years in software architecture, technical sales, and IT leadership taught me technical mastery. but burnout in 2021 taught me something deeper—perfectionism isn't a superpower, it's a 20-ton shield preventing flight.

i dove into psychology and neuroscience. completed blue core coaching at ibm. became neuroleadership certified. learned from brené brown that vulnerability creates connection, not weakness.

the trunk

january 2024: tech lead. one month later: managing 28 people across teams. the experience taught me that caring about people means accepting their realities are different from mine.

by year's end, i made the leap. left corporate to become an icf acc coach. a gentle whisper spoke of life's brevity and the courage to embrace the undefined.

the branches

i work with individuals and teams—not to reach new highs, but to help them orient themselves, plant both feet on the ground, slow down, focus on what matters.

i'm an introvert energized by small groups who actually care. those coaching circles where we support each other through life's storms.

the clearing

then aibility happened. we built aimee — an ai coach that walked with people and organizations as they figured out ai for themselves. small team, impossible speed, everything ai promised. it wasn't the logical next step. probably none of my steps were.

the speed was real. so were the lessons. i watched the connective tissue dissolve — not because anyone chose to cut it, but because the work stopped requiring it. the conversations, the check-ins, the human parts. the things that felt like overhead turned out to be everything.

the forest

that experience sharpened a question i can't shake: how do we keep teams human when the work no longer requires them to be?

i work at the intersection of coaching, technology, and the stubborn belief that humans need humans. ai makes working alone easier than ever. it won't genuinely disagree with you. it won't bring a perspective shaped by a life you haven't lived. that's the gap i care about.

i'm looking for fellow travelers — to walk alongside, share a segment of the path, or simply sit with the questions. the road leads over steep mountains. i love mountains. i need challenges.

i may not know all the details. that's the beautiful mystery.
