Who is the Coach?


who_is_the_coach.jpgDave has a B.S. in Industrial Management from the University of Richmond and spent 25 years in the aerospace industry with three different companies negotiating large contracts for computer technology and aircraft components. He has led numerous projects, managed departments, and helped organizations be more effective and efficient. Both inside and outside the workplace, Dave has consistently functioned as a mentor and guide for hundreds of individuals over the past 30+ years.


Over the past 10 years, the focus of Dave’s mentoring has been in helping busy, productive, and impacting people to:


  • get a better handle on their schedule, career, roles as a spouse/parent, and their civic/church activity
  • gain some wisdom, guidance, and perspective for the difficult aspects of the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s
  • get some life-tools that would significantly improve their relationships, personal effectiveness, and overall decision-making
  • learn how to become much more impacting as leaders


A major element of his mentoring has been in the areas of career transition, discovering one’s particular purpose in life, and helping them launch into a new era of greater impact for Christ.


Dave’s desire is to use this site as a way of becoming a long-term wisdom resource to individuals who want to make a difference. The most rewarding aspects of being a mentor is seeing people become more effective in all areas of life, then seeing them reproduce their lives in the lives of others. While Dave has been approached about writing a book, giving seminars around the country, and marketing his ideas on a broad scale, his heart is to impact individuals deeply, one at a time, over a long period of time, through different stages of life, and to train coaches/mentors in guiding others to their One Degree.


Dave lives in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma with his wife and two teenage sons.




“… I was taken in about 10 years ago by an older guy who has “coached” me through different stages in my life one cup of coffee at a time. Dave has been patient with me and lovingly given me tools for life that I so desperately needed.”
