Redefining What It Means to Be a Man Today
We don't all see masculinity through the same lens. What defines your identity as a man may differ significantly from other men's perspectives—and often from what our partners, children, and communities expect of us.
The questions we're grappling with:
Enlightened men have a responsibility to help each other focus on the qualities that truly matter:
What if we redefined:
With 40 years of marriage, two thriving adult sons with families of their own, and a successful executive corporate career behind me, I bring earned wisdom that comes from living these challenges, not just studying them.
I can help you achieve both:
A thriving career and meaningful relationships with those you cherish most.

Brothers In Growth
Each of you have your own stories, your own experiences, and they all contribute to who you are. When you share that with other men, while allowing them to share the same with you, it begins to form a brotherhood.
With guided, free flowing sessions, our men create deep bonds that allow them to open up in ways they may have never experienced before. They walk through life knowing they have a band of brothers in their corner through all the good and all the challenges they have and will encounter.
We intentionally connect in a deep and meaningful manner so that we may continue to be on a quest to CHANGE THE WORLD in all the best ways!
I am the founder, coach and facilitator of this group.
The Arena Men’s Groups are structured and organized spaces for men to be themselves and discover who they want to become and the difference they want to make for themselves, their families, their friends, and the world.
Our purpose is to help men learn how to be in the arena—to dare greatly,
love fiercely, and live fully.
We teach common sense practices that aren’t commonly practiced to help men trust themselves, live true to who they are, be willing to take risks, and step into the arena in their personal and professional lives.
I am proud to be the lead facilitator of the very first expansion group
of the Arena...
The Arena Legacy Group
So you want to work in the death care space (cemeteries, funeral homes, crematories, etc.)? The nature of these types of businesses is that it is very difficult to remain in the field if you don't truly want to play a part in helping your fellow human beings! It is true that almost anyone can have some level of "success" for some period of time, and for the long hall, you will need a multitude of skills and a very specific mindset.
Each silo of the business is a bit different than the other. It is probably obvious to most, that some roles involve working directly with the deceased and others are focused on the family of the deceased. Some roles involve mostly service and others involve products and services. Whichever side you find yourself in or exploring, be prepared to commit yourself to all that it entails.
I spent over 30 years in this space and have a high level understanding of how to "succeed", how to balance service and income, and how to navigate what can at times feel like opposing driving factors. I've worked with family owned locations and publicly owned corporations. I have expertise in sales, operations and administration and achieved a C-Suite role in a very large company. The bottom line is that I know how to help you succeed at whatever level you are aiming for.
I have created specialized training and coaching for those in the business and those desiring to explore what's possible. Imagine working hand in hand with one of the industry's top producers, who found a way to create family focused, employee focused programs so that you never lose site of the mission of the work. Increase your income while at the same time, becoming invaluable to those you serve (the families). You may have the best trainers, managers and leaders and
you may still want or need a more personalized approach. It's quite possible that some of the content that you work with came from me and/or my circle of influence. Changes have occurred over the years and the foundational approach remains relevant!
There is much to learn about why cemeteries remain a vital part of the circle of life. I can help you learn why and how to talk about it and answer questions.
Navigating the funeral home world and how to decide on caskets is frightening for many; including the staff at times. Learn more about both and how to discuss a sensitive topic in an empathetic manner.
Let's face it, cremation is becoming very significant in American culture. Let me help you understand how to explain the process, the benefits and challenges.
My team was large. Some had a lot of experience and some had none at all. I led this team to top results, drastically reduced attrition, created most of the training programs, and supported the leaders on my team by providing pathways for leadership development, mentoring, coaching and goal attainment.
