From Passion to Purpose

The Full Story

I’m a Professional Coach and Public Speaker with a deep passion for empowering leaders to unlock their full potential. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of inspiring thousands of current and aspiring leaders—presenting strategies to overcome challenges and achieve meaningful success across diverse organizations.

​

With more than 20 years of leadership experience, I’ve navigated roles from informal team leadership to overseeing more than 40 direct reports across healthcare, manufacturing, and service industries. These experiences have shaped my belief that leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about presence, purpose, and impact.

​

What I Do

​

I specialize in helping individuals:

  • Discover and leverage their unique strengths

  • Break through limiting habits and patterns

  • Develop self-awareness, empathy, and emotional intelligence

​

My coaching fosters:

  • Clearer communication and stronger collaboration

  • Calm, creative problem-solving

  • Greater resilience and reduced anxiety

  • A confident, authentic leadership presence

​

I’ve worked with clients across local government, entrepreneurship, and healthcare leadership, guiding them toward both professional and personal growth.

​

Here's how one client described the impact of our coaching partnership:

“Having Brad as my personal coach gave me the opportunity to deeply reflect on my personal and professional goals. His ability to be an active listener challenged my perspective and allowed me to speak out loud my fears, uncertainties, and to think outside the box.

His encouragement and guidance gave me more clarity and confidence to take action and overcome. His support helped me in making progress towards my goals. I highly recommend him.” — Luz

My Journey

​

As a lifelong learner, I hold:

  • A Master of Science in Healthcare Administration, specializing in Leadership Development and Change Management

  • Bachelor of Science degrees in Psychology and Sociology

  • An Associate of Applied Science in Neurodiagnostic Technology, reflecting my interdisciplinary approach to growth and performance

​

I am currently completing my ACC Certification through the International Coaching Federation and hold youth coaching credentials from the KC Legends Coaching Academy and NFHS Concussion Training.

​

Life Beyond Coaching

​

I live in Kansas City, Missouri, though my roots are in South Dakota. My wife and I have been happily married for 12 years, and we’re proud parents to two amazing sons, aged 16 and 10. As a family, we love traveling, hiking, and coaching youth soccer—a shared passion that’s helped us foster skills, confidence, and character in young athletes for over six years.

​

And when I’m not coaching or speaking? You’ll probably find me tending to my aquariums—sometimes to my wife’s chagrin.
