Twenty-five years of helping people grow.
For 25 years, I taught American History and Government at Saline High School. What I loved most was connecting with students—challenging them to open their minds, become more independent, and see the world in new ways.
After 25 years in public education, I was ready for a new challenge. I found in coaching much of what I had always loved about teaching: connecting with people, challenging them to see things differently, and helping them grow.
Today, as a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) and Associate Certified Coach (ACC), I help clients gain clarity, explore possibilities, and take meaningful steps toward the lives they want to create.

What Clients Are Saying
“Jason asks deep, thought-provoking questions that get to the heart of the matter. He builds trust along the journey of self-improvement and has an intuition and insight that allow him to break through the noise and really make an impact.
I was fortunate to find Jason while transitioning my career and uprooting my life after retiring from education. He helped me navigate a new endeavor, including opening a business of my own. If you are ready to grow, be challenged, and evolve, Jason is the perfect passenger to go along on your ride.”

Former coaching client
“I was in the middle of changing career paths and had recently been in a car accident — needless to say, I was in a challenging period of my life. The guidance and encouragement Jason offered me was instrumental to my success as I began this new chapter.
Jason empowered me not only to improve my situation, but to change my outlook and attitude toward achieving my goals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who won’t let them settle for anything less than their personal best.”
