A HEART-FELT NOTE FROM DAN….
As a faith-driven business owner, CEO, or high-capacity executive, you are a visionary leader with skill and passion. Yet, the pressures of leadership can feel overwhelming, especially when balancing the​ growth of your faith and life at home with the demands of scaling a successful business

The isolation of leading at the top, the weight of complex decisions, and the strain on your physical, emotional, and relational well-being can leave you questioning whether it’s possible to thrive in both life and leadership. The spark of purpose—that feeling of ‘I was born for this!’— feels dimmed amidst the grind or perhaps has never fully ignited.

You don’t have to face this alone. As your coach, I’ll guide you with God’s wisdom and proven strategies to help you reclaim clarity, confidence, courage, and purpose. Together, we’ll craft a personalized plan to align your faith, business, and personal life—navigating its complexity, safeguarding what matters most, and building resilience. You’ll move toward a future where you thrive with God’s purposes, energy, freedom, and joy, while achieving the results you’ve always longed for

I have had the privilege of coaching over 500 CEOs, executive team leaders, and pastors through one-on-one executive and leadership development coaching, peer advisory groups, team strategy sessions​ and workshops. My experience spans multiple industries, including:
* Commercial Real Estate and Property Management
* Sales and Marketing
* Financial Advisory, Capital Investment, Lending, and IPO Strategy
* Automotive Sales and Service
* Construction and Trades
* Meat and Poultry
* Biopharma and Technology
* Nonprofit Organizations
* Education Sectors

This work has ranged from supporting solo entrepreneurs and startups with limited capital to coaching large-scale companies like Pilgrim’s Global, which had an annual revenue of $8 billion during the coaching engagement.

By clarifying our cultural identity, we were able to align our operations and growth strategies with these guiding principles.
