Mission

A Considered Life exists to help men align their behaviors with their beliefs in every area of their lives: mind, body, soul, work, and relationships.

Consideration precedes manifestation. In other words, your process determines your progress. Consideration is about self-examination for the sake of others. People depend upon us—our wives and children, our co-workers and employees, our friends and neighbors, our churches and communities. A Considered Life is here to help you become the man you were created to be so that you can serve others well.

Distinctives

1. Philosophy as a Practical Tool. Most coaches borrow loosely from psychology or productivity science. A Considered Life goes deeper. My academic expertise in philosophy and ethics helps clients think clearly about what they want, why they want it, and whether it's worth wanting. I aim to help you examine your life — and then build one worth living.

2. Holistic Framework. I don't treat performance, health, and meaning as separate conversations. They're the same conversation. My coaching integrates all three dimensions because your burnout, your health and fitness setbacks, and your spiritual restlessness are usually the same problem wearing different clothes.

3. Deep Wells of Experience. I bring over two decades of academic and pastoral experience to the table as resources to help you on your journey. My coaching is not therapy or professional counseling. Instead, it’s a conversation that seeks to empower you to achieve the growth you already want.

4. Substantial but Accessible. My coaching provides scholarly depth without the jargon. My clients are smart. So, I don't dumb things down. But I also meet people in the real texture of their lives, not in the abstract.
