About Paul

You've built a good life. But is it the right one?

Most of the people who work with me are no strangers to success. They’ve founded companies, led teams, built wealth, raised families, climbed the ladder. On paper, it looks like they’ve made it. But behind the curtain? Many are quietly wondering:

I help people ask better questions—and then find the courage to change the answers.

This isn't therapy. It's not off-the-shelf life coaching either.

It’s focused, high-stakes work — guided by someone who has lived it.

I spent over 30 years building businesses—I experienced challenges, lessons, and rewards—and
helped others navigate their toughest decisions. I’ve raised kids, rebuilt my own health, and navigated the pivotal moments where everything hangs in the balance—the choice between staying stuck or stepping into something truer.

Change is hard. Feeling stuck, uncertain, or restless despite your success? That’s not failure—it’s often the first sign you’re ready for what’s next.

These days I work with accomplished people who’ve realized that success without fulfillment is just a comfortable trap—and they’re ready to do something about it.

Not everyone is. But those who are? They change everything.

Why I do this work

I’ve had my own moments of reckoning—times when everything looked right on the outside but felt hollow on the inside. Times when I had to ask hard questions about identity, purpose, and what I really wanted from my life, not just my career.

What I realized: Too many smart, capable people spend their best years chasing goals that were
never truly theirs. And once you wake up to that… it’s hard to go back to sleep.

I enjoy helping people trade momentum for meaning—before they burn out, numb out, or give up. The world doesn’t need more people doing what they think they’re “supposed to.” It needs
more people brave enough to live the life they actually want.

How I work

This work only works if it’s honest. Here's what you can expect from me:

We move at the pace of truth, not pressure.

I won’t rescue you. I’ll walk beside you.

No fluff. No formulas. Just focused, real conversations.

Your time is precious. So is mine. We’ll use it well.

I care more about your values than your resume.

I've built businesses, made mistakes, found success, and learned that the hardest questions aren't about strategy—they're about meaning.

If you’re looking for letters, here they are.
If you’re looking for results, let’s talk.

35+ years as an executive and entrepreneur.
Sold a financial services firm in 2024.
Too many designations and training to list here.
I'm a husband, father and son. I'm a workout nut who loves to cook and travel.
Dad, pickelballer, health nut, disciplined optimist.

The work we do together is personal... and it works.

Some come to clarify what’s next. Others come to reclaim who they are.

Across every engagement, the goal is the same:
Build a life that performs and feels meaningful.

This isn’t a rigid program. It’s a relationship.
The work is grounded, strategic, and deeply human.
It blends clarity, rhythm, wellness, and identity—so you can make better decisions, show up with more energy, and live in alignment with what actually matters.

Whether you’re in the middle of an exit, climbing fast, or trying to remember what “enough” feels like—this work meets you there.

You’re not alone, and you’re not too late.

Retirement didn’t feel like freedom. Now it does.

As a founder, I thought I was too young for this work. I wasn’t. It was a game changer.

From CEO to investor, I needed clarity—not another to-do list. Paul helped me find it.

Don’t wait until success starts to feel like a cage.
