Marriage is my passion!  Helping people who lead others to thrive in the most precious of relationships is what I love to do. My passion for healthy marriages and families began in childhood where I saw mostly divorce and fatherlessness.  I resolved that I would be a faithful husband and dedicated father someday.  Little did I know how ill-equipped I was for my dream.  Workaholism, a lack of emotional intelligence, and intoxication with the instant feedback of winning at work got in the way.  I woke up after a series of spats with my bride and realized I wasn't who I had dreamed of becoming. 

 

It was year 9.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  I was falling apart, chasing success with very successful people.  As an NFL chaplain I was teaching marriage lessons that I was struggling to apply in my own home.  Those struggles forced me to face my own brokenness and my need for the trusted guidance of coaches, my therapist, and my mentors.  I don't know where I'd be without the wisdom of those wise leaders who came alongside me to coach me to become a more self-aware, emotionally whole, and empathic husband, father, and leader.

 

What I've learned, I love to share.  Yes, I'm honored to be a two-time NFL Super Bowl champion, an author, and a pastor.  But as a certified coach with a master’s degree in counseling, I'm really grateful to help busy professionals win at home and in their careers.  It's my joy to help those who lead in professional sports, in business and in ministry experience the power of transformed selves, transformed marriages, and transformed families.  After all why should we win in public only to fail in private, with the people who need us most. We are made for so much more!  ​

Over the years, I've had the privilege of being a guest on Family Life Today with Dennis Rainey and Real Life TV with Tom Hollis & Amy Schafer, to be a frequent speaker at Pro Athletes Outreach, Iron Sharpens Iron Men’s Equipping Conferences, NO Regrets Men’s Conferences, and at couples gatherings across the U.S.  My first two books are Cover Her and Cover Him.  (I really hope you'll find them helpful.)  Those experiences have served to remind me that marriage struggles are in every neighborhood and in every workplace, no matter the price of the home or the product sold.

 

If I can serve you through my marriage coaching work, it would be my honor.  I happen to believe anyone can improve their relationship skills when armed with wise support, room to be human, and timeless insights that simply work when applied.  Yes, you can have a great marriage and a great family life and I'd like to help you get there!
