About Me
Hi!
My dad wasn’t around much when I was a teenager, but I thought that was normal. He’d come home angry from work, go to his home office, and that was it. I started to get angry. I wanted a dad who was there for me, but I wasn’t the one who could make that happen. When I was 15, he had a nervous breakdown from stress at work, but it made little difference to me if he was at work, in his office, or detained for his own safety in a mental institution. Absent was absent. I realized I was on this path to manhood on my own.
When I was in my 30s, I was in a toxic relationship, and I realized that something needed to change, but I just didn’t have the strength or know-how to do so. I started on what was to be a long journey of self-discovery, with the help of many courses, support groups, counseling, and qualifications. Eventually, I had the strength to leave that toxic relationship.
My life changed from that moment on. I met and married a wonderful woman who already had two boys, aged 4 and 9. I adopted them after their biological father drank himself to death a few years later. This was hard for them, but I was able to be there and support them.
Being a son or daughter is hard, no matter what kind of parents one has. We are all shaped by our past and current circumstances. We are not trapped by them. I’ve spent the last 15 years developing the skills, knowledge, and experience to help men become better fathers. I’m ready to help you do the same, but quicker. Much quicker. Are you ready?

Testimonials
Working with Steve has been a game-changer for me as a father. His advice, support, and insight have helped me approach all aspects of my life with intention. Steve’s ability to understand and address my unique needs has helped me value myself and my happiness more than I have in years. I appreciate Steve’s perspective, humor, and tough love when needed. I highly recommend Steve to any father looking to become the best version of themselves.
I’ve been coached by Steve in group settings over the last year, and I’ve seen how he coaches others. Steve has a very clear, concise, and compassionate approach. In my experience, he seemed to be able to listen past my words to a deeper place beneath them. The insights he’s shared have revealed aspects of myself that I was unaware of, which I found helpful. His ability to offer guidance has helped me to identify old behavior and thought patterns that have kept me stuck. I find his spirit and encouragement inspirational and reassuring.
After working with Steve, I was able to build a future vision for myself and define my priorities to grow professionally and personally. With Steve’s supportive coaching style, I was able to gain the confidence and made a significant move that was long overdue. I’m not sure I would have made the transition without his encouragement, support, and know-how. He’s great at understanding the whole person and is able to span the personal & professional spectrums seamlessly. I would highly recommend Steve for anyone looking to make meaningful changes in their life!
I’ve been part of many circles where Steve’s facilitation helped a man get unstuck and find a new way forward. Steve is insightful and a deep listener, and he’s adept at gently yet directly guiding men to unearth their deeper wisdom. His questions are perceptive and penetrating. Most of all, he’s committed to personal growth and healing and helping others build lives of joy and authenticity. He’s a powerful magician, and his facilitation is a gift to those around him.
