I’m a husband. A father. A mountain biker and avid outdoorsman. A human behavior nerd. I love studying people.

When I was searching for meaning in my 20’s, I tried a lot of things. I worked in a corporate setting as a leadership consultant and eventually bailed on that to hitch-hike through Alaska and Central America for months. I soloed Half Dome with no ropes, abused drugs and alcohol, lived out of my car, coached kids’ ski racing, worked as a wilderness guide with troubled teens, and failed miserably at relationships.

23 years ago, I got very serious about my personal growth and cleaned up my relationship life. I went to graduate school, got a master’s degree in psychology, worked as a mental health crisis worker, family therapist, did countless trainings and began the first real, adult romantic relationship with my now wife.

Through all of this, I had an entrepreneurial spirit which allowed me to start several businesses. I got tired of complaining there was no class in high school or college on relationships, so I founded an online school called "The Relationship School." Our courses and trainings have served over 100,000 people across the world. I have trained hundreds of coaches in many countries in my methodology.

But my greatest masterpiece is co-created: a grounded and fulfilling marriage of 19 years while raising 2 incredible kids in the mountains of Colorado.

I study how humans relate. What connects us and what divides us. I show people how to resolve conflict with anyone.
