About Jeff

A few years ago, I was completely lost in my career. I had just left advertising, unsure of what was next. I was stuck—burnt out, questioning everything, and staring down the terrifying blank page of reinvention. Then the pandemic hit. I decided, in the middle of that chaos, to start a company. At the same time, my life was unraveling. Personally. Professionally. Mentally. It felt like everything that made me me was falling apart. But somehow, through that mess, something unexpected happened—I found clarity. And I used it to build something that helped thousands of other people find theirs too. That something was Clicked, a company built to help people explore new career paths and gain real, hands-on experience in high-growth tech roles. We supported over 60,000 learners. 99% walked away more confident, and those who landed jobs saw an average salary increase of 77%. Now, I’m focused on helping even more people get unstuck. Whether you’re feeling overlooked, uncertain, or just done with a career that doesn’t light you up, I’ve been there. I work with professionals of all kinds—but I’m especially passionate about career switchers. People making a leap. People chasing a second (or third) act. I’ll help you cut through the noise, position yourself with confidence, and build a career that actually fits your life. No corporate jargon. No vague advice. Just real talk, real strategy, and maybe a little sarcasm to keep it fun. Let’s figure this out—together.

Why do I coach?

I coach because I never had a real mentor in my own career, and that absence shaped everything. Early on, I felt completely on my own. No one to guide me. No one to help me make sense of the chaos. That void became my fuel. It’s why I care so deeply about helping others navigate their own career messiness. Careers are messy. Mine fell apart before it came together. I left a steady job, launched a company during COVID, and watched my personal and professional life implode at the same time. But through that collapse, I built something meaningful—Clicked—a platform that’s helped tens of thousands of people find their path. So yeah, it took a lot of blood, sweat, and (a very unhealthy number of) tears to get here. But now, I coach to be the support I wish I had. To help others get unstuck, move forward, and find clarity in a world that rarely makes it easy.
