About joseph
“Hi, I’m Joseph and I’m an engineering supervisor with over a decade of experience applying math, engineering principles, and business problem-solving in real-world environments. I hold an MBA and have spent years mentoring and coaching professionals, helping them clarify goals, tackle challenges, and grow their skills. I know firsthand how guidance and support can make all the difference — throughout my career, mentors helped me navigate complex problems, and now I want to provide that same advantage to my clients. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your business, improve your problem-solving skills, or gain confidence in your abilities, I bring practical, results-focused guidance to help you succeed. Outside of work, I enjoy entrepreneurship, cooking, and sharing my passion for smoked meats. I believe in combining discipline, creativity, and real-world experience to help my clients achieve meaningful results.”
Why do I coach?
I coach because I know how valuable guidance can be when facing complex challenges. Throughout my career as an engineer and MBA, I’ve benefited from mentors who helped me navigate difficult decisions and accelerate my growth. I want to give that same advantage to others — helping clients clarify goals, solve problems efficiently, and build confidence in their skills. Coaching matters to me because I’ve seen how the right support can turn uncertainty into progress, and I want to provide that for others in a practical, results-focused way
