About Will
I have always loved to learn. This was the chief reason I became a teacher and took a job reading college applications. I look for opportunities to find the splendid parts in people's stories. This is what makes me a great coach. In addition to being a great listener, I am an organized problem-solver who will help you meet your goals. When I'm not coaching, I enjoy spending time outside hiking with friends and family.
Why do I coach?
I have had many coaches and mentors in my life and all of them together have helped me build the best life possible. I will help you do the same by intently listening and asking questions to explore your desires. Together we will partner to discover what you want and achieve your goals.
