What I Do

  • Leadership Coaching
  • Facilitating, Training, Speaking, and Writing
  • Innovative, Agile Program Management
  • Startup Feasibility and Business Planning
  • Management Consulting

I've had the privilege of coaching program managers and executives, and their teams at Amazon, Boeing, Capgemini, Microsoft, T-Mobile, and others. I help them execute better in their current roles and prepare them to earn their next leadership level. I'm dedicated to improving the communities where I work and live. As a past-Rear Commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club of Seattle and as a new member of the Corinthian Yacht Club of Tacoma's Long-Range Planning Committee, I've been helping navigate both organizations to a more financially sustainable future.

My teams tell me that my leadership shines brightest when the challenges seem insurmountable. My clients say they know I'm in the boat with them. Margaret, a former professional chef and my wife of nearly 30 years, simply calls my ability to muster courage in the face of fear...zest!

With the launch of Captain Coach David, I will continue to leverage my integrated thinking and diverse experiences - both on and off the water - to coach successful professionals to deliver breakthrough results...faster...and enjoy the journey!
