Prez & Founder of DudeChat with a Master Certification in Social Therapeutic Coaching and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Cincinnati in Communications.

 

I have been on the marriage journey with my wife Caroline since 2011 and we’ve been parents (a party of 3) since 2013. I cherish spending time with my family, planning trips and exploring the world together. I enjoy being outdoors and connecting with nature. I’m an avid reader, student and budgeter. I work full time in sales and I’m a part time gym rat.

​

DudeChat is special to me because it's a unique space where men come together with the intention of engaging in conversations they have had difficulty expressing in other social situations. I show up for me, for other men in need, and for the people I love. Consistency compounds overtime and I believe there is always room to learn and to grow.

Husband for 18 years, and a proud father of 3. I have love for music, art, and theatre, so during the live music touring season, I’ll always be down to see a show. I have a major interest in many styles of cooking, learning new techniques and styles of cuisine.

I’ve held many positions in my working career. From Architectural Drafting to pizza delivery, from distribution coordinator, bartender manager to advisor, sales and conveyance.

Being in DudeChat has challenged but ultimately helped me to overcome the stigma of holding back from reaching out for help and advice, or giving it for that respect. It has been beneficial in my growth as a man, a husband, a father, and a friend.
