Howdy! My name is Matt and I am a Christ-centered coach from Colorado Springs located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. I have a Masters in the Science of Leadership from San Diego Christian College, attained a Character and Competency Growth Model Certificate from the Townsend Institute at Concordia University at Irvine, am a Board-Certified Life Coach through American Association of Christian Counselors, and am an Enneagram Certified Practitioner through iEQ9.

My passion is to help you understand why you feel what you feel, think what you think, and do what you do. My expertise is in a tool called the Enneagram (it’s so cool if you don’t know what that is!) and my training is in self-discovery and self-leadership, growth in character and competency, and fusing the Bible with mental health skills.

I firmly believe that we all have a unique design created by God that was wounded somewhere along the way when we were kids. This prevents us from being aligned with the will of God and His intentional and wonderful craftsmanship – that’s the bad news. But the good news is Jesus! I live by these six words: “I was. But Jesus. And now.” Because of Jesus you can feel safe and secure that He loves you through eternity! And because of that love you can get to work to grow and allow God to realign you in His design – one that you will experience forever!

I am passionate about helping you realign towards your design. My goal is to help you feel loved – that means to feel seen, to be heard, to know you are understood, and to comfort you when you need it the most. This is what Christ did for me, so it is my calling to do for you. I also want to help you grow in those aspects of life that are most important – your relationships, the way you maintain boundaries, the way you manage conflict, the way you accept the good and bad about yourself and others, the way you deal with shame, and the way you explore your strengths and skills.

A little about my other passions: I am a big sports fan – especially the Texas Rangers (World Champs!) I also love the Dallas Cowboys, Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Stars, and Texas A&M Aggies. My passion is baseball – I love the beauty of the game itself, love following the world’s best players in MLB, and get energized watching games at big league stadiums.

I am married to an amazing Colorado native who works as a therapist. I am blessed with a daughter who is passionate about horses, archaeology, and anything pumpkin-related. And I have a son who is training to be a pilot, speaks fluently in movie-quotes, and tells more “dad jokes” than I ever have. We also have two more “kids” – a Corgi and red heeler mix named Rawlings (named after the baseball glove) and a blue-heeler and we-don’t-know-what-mix named Marla Pooch (go watch A League of their Own if you don’t get that reference).
