Hi! I’m David!

And for most of my life I’ve been told that I feel too much, think too hard, and care too deeply. Well apparently, that’s a gift.

I’m not a therapist. I’m not a guru. I’m not here to fix you.

I’m a coach who’ll cry with you if you need to cry. I’ll sit in the mess with you if you’re willing to be honest. Or I’ll cheer you on from the sidelines when no one else will.

I’ve lived through the bewilderment, the breakdowns, and the burnout—the moments where everything in you knows something has to change, but you’re not entirely sure where to start.

My coaching style is intuitive, emotional, creative, and practical. We’ll use whatever tools make sense for you—from resumes to tarot cards to deep journaling to AI reflections.

If you’re ready to do real work without the pressure to be “perfect,” well then… let’s get started, bitch.

How will this work??

With a variety of coaching types and session options, everything here is flexible, intuitive, and shaped around how you operate. There’s no wrong way to do coaching—as long as it’s working for you.

We will meet for a free, brief introduction type conversation followed up by one of the below session styles that best matches your needs.

A One-Time Deep-Dive

An hour (probably longer) of real talk focused on whatever’s showing up for you—soul work, goal setting, career questions, or just some good old-fashioned shit talkin'.

This is perfect if you’re new, curious, or just need one solid “what the hell is going on with me” conversation.

Ongoing Coaching

2–3 hour-long sessions per month, plus check-ins between via chat, voice memo, or phone—whatever keeps the momentum going.

We’ll break down your thoughts, emotions, patterns, and soul. We’ll use whatever tools you’re drawn to—MBTI, journaling, tarot, AI, whatever. You want change? Let’s get to work.

Soul Sessions

Need a spiritual tune-up? Feel heavy and need insight or clarity?
We’ll pull cards, feel through the energy, and get you back in touch with what your gut's been trying to say.

30–45 minutes of intuitive realignment and cosmic decoding. Bring your questions—or just bring your self.

Career Sessions

Burned out? Changing lanes? Don’t know how to talk about your experience without spiraling into imposter syndrome? We’ll fix your resume, run mock interviews, rewrite your cover letter, or dig into what’s keeping you stuck.

Professional doesn’t have to mean boring. You can still be you and get the job.

Tools & Modalities

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all coaching. Every person is different, and so is every session. These are the tools I pull from to help you process, reflect, create, and move forward—depending on what you need in the moment.

Sometimes that means building a resume. Sometimes that means pulling some cards. Sometimes it means sitting quietly just so you don’t feel so alone. All of it is valid, and all of it is coaching.

You don’t have to choose ahead of time—we can figure it out together.

  • Let’s figure out how your brain is wired—what energizes you, what drains you, how you process life, and how to stop fighting against your own natural rhythm. This isn’t about labels—it’s about clarity.

  • We’ll uncover your top strengths and learn how to actually use them in your work, relationships, and everyday choices. It's not about being good at everything—it’s about being freakin' excellent at what makes you you.

  • Whether we’re crafting a resume, journaling through a block, or unpacking a tarot pull, we can use AI (like ChatGPT or GROK) to help clarify thoughts, rewrite your story, or explore new ideas. No tech skills required—I’ll guide you through it.

  • Pulling cards isn’t about predicting your future—it’s about making sense of the present. These sessions are about reflection, insight, and listening to what your soul’s been trying to tell you in symbols and whispers.

  • Some things just need to be written down to be understood. Whether it’s structured prompts, wild free-writes, or emotionally-guided reflections, I’ll help you use writing as a tool for self-discovery, not pressure.

  • I’ll help you talk about yourself like the powerhouse you are, even if you don’t feel like one yet. We can rework your resume, practice interview answers, and find the career path that actually fits the way you think and feel.

  • This is where we drop the filters. If you're carrying stuff you haven’t had space to say out loud—or cry about—this is that space. You don’t have to explain or apologize. I’ll hold it with you and we can fall a part together.

  • Whether you're building a haunt character, doing immersive theater, or just trying to get into the bones of a role, I can help you unlock that next layer of embodiment, presence, and pure performance truth.

  • Sometimes life is a goddamn mess—and you don’t need advice, you just need a witness. I’ll sit in the muck with you, no judgment, no fixing, just full presence. We don’t rise by avoiding the shit—we rise by honoring it.

Why Do I Coach?

At the heart of everything I do is a deep love for people, patterns, and possibilities.

I’ve always been a bit of a walking contradiction: a highly emotional thinker, a kinesthetic learner, a chaotic empath with structure in my soul. I’m someone who wants to help you heal your heart and fix your resume—because I believe we need both the inner and outer work to build a life that feels like ours.

I’m an INFP-T (Turbulent Mediator), an Aries Sun, Taurus Moon, & Sagittarius Rising. My top five CliftonStrengths include: Adaptability, Developer, Individualization, Empathy, and Futuristic, and my Life Path Number is 3.

And if you know any of those metrics (which is totally fine if you don't!), you’ll know that all that mumbo jumbo really just means that I’m the kind of person who feels deeply, listens hard, and sees the potential in people—sometimes before they can see it in themselves. I’m an emotional strategist with a soft heart, a visionary mind, and a tendency to root for the underdog. I'm here to help you figure your shit out without losing your soul in the process.

So far, I’ve lived a lot of lives in this one lifetime.

As a kid growing up in Special Education, I got to witness the many shapes and sizes of the human brain. I learned early that people operate differently—and that’s not something to fix, but something to work with. I tried just about everything: lacrosse, boys’ volleyball, student athletic training, and tech clubs—where I was even elected State President of Illinois TSA in high school. I started working in haunted houses and engineering internships as an early teenager and I spent many nights building in Minecraft and strategizing in World of Tanks. I saw team dynamics in classrooms, games, haunted houses, and job sites—all before I turned 18.

In college, I studied Design Engineering Technology and continued learning how differently people process and succeed. I was an Orientation Leader and Resident Assistant, joined Kappa Sigma, and served in multiple leadership roles—including Social Chair, Risk Management Chair, and IFC Recruitment Chair for my university. My internships ranged from Quality Engineering to HR and Internship Program Project Management.

Outside of engineering, I’ve never stopped haunting. I’ve worked in some of the biggest haunted attractions in the country—everywhere from zombie pop-outs to immersive character acting to management. My original character, Dirt Baby, has become a full-fledged performance brand. I’ve traveled cross-country with totes full of junk just to bring him to life. I’ve helped train actors, worked in gift shops, give backstage tours, act in parades, and attended off-season seminars and trade shows, as well as organize and host internal Classes and Social Activities. It’s more than a hobby—it’s where I found my voice.

After college, I worked across multiple industries, mostly in medical device manufacturing and fixturing design. I’ve used everything from SolidWorks and Revit to Tekla and NX. I’ve supported engineering workflows across both additive and subtractive manufacturing, helped at job fairs, mentored interns, and helped organize on-site blood drives through the American Red Cross. I’m also a proud and active platelet donor.

And through it all… I’ve had to rebuild myself more than once.

In college, I gained a significant amount of weight and eventually developed Type II Diabetes. In 2020, on my birthday, I lost my dad to colorectal cancer—just a year after he rang the bell to celebrate his first clean bill of health. In 2021, I was fired from a job that had completely broken me mentally and emotionally. I had to move back in with my mom, hours from the community I’d built.

I needed to live for me. Not for anyone else’s expectations. Not for who I thought I was supposed to be. But for who I already was.

We’re all living and writing our own stories. The only question is:

Are you the main character in yours? Or do you continue to remain a side character in someone else’s?

Now, I’m finally on a path that feels like mine. I’m on the right meds. I’ve lost over 200 pounds and am no longer insulin-dependent. I’ve got friends who keep me honest, who challenge me, and who make me laugh. I’ve reconnected with my spirituality in a way that actually makes sense to me.
But most importantly:

Because of the lives I’ve lived and the things I’ve survived, I want to help others do the same. I want to help you meet the version of yourself you’ve always known was inside—the one you’ve maybe kept hidden, or muted, or doubted.

I’ve come home to myself.

I hit my lowest point in late 2022. I spiraled, hard. It was dark, and terrifying, and honestly, I still don’t know how I drove to work during those four days of rock bottom. But it shook me. It freed the weight my soul had been carrying for years.

It wasn’t until I saw my past, present, and future reflected back at me—through the people I was surrounding myself with—that I realized the life I was creating. I came to terms with the truth:

And if you’re ready to meet them…..

I’m ready to walk the path with you.
