About Jake
I'm a Business Leadership and Improvement Expert with an ICF Certification in Professional Coaching. My background combines practical experience with deep knowledge in leadership, agility, and organizational change.

My Philosophy
I believe in moving beyond theoretical frameworks to solve real-world challenges. My approach is direct and no-nonsense, focusing on what actually works rather than just following trends.

Expertise Areas

Professional Background
With years of experience helping organizations overcome challenges, I've worked with teams across various industries to improve their processes, develop stronger leadership capabilities, and deliver better products.

Outside of Work
When I'm not helping organizations improve, you might find me hiking Colorado's mountain trails, camping under the stars, roller skating at local parks, or enjoying live music at concerts. I believe these activities help maintain perspective and bring fresh energy to my professional work.
