Over the past 30 years, I’ve worked shoulder-to-shoulder with senior leaders and exceptional professionals across startups, family-owned businesses, and Fortune 500 enterprises in shaping vision, co-designing operating systems (decision rhythms, SOPs, accountability practices), and guiding both personal and organizational transformation with insight and care. Currently, as VP of Client Success at Fueled, I’m applying these principles daily, transforming delivery operations into commercially confident teams while building the systems and accountability that turn strategy into measurable results.
I’ve found that the most powerful change happens where structure meets presence. My approach blends systems thinking with Co‑Active foundations, honoring your creativity and inner resourcefulness while co-creating frameworks that free your energy for meaningful work. I show up with deep listening, powerful inquiry, and adaptability to help you build clarity, activate potential, and bring intention into action.
Your Path, Your Way
Like a well-designed system, our engagement can be tailored to fit your unique journey:
- Coaching: You lead, I listen. Using Co‑Active stances like being fully present and dancing in the moment, we co-create insight and momentum. Ideal if you’re seeking clarity, new leadership presence, or aligned personal growth .
- Mentoring: Draw on 30 years of leadership experience. I share hard-earned wisdom, frameworks, and real-world perspective from strategy to resilience to support your long-term development.
- Consulting: Need hands-on support to implement systems, refine processes, or lead change initiatives? I partner deeply to ensure your vision becomes living, breathing reality.
A Unified Partnership
Most clients move fluidly across these modes, coaching to surface what matters, mentoring to gain context, consulting to build and implement systems. At every step, our work is rooted in partnership: listening deeply, honoring your whole self, and weaving structure and spirit into sustainable transformation.
Grounded in the Emerging Trails ethos, scaling capability through intentional structures and human-centered support, I’m here to guide leaders who want clarity, purpose, and real-world results.
Outside of Work

- Woodworker building with my hands to balance the work I do with ideas.
- Sports fan for life, following both my hometown football team and a few “adopted” squads picked up along the way.
- Movie enthusiast and music lover, whether for focus fuel or pure escape.
- Tinkerer at heart, often experimenting with software projects just to see what’s possible.

If you’d like to learn more about working with me, you can reach out directly here. I work with people who want to think differently about leadership, systems, and how to bring clarity to complexity.
Rob’s guidance helped me think “outside the box” and consider new paths and perspectives. I’m still a work in progress but it’s so helpful to have objective and intelligent feedback to narrow my focus and define my goals.
I found Rob’s ability to offer fresh perspectives on my challenges to be especially beneficial, often helping me see opportunities and solutions I hadn’t considered. I also appreciated his thorough session recaps, which allowed me to revisit our discussions at my own pace and reflect more deeply on the insights shared. Overall, the process has been both thought-provoking and practical. For anyone considering working with Rob, I would emphasize his thoroughness, clarity, and ability to challenge your thinking and ways that lead to meaningful progress.
