About me

I co-founded an ed-tech business that grew fast. By year three I was carrying sales and project management on about 40% of the revenue. I got to the point where my body said no, and I burnt out.

After we sold, I was stuck in the earn-out, feeling torn and trapped, with a psychotherapy training behind me that felt a world away from the life I was living. Then there came a point where I saw I couldn’t carry on as I was. I was worried about the money, about letting my co-founders down, and about what people would think. With a mix of excitement and fear, I left anyway, to start the work I do now.

Since then I’ve worked with over 100 clients as a coach. Now in my late 50s, I’m still finding out what’s possible in my own life, and a lot of that happens at home.

I’m a dad of two boys, and home is often loud and unpredictable. For years I felt torn between the drive that built my business and the father I wanted to be. That tension is where a lot of this work started for me.
