Business Growth Coach for Engineers
You’ve worked hard to build a successful business. But working harder isn’t moving it forward. Familiar challenges keep returning, and the path to further growth isn’t clear.
As an engineer, former business owner, and certified coach, I help you understand what’s limiting growth, put numbers behind your options, and turn your priorities into action.
A complimentary 30-minute conversation to explore your goals and whether we’re a good fit.
Why I Coach Engineers
As an engineer, former business owner, and business coach for over a decade, I recognize the habits that keep engineering business owners stuck:
Internal vs. External Problem Solving
Working problems out internally without distraction is a common trait of engineers. Yet when others aren't part of the process, even the most brilliant solutions fail.
Paralysis by Analysis
Engineers think, rethink, and refine. Meanwhile, nothing changes. Planning has become a substitute for execution.
Static is Safe
Analytical thinkers want growth, but keep choosing the familiar. Waiting for certainty keeps engineers committed to the business they have today.
Too Good to Delegate
Entrepreneurial engineers do the work because they’re faster and trust their own standards. Employees never develop the judgment and experience needed to grow the business.
I challenge these cycles of thought by bringing your thinking into the open, questioning your assumptions, and helping you turn decisions into action that fosters growth instead of stagnation.
Step 1
Discovery Session
A relaxed 30-minute conversation to understand your business, your situation, and what you’re trying to solve. You’ll understand how I think and work, and we’ll decide whether the Business Clarity Intensive is the right next step.
Step 2
Business Clarity Intensive
Your business information sets the stage for four coaching sessions exploring your business finances, processes, leadership, and mindset. We identify the challenges limiting growth. Four follow-up sessions focus on your priorities to create a foundation for growth.
Step 3
Ongoing Coaching
You’ve seen the power of business coaching through our work in the Business Clarity Intensive. Ongoing coaching continues to work on your business growth as new challenges arise. Cancel anytime you feel you’re not making the progress you want.
Start with a Simple Conversation
Let’s talk about your business growth goals and the challenges holding you back.
Engineering. Business. Coaching.
I started an engineering and construction business from a home office and grew it to more than 30 employees and nearly $10 million in annual revenue before selling it to a public company.
Along the way, I faced the decisions growth demands: when to hire, how to fund expansion, which opportunities to pursue, and how to lead a larger team.
For over a decade, I’ve coached business owners through their own growth challenges by questioning assumptions, exploring possibilities, and helping them make decisions that move their businesses forward.
Today, as a business growth coach for engineers, I combine that coaching experience with firsthand knowledge of building a company. I help you understand what’s holding back growth and work through the challenges involved in reaching your next stage.

The Worktrap is written as a business fable, following an owner as he works to free himself from the operational and psychological grip of his business.

Group Coaching

If you're the type of person who benefits more from participating in a live group setting, group coaching is the way to go. It is less expensive than one-on-one coaching because many people are sharing the cost of my time. If you're interested, please follow this link to provide your name and details. When the group is ready, I'll reach out to confirm scheduling and payment.

Business Articles
(My Blog)
I love to write. I share a wealth of information in the articles I write for my blog. Some are written after compelling coaching sessions. Others are borne from business lessons I've learned as an owner. Each one is instructive and actionable for business owners. Whether you're struggling with employees, customers, or finances, you'll find help in my blog.
Videos
(My Video Library)
If reading isn't your thing, check out my videos. I record videos from time to time when I think a business concept can be better communicated in video form than in my blog posts. Who knows, you may watch these videos to get some dry engineering/business coaching humor 🙂 The videos on my site are the same ones you can find on my Mechanics & Mindset Business Coaching YouTube channel.
