My why: Joyful families
I’m here because I believe parenting should feel rewarding, not exhausting. I help families navigate challenges so parents can enjoy more calm, connection, and joy at home.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt at home around kids. While the adults were chatting at barbecues, I was the guy on the floor playing tag or building block towers.
After college, I volunteered in schools for two years, and that’s where I discovered my true passion: helping kids thrive.
That passion led me to earn my Master’s in Education and teach 3rd grade on a Native American reservation in Arizona.
I loved teaching, but when I was recruited into the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to work with kids with autism, something clicked.
I went back to school, earned my second Master’s in Behavior, and passed one of the toughest exams of my life to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
I opened my own ABA therapy practice, built a team of 10+, and supported dozens of families.
Around the same time, my own family was growing. We now have four amazing kids. That’s when I realized something powerful: the same behavioral strategies I used in therapy could transform life at home.
When parenting gets hard
Even with experience, parenting is messy. I learned that helping kids manage big emotions transforms their behavior—and no parent should have to navigate it alone.
To be honest, I thought I had parenting figured out with my first child. She was calm, happy, and communicated beautifully. But then came our second daughter. Full of big emotions and an even bigger set of lungs.
Her meltdowns were constant, overwhelming, and honestly, they shook me as both a dad and a professional. My wife and I felt exhausted and defeated. We wondered if we were doing something wrong.
But through trial, error, and a lot of consistency, we discovered what she really needed — skills to manage her emotions and navigate frustration without feeling like her world was collapsing. Once we focused on building those skills, the transformation was incredible. She grew into the loving, flexible, sweet kid she was always meant to be.
That experience changed me. It reminded me that even with all the training in the world, parenting is still messy, emotional, and hard… and no parent should have to figure it out alone.
My mission is simple: to help parents regain the joy of parenting.
Because when you feel calm, confident, and connected, your child feels it too. And that ripple effect transforms not just your home, but your whole family’s future.
Real parenting, not perfection
I’m not perfect, and my kids aren’t perfect either. The strategies I share aren’t about creating a picture-perfect family—they’re about increasing the chances of things working out when challenges come. They work most of the time, but parenting is still messy, hard, and unpredictable.
I don’t want you to think the advice here comes from someone who has it all sorted—it comes from real life, with real struggles, and a lot of learning along the way.
