ABOUT MATT

I’m Matt, and I’m a father, co-parent, and have been through the divorce process.

​​

I’ve been where you are now.  I know exactly what it is.  I lived the stress, the grief, the fog, and the obstacles that seemed insurmountable at the time.  And I discovered there wasn’t much help available to men. 

​

And so I studied, learned everything I could, and plunged into a world I previously had never really thought about. Or thought happened to 'other guys'.  I've taken my experience and transformed it into practical, useful help for men living the same experience.    

​​​

I have a background in the performing arts.  I built a successful career in a completely different field – always working with people.  Hundreds of unique and talented people with big emotions and complex lives, navigating nearly every circumstance you can imagine.  I eventually moved into leadership roles in people-focused, non-profit institutions.  Here, I learned many different skills: developing large-scale projects, complex negotiations, managing passionate and dedicated staff. The work often implicated large teams and logistics, but was equally focused on the personal, one-on-one - and often with people in a vulnerable cycle of life.

​

If you would have told me I’d be doing the work I do today, I would have found the idea bewildering.  But I couldn’t be happier, more fulfilled or more filled with purpose.

​

Like most people, I’ve had many seasons of life – high and lows.  The lowest point in my life came at one of the highest points – an irony I’ve learned isn’t uncommon.

​

When I needed help the most, I found the most valuable support was from people who had actually been there.  Men who had been through the process, and who offered practical help based on experience.  I made it through, came out the other side very well, and equipped with experience, knowledge and skills that will help you avoid the mistakes I made, and help set you on solid footing.

 

I began co-facilitating groups for men going through separation and divorce.  I learned, through practice, what works and what doesn’t.  I’ve seen many men stuck or sinking for years suddenly thrive.  And others who experience much faster recovery right from the start. 

​

I listen well, and my coaching is practical.  My intention is not to become a long-term touchstone for you, but rather to give you the tools you need to move through this phase of life in the best ways, for yourself.  So that you can recover more quickly, grow and thrive on your own.

  ​

I can’t help you put your marriage back together, but I can help you navigate the choppy waters in the best ways, help you create and achieve solid, realistic goals that will help you.  As a transition point, divorce is the end of one way of life and the beginning of another.  I can help you use this difficult circumstance to become the best man you can be, help set you on a path to becoming the strongest, best version of yourself - and become ‘on purpose’ again.
