about me
Co-Active & Narrative Guide
My Journey as Co-Active Coach
My journey as a Co-Active Coach & Narrative Guide began with a treasure box when I was 13 years old. After my father passed, he left me no wealth—only a collection of Shakespeare’s stories. As a boy guarding our maize farm from monkeys, those stories were my solace. They taught me that while we cannot always control the plot of our lives, we can always choose how we tell the story.
I have used the power of narrative to survive eight days in police custody, to land a TV producer role I wasn’t ‘qualified’ for, and to found Lifesong Kenya, empowering young male offenders to see themselves as more than their crimes.
Today, as a Certified Co-Active Coach and Narrative Guide, I bring this same roaring courage to my clients. I believe that boys are not problems to be solved or to be fixed, but stories waiting to be told with honor, dignity and respect.

My Work
I partner with young men and professionals standing at a life crossroads, helping them reframe past challenges into the ‘treasure’ of lived experience.
Using a unique blend of Co-Active coaching and outdoor adventure, we strip away limiting labels to reveal the authentic leader within.
Together, we re-author powerful stories that build the clarity and roaring courage that boys and young men need to lead a life of profound purpose.
