Get out of the weeds.
And into the lead.
High-performance leadership coaching for ambitious professionals ready to operate at the next level.
Lead with clarity, confidence, and strategic control through the Performance Evolution Framework.
The Playbook That Got You Here Won’t Get You There
You’ve always succeeded by pushing harder, doing more, and holding yourself to a higher standard than everyone else.
That’s how you built your career.
But now the game is changing.
You’re leading larger teams.
Your decisions have bigger consequences.
Your calendar is packed.
Your visibility is constant.
And effort alone isn’t enough anymore.
You’re:
Stuck in execution mode instead of leading strategically
Doing too much yourself because delegation feels risky
Watching strategic priorities slip while you’re busy putting out fires
Running out of energy for the life you really want to live
You know there’s a better way.
It’s time to start leading,
and living,
at the next level.
That’s why I built the Performance Evolution Framework — a six-month, high-performance leadership system for competitive professionals now operating in more senior leadership roles.
This framework is designed to help you:
Lead strategically instead of reactively
Build high-performing teams you can trust
Make confident, high-stakes decisions with more ease
Protect your time and energy
Build influence across the organization
Create a sustainable version of success
It’s not about grinding harder. It’s about competing smarter.
This is how high performers evolve into high-impact leaders.
MDT Leadership:
Built for Leaders Who Know How to Compete
My experience can be characterized by four things: 1. I am is a competitor. 2. I am a coach. 3. I am a builder. 4. I am a strategist.
Competitor. My foundation was forged in elite sport. A national champion and All-American rower at Princeton and U-23 National Team athlete, I went on to coach at the Division I level at Stanford, Ohio State, and Boston University, and coached three crews with the U.S. U-23 National Team. High performance, disciplined preparation, and long-game thinking aren’t concepts I teach from afar—they are standards I have lived.
Coach. My coaching philosophy is rooted in both research and lived experience. Drawing on performance psychology, positive psychology, and principles from high-performance sport, I help leaders clarify values, manage energy, upgrade decision frameworks, and elevate others without micromanaging. My work is candid, structured, and focused on behavior change that drives measurable results.
Builder. After a decade in elite athletics, I founded MDT Leadership to serve high-achieving professionals navigating expanded scope and ambiguity. I created the Performance Evolution Framework — a practical, structured pathway that helps ambitious leaders evolve from reactive doers into confident, strategic decision-makers capable of sustained excellence.
Strategist. I work at the intersection of identity and execution. I believe leadership at the next level requires more than working harder— it requires expanding self-concept, sharpening priorities, and building systems that make excellence sustainable. Through 1:1 advisory, group programs, and corporate workshops and speaking engagements, I helps leaders protect what matters, drive meaningful impact, and win the long game without sacrificing themselves in the process
