My name is Jamie, and my roll is to support you towards reaching your next milestone. Through coaching you will discover the needed changes, unwanted habits, and limiting beliefs that are preventing you from reaching your goals. My personal approach to coaching is vision and collaboration. Through these lenses, I bring a fresh perspective to career and personal development, and during our time we will create a path towards success that supports the outcomes you deserve, and the results that you would like to achieve. While the road may be bumpy, the good news is you do not have to travel it alone. I’m here to help you clarify your WHAT and WHY, as well as the HOW you will go achieve your goals.  

As a retired submarine veteran, father of four, and husband, I understand the power of teamwork and support. Some of the greatest victories in my life are the success stories of those I have led or served, and that is the mindset I bring to you. Whether Life Coaching, Leadership Coaching, or Veteran Services, my passion is for those I serve. My experiences, combined with a dedication for serving others allows me the ability to partner with clients on many levels, ultimately leading to insights and action plans that are tangible, organized, and deeply fulfilling.

I understand the difficulties that are associated with leadership, life transitions, and feeling as though you were meant for more. in 2022 I received my official coaching training from the University of California Davis, but it was merely the culmination of two decades of work. Since 2000 I have treasured the enjoyment that comes from supporting peers, guiding employees, and serving others. In the Summer of 2020 I retired from military service and received my Master’s Degree from Gonzaga University in Organizational Leadership, building upon 20 years of operational Servant Leadership, and in the spring of 2022 I became a certified mediator through the Mediation Training Institute.

In the Summer of 2022 I started Capstan Coaching with one simple mission, Exceptionalism Through Service. Founded on the elements of Servant Leadership, Capstan Coaching provides guidance and resources to those who seek greater balance in life through growth, ownership, self-accountability, leadership, and support. If you are an organization with leaders needing guidance, a person experiencing a lack of direction, or a veteran either about to transition or already has, please contact me to discuss services available to support you on your journey.
