Helping Teen Boys Build Confidence and Resilience for College and Beyond
Hi, I’m Andrew. Coaching transformed my life as a teen.
It gave me the confidence and resilience to get into my top college and succeed in engineering school. Now, as an ICF-certified coach, I help teen boys facing similar challenges—building self-confidence, staying motivated, and navigating the college application process.
I coach:
Teen boys preparing for college
Young adults navigating their early 20s
Adults and teens relocating to a new city
If your teen needs support with confidence, motivation, or preparing for college, schedule a free 20-minute call.

About Andrew
During my adolescence, I encountered challenges that neither therapy nor mentors could resolve. It was then that I discovered the transformative power of academic life coaching. From the very first session, I was filled with excitement and motivation. This profound experience during my teenage years inspired me to become an academic life coach myself.
I completed high school with the grades I aimed for and went on to excel in mechanical engineering at Gonzaga University. Throughout college and afterwards, I worked with adolescents across the United States for 4 years, mentored by Hayden Lee. Although I ventured into the aerospace industry as an engineer for 4 years, my true calling in coaching drew me back.
Beyond my professional life, I am a passionate mountaineer and an enthusiastic big wall climber. I also craft my own surfboards and teach yoga. Coaching didn't just change my life; it redefined it. I am deeply committed to helping others experience the same transformative journey that I did.
