meet Andrew - Teen life Coach

During my own teenage years, I faced challenges that traditional therapy and mentoring couldn’t fully address. It wasn’t until I discovered teen life coaching that things began to shift. From the very first session, I felt a renewed sense of excitement, clarity, and motivation. That experience was so transformative, it led me to pursue my path as a teen life coach.

I finished high school with the grades and confidence I once thought were out of reach, then went on to study mechanical engineering at Gonzaga University. While in college—and for several years after—I worked with teens across the U.S., mentored by one of the world’s top academic life coaches, Hayden Lee.

Though I spent four years working in aerospace as an engineer, I ultimately felt called back to coaching. Today, I specialize in helping teen boys and young men who are feeling lost, unmotivated, or unsure of their future.

Outside of coaching, I’m a passionate mountaineer, big wall climber, and yoga teacher. I even build my own surfboards. Life coaching didn’t just change my life—it gave me the tools to build a life I’m proud of. Now, I’m here to help other young men do the same.
