Career Experience – In 2015, Christopher created a company that contracts with homeowners to project the financial profitability of, redesigning, marketing, and expertly managing vacation rental properties in Colorado. Working as an independent consultant and manager, and hiring teams of home remodeling, maintenance, and cleaning contractors, gave him tremendous insight into the direct link between how company leaders think and their level of success in business.
He worked in the nonprofit management and fundraising realm for 20 years and operated his own management company for 5 years. Then, in 2019, Christopher became a mindset coach for contractors.
His Struggles – When Christopher left the nonprofit fundraising world and stopped identifying with work and achievement, he struggled to reinvent himself. If he had been able to trust himself and let go, the transition could have been short and easy. But instead, it dragged on over the course of five years. It consumed his confidence, almost destroyed his marriage, and put him on the brink of financial ruin.
However, the protracted crash was an enormous gift that remains a source of inspiration and wisdom for Christopher to this day. He is more present, accepting, compassionate, successful, and impactful now than he could ever have been without it.
What Qualifies Christopher to be a Coach? – Christopher’s coaching is influenced by years of training and practice in somatic psychology, theta healing, meditation, and yoga. He is a huge believer in human potential and the power of using everyday experiences as tools for personal transformation.
He is walking the same life and business walk that his contractor clients are. He also has the knowledge, experience, and perspective that helps them access the incredible potential lying underneath their ordinary awareness, unexamined assumptions, and head trash.
Christopher says that most contractors he meets have very little idea of the depth of their own gifts and the power they have through their work to affect change in other people’s lives. At the root, a home improvement contractor is a creator of worlds and an uplifter of the human experience.
The more a contractor knows this at the core of their being, the more likely they are to lead a fulfilling, joyful life, and the more likely it is that their company will be a profitable source for good.
Personal Life – Christopher is a nature-loving Coloradan who was raised in a family with four biological brothers and a litany of American, Vietnamese, Hmong, and Hispanic foster siblings. He is a devoted husband and a proud father of one daughter.
