ABOUT ERIC
My Path to Coaching
My professional journey includes roles in strategy consulting at firms like McKinsey & Company and LEK Consulting, and in finance and marketing at brands such as Taco Bell Corp. and Intuit.
However, my deepest passion has always been understanding people — what drives them and shapes the choices they make.
That curiosity led me to start a qualitative market research practice. For more than two decades, I served as a kind of cultural anthropologist — using observation and inquiry to uncover the patterns and beliefs that shape human behavior.
This work became the foundation for my true calling: coaching. It taught me to listen deeply, ask meaningful questions, and get to the heart of what’s truly going on beneath the surface.
Today, I draw from disciplines like somatics, neuroscience, behavioral science, and Eastern philosophical traditions. I’ve also led leadership development and experiential workshops on topics such as cultivating self-awareness, nervous system regulation and embodied presence.
Personal Life
I’m an avid traveler and explorer of culture and ideas. I practice Qigong, an ancient system for integrating mind and body that continues to shape my own journey of presence and growth. I live in my native Southern California, where I’m inspired by its natural beautry, energy, and diversity.

FINDING THE RIGHT COACH
Choosing the right coach is an important step. While a coach’s background and experience matter, what’s equally important is finding someone who truly resonates with you – someone you feel comfortable being open and honest with.
A great coach for one person may not be the right fit for another. Like with any partnership, mutual trust and connection are essential for success.
I encourage you to speak with several coaches. If you’d like to explore whether we’re a good fit, I invite you to schedule a complimentary discovery call.
