MEET CHARLIE

Founder, facilitator, motivational speaker, executive coach—and former professional baseball player.

REIMAGINE WHAT IT

MEANS TO WIN

I thought I was winning until an injury crushed my major league dreams with the Colorado Rockies. It ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me. I discovered that winning isn't black and white — it's about choosing presence over preference.

HIRE a coach.

Not a marketer.

A lot of top performers hit a peak and wonder, “Now what?” They start to feel bored. Stagnant. Complacent. Unfulfilled and overwhelmed.

That’s where Charlie comes in. Unlike other “coaches,” he’s not about quick fixes or empty promises.

As a former pro athlete, Charlie knows the grind of constant reinvention. He can help you apply that mindset to your career, team, and life.

NO FLUFF.

NO TRENDS.

Charlie offers practical, hands-on coaching for executives and teams who demand more than buzzwords.

He’s spent decades doing the work — coaching leaders with tools that aren’t just inspiring but actionable.

Charlie has partnered with teams and individuals alike. From sports organizations to Fortune 100 and 500 companies. He doesn’t just help you redefine what winning means to you — he helps you get there.
