MEET THE COACH

I'm a happy and dedicated husband to my best friend of 34 years, father to four adult children, grandfather, and a sinner saved by grace who loves and is loved by Jesus.
About Me

For over 25 years, I dedicated my life's work to pastoral ministry to teens and their parents. At the height of the COVID pandemic, my attention turned to helping teenagers who were impacted by trauma, isolation, addiction, and a lost sense of purpose that the global experience amplified. Recovery is

I love Jesus, doing projects around the house, and helping others find joy and purpose in life. When I'm not working, I use my time writing, reading, cooking, re-learning how to play guitar, and dreaming about chocolate lab puppies.

My Commitment to Personal Growth

After receiving a cancer diagnosis in February of 2024, my coaching practice was refocused to pursue the best choices for my recovery and survival. One year later, through changes in lifestyle and successful treatment, I am carcinoma-free and healthier in body, mind, and spirit than at any time in my life.

The QSC Mission

QuadShot Coaching strives to point clients toward an active, growing relationship with Jesus Christ in every aspect of their lives.

Core Values
1. Scripture-based Authority: Everything I do, believe, and present as a coach comes through a Scriptural hermeneutic. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
2. Truth-Seeking: The coach/client relationship must be transparent, authentic, and honest for the sake of growth and forward movement. (1John 5:20)
3. Authentic Witness: Authenticity will draw people to Christ. (Philippians 3:12-14)
4. Life-Altering: QSC pushes clients to explore their comfort zones to expand outward as they grow deeper in their life purpose. (2 Timothy 1:6-7)
5. Humility: All ministry must be clothed in humility. (1 Peter 5:5-6)
6. All-Encompassing: Living a full life encompasses a whole-person approach; mental, emotional, personal, and physical transformation (Luke 10:27).
7. Sanctuary: QSC provides a safe place for clients to question, brainstorm, and grow. (Psalm 27:1)
8. Intimacy: Our relationship with Jesus is our youth ministry. (Psalm 139)
9. Awe-Inspired Wonder: Ministry must allow us to regularly rediscover the astonishment of the vastness of God and His infinite love for us, compel us to seek answers from His Word, and leave room for His continual work in our lives. (Philippians 3:7-16).
10. Creativity: QSC coaches clients to be free to discover and express their God-given creativity (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Coaching Objectives

The QSC objective is to help clients establish the following five components in their lives:
1. Purpose: Centering God in their lives rather than centering their lives upon themselves.
2. Understanding: Growing more and more like Christ, and less and less like the world.
3. Success: Seeing people through the eyes of God, with the heart of God, and with a desire to share God with others.
4. Fellowship: A time of communal growth for the Body of Christ. It can display itself in different aspects of the Christian walk.
5. Service: Taking what the Lord has taught us (internal) and expressing it into the lives of others (external), both believers and non-believers.

#52: Train Kept A-Rollin'

Ephesians 4:17

12/21/2025 MONDAY'S WORD |EPHESIANS

So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
~Ephesians 4:17

TRAINWRECK

The heart of almost every job I’ve had has involved mastering problem-solving. Mitigating scheduling conflicts, safety issues, resource allocation, and time management requires problem-solving and critical thinking. I frequently use the term ’trainwreck’ to identify a pinch point that threatens to derail efficiency or a successful, desired outcome.

Identifying a trainwreck is one thing. Taking the required actions to avoid a trainwreck requires discipline.

We already know the spiritual trainwrecks that we are personally susceptible to… it doesn’t require much work to name them. The real work is in avoiding them and developing the discipline in life to avoid spiritual pitfalls and disasters.

Takeaway

I suspect that you could easily identify 3-5 temptation ‘biggies’ that are your spiritual trainwrecks. You could probably identify them in less time than it took to read the last sentence!

Spiritual flourishing requires spiritual discipline. Paul says we must no longer live… in futile thinking (literal translation: stop walking around… in vain/folly-thinking).

My translation: You know what the trainwrecks are in your life. Now do whatever it takes to avoid them. It requires discipline in life; loving God, ourselves, and our neighbors with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind (Luke 10:27). You are a New Creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). Be new!
