Forge: Identity-Driven Coaching for Men in High-Demand Lives

Most men carry weight they never speak of — pressure to perform, provide, lead. Underneath the roles is a man shaped by expectation, shame, comparison, past wounds… a man trying to carry that weight and lead from a borrowed identity.

Forge isn’t about becoming “a better man.” It’s about recovering the true man God designed — the one whose identity was spoken over him before the world ever shaped him.

If you’re tired of leading from pressure and performance, and you want to lead from truth, calling and Kingdom authority — then Forge is for you.

If I could get 60 seconds of your time:

Over the past year I’ve been building something I truly believe in within 21 Gatekeeper…Deep Transformative Coaching.

Coaching that helps individuals live from the identity and purpose that was strategically and intentionally designed for them. And then strategically applying that to every aspect of their life. When identity is clear, everything changes, from how you lead in your career, how you show up at home, to how you make decisions under pressure.

I coach men, women, and teens.
Individually and through organizational partnerships.

My niche is focused: Identity-driven coaching for high-impact and emerging leaders.
Different settings, same focus: Helping people live and lead from the identity that is uniquely theirs by design, authentic at the core, and transformative in every environment they touch.

Most people have never experienced real coaching. For one thing, this experience is not me giving you advice, telling you what to do. This is legitimately an intentional conversation, where you move from where you’re at to where you want to be. And if I have done anything right, you felt empowered, challenged—sometimes even the fight or flight kicking in, and ready for the next step in your life.

If you’re curious or you need clarity, direction, or a reset, I’m open to a complimentary 90-minute coaching conversation.

There is no pressure. If continuing makes sense, great. If not, you will still walk away with clarity you can use right away.

You have nothing to lose.

If this resonates, message me and I’ll block off some time for you.

RISE: Identity-Driven Coaching for Emerging Leaders.

For Teens Who Feel Pulled Apart and the Parents Watching It Happen

Teens today are getting hit from every angle.
Pressure to fit in. Pressure to perform. Pressure to be someone they are not.
Most are not acting out. They are overwhelmed and losing their sense of who they really are.

Parents see the shift.
Your teen used to feel grounded. Now they are distant, irritable, or acting like a stranger.
You are trying to help, but every conversation feels like walking on eggshells.

Here is the truth.
When a teen does not know their identity, they will grab anything that helps them feel accepted, even if it is fake, unhealthy, or destructive.

Identity coaching changes that.

When a teen discovers who they are, not the version shaped by friends or social media or pressure but the real them, they become steady.

Less drama.
Stronger boundaries.
Better decisions.
More confidence.
Clear direction.
Healthier communication at home.

A teen who knows who they are is harder to sway, harder to deceive, and harder to pull off course.

If you are a teen reading this, you do not have to keep pretending.
If you are a parent, you do not have to watch this unfold from the sidelines.

Message me if you want to talk about identity coaching for your teen.

Their identity is the anchor everything else depends o

Identity for Her: Coaching Partnership

I want to speak to the women who carry a lot—often quietly.

Some of you are wives trying to keep your marriage steady.
Some are moms holding the home together one day at a time.
Some are young women figuring out who God is shaping you to become.
Some are leaders and professionals navigating demanding roles with very little room to slow down.
And some of you don’t fit neatly into any category, but the weight you’re carrying is still real.

You love Jesus.
You show up.
You do the work.
And yet there’s a part of you that wants to breathe again… to feel settled… to hear God clearly without the constant noise pressing in on you.

Maybe life looks fine on the outside, but inside you’re running on tired.
Not broken.
Not failing.
Just tired of being the one who keeps everything moving.

If that sounds like you, I want to offer something simple—something most women rarely get:

A space where you’re not needed.
A space where you’re not responsible for anyone else.
A space where you can be honest about what’s really going on inside.

I’m opening a few complimentary coaching sessions for Christian women who want clarity, peace, and direction—women who want to reconnect with who God says they are and where He’s leading them.

There’s no pressure.
No expectations.
Just a real conversation where you get to slow down, think, and breathe.

If you want that kind of space, message me.
I’d be honored to serve you.

21 Gatekeeper is expanding its Kingdom Development Services to support leaders, teams, and organizations operating in high-impact environments.

The focus is Identity-Driven Development that equips individuals and organizations to move with clarity, strength, and mission alignment across particular partnership paths:

1. Individual Partnerships
High-Level Identity-Driven Coaching for leaders who want greater clarity, stronger conviction, and a deeper understanding of their God-given identity. This partnership strengthens the whole person so they can operate at a higher level in every area of life. It equips Believers to think clearly under pressure, lead with confidence and integrity, make sound mission-aligned decisions, manage responsibility without burnout, navigate complex professional environments with wisdom, and engage their relationships, family, and community from a place of stability and purpose.
This work reinforces the bridge between who they are in Christ and how they show up, make decisions, lead, and influence across the full span of their life including career, home, relationships, and calling.

2. Marketplace Partnerships
Identity-Driven Development for High-Impact Teams.
Transforming leaders. Strengthening culture. Advancing mission.
I partner with organizations that want to build leadership capacity, reinforce cultural integrity, and elevate mission-focused performance. The objective is to cultivate teams that operate from identity, unity, and excellence, creating environments where leaders lead well, teams function cohesively, and culture drives outcomes that are both sustainable and mission-aligned.

3. Ministry-Based Organizational Partnerships
Strategic development for churches and ministry teams committed to raising up spiritually grounded and tactically prepared Gatekeepers. This includes leadership formation, team coaching, and mission-aligned systems that strengthen culture, clarify structure, and equip teams to serve with wisdom, conviction, and operational excellence. These partnerships support ministries that value spiritual maturity, strong leadership, and well-prepared teams capable of carrying out their mission with clarity and purpose.

4. Government & Public Safety Leadership Partnerships
For law enforcement, public safety agencies, private security teams, first responders, education leadership, and government environments where leaders operate under pressure, scrutiny, and the need for clarity under stress.

This work is not transactional. It is intentional.
It is alignment.
Formation.
Partnership.
