Professionally

The work that has always energized Troy most is sitting with someone in an honest conversation, helping them think clearly, see what they couldn't see alone, and take a meaningful next step.

Pastoral Counseling, Life Coaching, and Executive Coaching are where nearly 30 years of that instinct have led.

From six years of cross-cultural ministry in Thailand to planting and pastoring a church in San Francisco, leading nonprofit teams, and working as a licensed Realtor®, Troy has spent his career walking alongside people through meaningful decisions, personal challenges, and seasons of growth. His experience across ministry, nonprofit leadership, and the marketplace informs his thoughtful, practical approach to helping people move forward.

A Little More Personally

Troy lives in San Francisco with his wife, Caroline. Together, they've raised three grown kids and are adjusting to the surprisingly quiet life of an empty nest.

He loves the beach, early-morning runs, time with family and friends, and whatever adventure might be around the corner. After six years in Thailand, he can still hold a conversation in Thai. Just don't ask him to discuss taxes or car repairs.
