I'm a life and career coach who supports others who dedicate their careers to making the world a better place. Before becoming a coach, I worked for over 20 years in the nonprofit and international development world: 1) teaching middle school on a remote island in the Central Pacific, 2) developing and leading public health programs in Kenya and Angola, 3) raising funds to advance public health, social and environmental justice.
I am an avid runner, cook, and proud dad of two young daughters. When I'm not coaching, I'm with my amazing family!
business development for nonprofits, coaching and mentoring, running / training for distance races
making connections with cool people in the Northern Delaware / greater Philly area
your job will never love you back
My mom, Linda Merkel. She dedicated her professional life to teaching, and she dedicated her personal life to making everyone around her feel special.
Intentionally listening to understand. I love meeting people, and hearing their stories.
I'm doing it! :-)

A brief meditation. How to pay attention to our breath as a first step to paying more attention to ourselves and the world around us.
