I am a manager at Western Governors University Academy, a start-up in education that uses coaching methodology to help students get into college.

I teach courses in wellness coaching and mentor Ph.D. students whose dissertations are related to wellness coaching effectiveness and efficacy. I am a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and serve on the Exercise is Medicine (EIM) Credential Committee, the editorial board of ACSM's Health & Fitness Journal, and authored the Behavior Change Module of the EIM certification exam. I've served as an EIM Emerging Leader and speak frequently on the topic of exercise and wellness coaching in healthcare, a topic near and dear to my heart. I am a contributing author in the American Council on Exercise's The Professional's Guide to Health & Wellness Coaching. I've worked in various capacities in health and wellness fields including federal grants, health departments, health insurance companies, and healthcare systems in addition to education. My certifications include ACSM Certified Exercise Physiologist, Physical Activity in Public Health Specialist, Exercise is Medicine level two credential, and a Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) by the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching. In addition, I am a Certified Health & Wellness Coach through Wellcoaches and am a Qualified Administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory. My research foci include wellness coaching, physical inactivity (sitting) as it relates to vascular health and productivity, submaximal exercise testing for those with chronic disease, exercise in healthcare, and intercultural development of allied health professionals. Lastly, most people are aware of my Facebook page -Health & Wellness Coaching Exam Test Prep Group -where I post free NBC-HWC practice test questions twice a week. I also moderate the Practicing Health & Wellness Coaches Facebook group (2000+) and the American College of Lifestyle Medicine's Health Coach special interest group. I am originally from North Dakota/Minnesota (hence the cow) and have two boys that keep me busy!
