As a former Division I lacrosse player and Big 4 consultant, I’ve lived in performance-driven spaces where identity is tied to achievement. Now, as a coach and master’s student in Organizational Psychology and Leadership Coaching at the University of Pennsylvania, I blend strategic insight with grounded, human-centered work. My style is direct but reflective, less about giving answers, more about helping you clarify what already matters, then building the mindset and habits to live it out. I’ve researched and spoken with over 250 former athletes about their journeys through transition, identity loss, and reinvention - insights that shape how I coach and who I serve.

"Ed's style is refreshingly human. He brings humor and quick wit that can lighten heavy moments and help you see situations from new angles, but he also has this deeply introspective quality that creates space for real reflection and insight. You'll find yourself laughing one minute and having profound realizations the next. His unique ability to seamlessly blend coaching and consulting approaches makes him more special. To reciprocate the metaphor queen nickname, my metaphor for Ed is to think of him as a Swiss Army Knife: he's got all the right tools for whatever situation arises, from the sharp blade of insight to the gentle tweezers of encouragement, and he always knows exactly which one to pull out at the perfect moment. I look forward to seeing Ed keep expanding his coaching tools."
Ed’s coaching style is grounded, compassionate, and illuminating. Our work together shifted me from chasing perfection to practicing presence and aligning my actions with a clearer sense of purpose. I now approach challenges with greater curiosity and less fear of mistakes. If you’re looking for a coach who will help you not only run faster toward your goals but also notice the ground beneath your feet and the joy in the journey, you should work with Ed. His coaching helps you grow stronger, wiser, and more present, in your work and in yourself.
Coach Ed is accepting, non-judgmental and kind. Ed understands and embodies the role of the coach. He listens deeply and without judgement, which allows for authentic expression and exploration. He is kind with the way he reflects back and helps move through a dilemma. Ed’s manner brings a very even-keel energy to the process of thinking through a dilemma. You can expect his full support and attention, compassionate while being deeply thoughtful with his insights, questions and feedback. After sessions with Ed, I would walk away feeling calm, clear and held and supported.
"Ed comes from a high performance background, which could be intimidating. However, it’s anything but. He brings a rare combination of calm presence and curiosity, and working with him allowed me to feel both deeply supported and constructively challenged. Ed’s ability to help me see my patterns, trust my instincts, and challenge my limits made working with him transformative."
Being coached by Ed was a transformative experience for me. From our very first session - physically moving through chairs to envision my ideal life, then mapping it out on a giant sheet of paper - I knew this was going to be exactly what I needed. Ed’s style is creative, grounding, and reflective. He really helped me step back and see my life with fresh eyes, in such a holistic way, so that I could move forward and create my life with intentionality. I found Ed to be both a supportive coach who meets you where you are, while giving the best kind of challenges to not let you stay stuck! I’m grateful to have worked with him in a transitional period of my life.
Ed believed in me in ways I had forgotten to believe in myself. He is one of the best listeners I have ever met. On more than one occasion, he has coached me towards a choice I was blind to see. He genuinely cares for his clients, and his empathy knows no bounds.
