The Fathers Compass provides coaching for men in unstable marriages, contemplating divorce, navigating separation, or rebuilding after — with clarity, structure, and steady leadership.
Some men arrive here in the middle of divorce. Others come earlier — when the marriage feels unstable, communication is breaking down, and they’re quietly wondering whether things can be repaired or if the ground is already giving way.
Whether you’re trying to stabilize a struggling marriage or rebuild after divorce, the work is the same: clarity first, discipline second, momentum always.
01. Clarity
Cut through the noise. Understand what matters, what doesn’t, and what comes next.
02. Structure
Simple, practical frameworks so decisions aren’t made in panic or reaction.
03. Accountability
Straight talk and steady guidance — without emotion, bias, or theatrics.
04. Strength
Emotional discipline, better communication, and grounded leadership as a man and a father.
Whether you’re trying to stabilize a struggling marriage or rebuild after divorce, the work is the same: clarity first, discipline second, momentum always.

Boundaries, standards, and calm thinking under pressure.

Seeing your situation honestly and defining what matters most.

Identity, habits, and forward momentum beyond divorce.


I spent nearly 30 years in law enforcement, much of it in leadership roles, followed by time as a Dean of Students. My career has been spent guiding people through high-stress moments where decisions matter.
I’ve also lived through divorce. I understand the fog, the anger, and the quiet moments where you question who you are and what comes next.
Men arrive here at different stages. There’s no single starting line.
My approach is simple: we meet you where you are — not where you think you should be — and help you move forward with clarity, accountability, and strength.
Values and Faith
We meet you where you are. Faith is respected, never forced, and never used as a weapon. When it matters to you, it matters here.

Being alone can be healthy and grounding. Loneliness is a signal — not a sentence. This work helps men become solid on their own so future relationships are chosen from strength, not reaction.
