If done right, there is NO WAY a single consultant can provide the depth and breadth that effective mindset, college, and career consulting demands.

"See if you worry 'bout the fall, you will never jump at all
Afraid of something new
But if you make it through the door, I will follow you for sure, and
I, jump with you
I will jump with you"
-SOJA
My Real Frequency is on fire when I am behind a boat waterskiing or listening to music that speaks to my spirit. The whole world washes away. There is nothing a human with determination and help can’t achieve. It takes vulnerability and self-awareness - 2 things I constantly work on. The RF Team jumps with me... especially when I worry about the fall. And WE will jump with you.

Director of College Consulting
As an educator, consultant and tutor, my cup is filled when I am helping students achieve happiness and success. I believe this can propel students into a multitude of amazing experiences! Through my academic career, I have learned that plans often…don’t go according to plan. And that’s ok! My goal is to build meaningful relationships, inspire confidence and pride, and empower students’ love for lifelong learning–in and out of the classroom.
I am a Northwest native whose Real Frequency can be found in the mountains and rivers of Montana. I love kayaking, swimming, hiking, camping, and birdwatching! I am energized when sharing my love for the outdoors with my students, family, and canine soulmate, Ty.

- Mark Twain
My Purpose: I set picks, so others can make plays.
This means that I work to help people succeed. This is where I find my Real Frequency and why I love doing what I do.
My advice is to take it easy, because things work out. I like to think that my varied and somewhat odd career path is a testament to a "why not?" approach, and the personal satisfaction that taking chances can bring.

My Purpose: "I clear the playing field, so others can swing for the fences."
Where my purpose comes from: I played baseball in high school and my family and I lived three blocks from the field. Two hours before every game, my mom would hop on her riding mower and ride the three blocks to our field. She’d cut the infield grass nice and tight and help us remove any stones or rocks we found. When finished, she’d hop back on and ride home.
She understood a fundamental leadership quality…removing obstacles allows others to use their natural talents and strengths to excel. I learned that lesson watching her cut our infield grass and have applied it throughout my career.

Director of Mental Performance
My passion is mental conditioning. As a former 2-sport division-I student-athlete, I have learned a lot (through mistakes and successes) about the importance of positive mindset. I left my corporate role as a number one ranked medical sales professional and national sales trainer to coach people in all walks of life on the importance of mental toughness.
Through my work, I have the privilege of working with some of the world’s best organizations including: Nike, Zillow, Los Angeles Dodgers, Lululemon, Microsoft, Salesforce, Anaheim Ducks, Alaska Airlines, FedEx, and Amazon.

RF Chief Strategy Officer and Director of College Financial Planning
I love tinkering with systems and challenging the status quo, and I’m setting my sights on the college process after years as a school counselor. I wrote Choose the Perfect College to give students and parents sanity during the college selection and decision process, and Hire Education is a “how-to-think” book that challenges our approach to applying to and paying for college.
My family and I recently moved to suburban Denver, and we enjoy weekend hikes (lovingly referred to as “forced family fun”), doing something creative, and spending time with friends from church and our neighborhood. I can’t wait to work on the next idea that helps us do our jobs better at Real Frequency!

I am most in tune with my Real Frequency when I am trying something new like running away to Costa Rica with no plan and no money (true story). Everything is an opportunity to learn and grow, especially as an adolescent currently navigating college life. I strive to empower others to hone into their Real Frequencies and seize the day!

RF Canada - International University Consultant
I am a Canadian who loves outdoor sports and recreation, maple syrup and sitting down and relaxing on the chesterfield after a hard day’s work, eh. Activities that get 100% of my focus is where I find my Real Frequency. For me that can be many things, but is most often education, sports, learning a new skill, or trying to keep up with my wife and dog in the beautiful Canadian Rockies.
One thing that tunes me into my Real Frequency is helping others succeed. Having been educated on both sides of the 49th parallel, I look forward to sharing my insights and experiences to help those who are considering hopping the border for university from and to Canada.

RF Sports Consultant for DI , D II , DIII, and Club Programs
I am a native Washingtonian, but have been all over North America for my schooling and work. I have been a part of higher education since my first days of undergraduate school to my current gig as an Associate Professor in the Sport Management department at Gonzaga University. I am truly blessed to work with college students on a daily basis and help guide them to find their own Real Frequency in life, through sport or whatever they enjoy.
After graduating and finishing my career as a collegiate athlete, I continually find new ways to be active. Whether it’s training for a triathlon, playing intramural sports with my graduate students, or going on a hike with my kids, it doesn’t really matter. I like to be active, while also finding time to relax. I really enjoy playing and coaching sports, having recently been fortunate to coach my kids as well as local high school students.

RF Essay Specialist
I am an educator who strives to inspire curiosity and foster a love of learning in my students. It is a thrill to connect them to the world through engaging learning experiences that are purposeful and active. My favorite part of being an educator is building meaningful relationships and creating positive
environments where we genuinely learn from one another. As an essay specialist, I aim to assist students in becoming more confident writers as they share their personal stories. As a native Floridian, my real frequency is found when enjoying the beach. My car is almost always a bit sandy, but that’s the way I like it! I love traveling, hiking, kayaking, and eating at new restaurants. One of my life goals is never to stop learning and growing. I am in my happy place when spending time with my three beautiful kids and my dog, Rosie!

Being from the Northwest, I learned the power of yes. Yes to trying new things, new places, and new adventures like earning a motorcycle license, backpacking through Europe alone, and hitting a 180 bowling average! While I love to be out in a crowd, trying new ventures, I also have a deep-seated love for my favorite homebody activities: reading and writing. There is nothing cozier than spending a drizzling rainy day in autumn as one dives into an ink-stained world.
As an English educator, I strive to create relationships with students to develop that innate desire to share, open-up, and empathize through literature and their own writing, finding awe in their own vulnerability. It's a little scary to say yes, but my students find it is worth it.

RF Essay Specialist and Editor
As an educator, Certified Life Coach, and freelance writer and author, I love helping individuals find hope and direction in a world filled with uncertainty and chaos. Few things in life are as fulfilling as helping people find their true paths.
I find I am most in tune with my true self when I am hiking in my two favorite places, Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. The exhilaration of exploring nature and finding its hidden treasures tunes me into my Real Frequency. It takes dedication and perseverance to complete the 6-mile, steep, uphill hike to Ptarmigan Tunnel, but overcoming that challenge makes me feel like I can accomplish anything!
