Achieve Your IT Career Dreams with Our Guidance
Get personalized support to accomplish your professional goals, overcome obstacles, and thrive in your chosen path.
I am a US veteran, born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri. My career began with the US Air Force, a journey filled with adventures and seeing the world en route. Inspired to do more, after the military, I pursued a career as a government contractor, working in Iraq and Afghanistan directly with the US Marines. When I returned to the States, I started my corporate career as an engineer, drawing upon my prior real-world experience. I owe a big thank you to the US Air Force!
My mission is to introduce career-focused individuals into the Information Technology workspace. In addition, I want to assist people already in the IT industry with moving their careers forward on the correct technical path to reaching their aspirations.
Hi, I’m Jay.
I find joy in supporting others on the same journey I’ve been on. My goal is to bring happiness and empowerment to your career.

“I interviewed a few other coaches and was put off by how much they talked and how little they listened! Jay really knows how to listen. He has such a patient, grounded, yet totally engaged way of working. I have been working with him under the accountability program and have already achieved some careeer goals at a much faster pace than anticipated"
