We are Success Coaches who believe the discovery of your God-given purpose is the foundation on which all fruitful lives are built. which must be stewarded wisely, yet we also believe it requires a decision! It takes more than dreams and desire – it requires action!” That is why everything we do is geared to helping people – just like you – do what it takes to be successful! We believe this is especially true when it comes to answering the call God has placed on your life. Measuring success through the lens of love and the progress of those you have the privilege to help or serve. Looking back over 35 years in business, we would say – in a nutshell – we are both “serial entrepreneurs”. We love building and pioneering businesses – especially when it includes helping people grow, be successful and use their talents in the most effective ways. We have been CEO’s, and when not running our own businesses, executive success coaches to other entrepreneurs and CEO’s. God has blessed us with many gifts and years of experience that we are now putting to use in Identity and Destiny. But none of this would have been possible unless we each came to a point where we were finally ready to make an “about face” – and go another direction with our lives. Through the grace of God, we came to know Him personally back in 2001. In fact – as only God can do, we came to the know the Lord independent of each other – but just 30 days apart!!! Now that is a miracle all in itself. With the recent Barna Studies saying that only 3% of people over age 18 ever come to know the Lord – well, we continue to stand in amazement and thankfulness for this amazing gift of faith in both our lives. As our personal relationship with the Lord has grown, it has radically changed who we are and how we use our time, talent and resources. As we have allowed Him to direct our paths, we have discovered our purpose, captured a huge Kingdom vision for how He wants to use our lives and made the changes necessary to go into business together (for the first time) as we birthed Identity and Destiny in 2008. Identity and Destiny was born out of Executive Coaching and prayer. God called us to lay down our life-long pursuit of all the traditional trappings of success (power, money and prestige), and refocus our efforts onto work that has eternal value and impact. Many people scratch their heads and wonder what’s going on as we redirect our lives…but without a doubt – it is the most fulfilling, most amazing…most gratifying work we have ever done! As one of our friends recently said to us, “Oh, I get it. You used to build people for business success…now you build people for purpose and significance”. Using the Biblical model of multiplication, we are building a world-wide community of 1000 Christian coaches and counselors who are trained and equipped to take the message Identity and Destiny into their unique areas of calling and influence. Our Mission: No more having to measure up or strive to be somebody I’m not. I now know that I am a source of strength and focus, and I don’t have to be ashamed of that. When I’m in that zone – I know that I am exactly who God made me to be. And now I’m helping others discover who they are in God’s eyes by using what once was my “untold story”. I am now using my passion to help people embrace who they are in God’s eyes, help them break free and be all that He has created them to be. After years of trying to fix things in my own strength – I finally learned through the help of some very kind friends and a neighborhood Bible Study – that God had a better way. Through a series of events that finally brought me to the end of myself – I finally turned to Jesus on June 13, 2001 and invited him into my life – and nothing has ever been the same since! Over the years since that day – I have found peace I had so long sought after – and as He promised me in His Word – God has continued to “restore the years that the locust had eaten”. My adult son is sober, I’m walking in victory over codependency and the healing and restoration in our family is nothing short of a miracle of God’s blessing. I have also found great hope and healing through strong Christian coaching, counseling and a Celebrate Recovery 12 Steps program Now, through Identity and Destiny, God is allowing me to use all of my story – even the trials and pain. He is allowing me to help others discover their purpose and find a message of hope – the kind of hope that can only come from finding a way to walk victoriously through the hard places in life. And what I have learned is this…if you will allow Him…God wants to use YOU to help others – not in spite of your past – but because of it!!! As a “serial entrepreneur” I have started, built 6 companies and sold 5 of them over the last 26 years, and I am now building business number 7 – Identity and Destiny. I have made a study of business, sales, entrepreneurship, corporate culture and success tools creating a valuable base of transferable experience and wisdom. As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be in business for myself. As a kid in Lancaster, PA, I started selling soft pretzels, cutting lawns and then worked various part-time and summer jobs as I completed high school. I graduated from St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia in 1971 with a B.S. in Accounting. The thought was that I could start an accounting service which would require very little money… because the truth of the matter was…I had no real capital to invest! What I soon came to realize was that I hated accounting. So, with a mid-course correction, I spent 2 years working and going to Temple University in Philadelphia where I earned an MBA in Marketing. I began working at IBM and found my new job in sales interesting, exciting and challenging. After a few job hops, I felt it was time to take my first real dive into entrepreneurship. What began as an undercapitalized startup providing executive search services in the IT industry later became a full service computer staffing firm. As the business grew, I added a temporary services business as well as a division providing consulting in TQM and project management. By the time I sold the business in 1996, the combined business had grown to 5 locations in 3 states, had several hundred employees and was generating $13.5M in annual revenue. The business was pushing a remarkable 15% to the bottom line, while the industry was averaging about a 6% profit margin.
