Rejoin Coaching

Rejoin is a holding company for my digital brands and businesses that I started while designing my way out of my corporate job. We own a few small online businesses: Careercloud.com, Quotebook Journal and my Rejoin Coaching business.

Looking to build Higher Edpreneurship.

Advisory Board Member

I help high achievers break corporate dependence and build beautiful Portfolio Careers for freedom, family and finances.

I help high achieving professionals BREAK corporate dependence and build Self-Directed Lives.
I believe that to transform our circumstances, we have to BREAK what's not working, on purpose. And do it smartly.

My Career Design Lab is where your golden handcuffs and unfulfilling career go to die, and where we reimagine work aligned with who you want to be, who you want to serve and what legacy you want to leave.

Like you:
I know what it's like to be burned out, unfulfilled and secretly DYING for new opportunities. 
I know what it's like to seek my identity and self worth from a job only to realize the mirage.
I know what it's like to sacrifice my health and family for "achievement."

The difference is I did something about it.

In 2018, work wasn't working for me, so I broke it and methodically designed a new life with intention.
I used my job as an investor in my future. I figured out my advantages and then built a side business that I took to full time corporate exit, then scaled to over $1m in revenue.

I built an entire process to help me figure out my re-invented career and now I use that to help other corporate pros smartly build futures that are Self-Directed, intentional and successful - that is my purpose.

Previous, my career spanned:

Financial Futures and Derivatives Trading
3 Startups
Freelance Consulting
Corporate Innovation

I infuse major lessons from these unique experiences to help you craft a dynamic, portfolio career that is adaptable, intentional, purpose driven and never dependent on the whims of corporate structures.

Regional Sales Associate

Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC

I was instructed to make 100+ phone calls per day to sell financial planning and insurance to anyone who could fog a mirror. I felt like a used car salesperson. I didn't last long.

Financial Advisor

𝐀𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬—𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫.

Costs keep rising. Incomes lag behind. And with new technologies disrupting the job market faster than ever, the future can feel uncertain.

So, is financial freedom still possible for hard-working families?

Yes—and that’s where I come in.


𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩:

1️⃣ Live with intention.

I help you prioritize what matters most and eliminate financial clutter—so you can live happier today and invest more in your future.

2️⃣ Invest in tomorrow.

While change makes us feel uncertain, it creates tremendous opportunity for savvy businesses. I’ll help you invest in a way that turns uncertainty into profit.

3️⃣ Plan proactively.

Through transparent, ongoing financial planning, we manage risks, protect your wealth, and keep you on track with your long-term goals—without sales pitches or hidden agendas.


𝐌𝐲 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝:

I used these same principles to step away from corporate life and build a business that aligns with my values.

Thanks to smart investing and intentional planning, I no longer needed to chase more money. This gave me the freedom to build a business I believe in—and one I’ll probably never want to retire from.

And now my life's work is to help others take control of their lives, too. Whether it's starting a business, downshifting to more enjoyable part-time work, or something else. I help my clients eliminate financial stress and start loving life more.

Before going independent, I:

⚫️ Advised financial advisors at major Wall Street wealth management firms

⚫️ Educated them on investment strategies tailored to their clients

⚫️ Oversaw more than $200 million in client assets at one of the world’s largest RIAs

⚫️ Directly served nearly 200 high-net-worth households
