LEAD YOURSELF FIRST.
EVERYTHING ELSE FOLLOWS.
High-Performance Coaching for Executives, Teams, Leaders & Entrepreneurs.
I'm Coach Brutal. I build High Performers from the inside out using tested systems that create Clarity, Discipline, and Self-Command.
If you're done drifting and ready to operate at the level your potential demands, this is where it starts.
I Don't Teach Motivation.
I Build Operating Systems.
I’m Coach “Brutal,” a high-performance and executive coach who helps leaders take command of who they are, how they operate, and how they lead when pressure shows up.
I don’t coach motivation.
I install structure.
My work blends Certified High Performance Coaching, Maxwell Leadership principles, NLP-based identity reconstruction, and Stoic disciplines into a single operating standard for leaders who refuse to break under pressure.
I build leaders who:
-
Don’t negotiate with their emotions
-
Don’t rely on intensity to perform
-
Don’t rise by accident
My programs aren’t an inspiration.
They’re reconstruction.
Before coaching, I served nearly 22 years in the United States Army, retiring as a Command Sergeant Major. I led in environments where clarity wasn’t optional, and discipline wasn’t negotiable, including multiple combat deployments where leadership carried real consequences.
Today, I coach executives, founders, and high performers using The Brutal Leadership Standard, a five-pillar system that rebuilds how leaders think, decide, and execute under demanding conditions when performance can’t be faked.
The Brutal Leadership Standard
The Operating Standard Behind Everything I Build
Most coaches give you tactics. I rebuild leaders by installing an operating standard.
The Brutal Leadership Standard is the architecture behind all my work. It’s a five-pillar sequence that governs how leaders think, decide, and execute when pressure removes comfort.
Clarity
Know what matters and why it matters
Consistency
Build systems that perform without motivation
Capacity
Expand what you can handle under pressure
Congruence
Align who you are with who you lead
Freedom
Operate with confidence, calm, and control
This isn’t theory.
It’s the standard that separates leaders who sustain performance from those who burn out chasing it.
Two Systems. One Mission
Two proven frameworks. One mission: sustainable high performance.
I don’t offer disconnected programs. I install a leadership operating system.
Every client enters through a required sequence designed to rebuild how you operate under pressure. Foundation comes first. Evolution follows.
That sequence is delivered through my two-phase coaching system, built to Unleash your Potential and Elevate your Performance.
The 12-Week High-Performance Blueprint
This is where leadership stops drifting and starts operating.
A twelve week, 1-1 journey where you and I as a team install the systems that create Clarity, Consistency, and Capacity. Where we design your High Performance Blueprint and where scattered execution becomes structured. Motivation is replaced with discipline. Pressure stops dictating behavior.
This phase establishes the foundation on which everything else depends.
Beyond Performance.
Beyond Performance is not an entry point. It is earned.
This 12 week program is only available only to Blueprint graduates and evolves what’s already installed. The focus shifts to identity Congruence, Emotional Mastery, and Leadership standards that hold as pressure becomes constant and responsibility scales.
This is where leaders become unshakeable.
1:1 Executive Coaching
Direct access to me for executives and founders carrying real responsibility.
We customize systems around your performance gaps, leadership challenges, and identity evolution. This is not motivational coaching. This is precision work designed to restore clarity, discipline, and command.
Team Leadership Coaching
I bring The Brutal Leadership Standard directly into your organization.
I work with leadership teams to install shared standards, accountability systems, and execution rhythms so the team stops reacting and starts operating as a unit. Leaders learn to lead themselves first, then each other.
Coaching built for leaders
1:1 or Team. The Standard Stays the Same.
Whether you’re leading yourself or leading others, the work is the same: install systems that hold when stress hits.
The format adjusts.
The standard does not.
Real Questions. Real Leadership. Real Talk.
Q. How can I maintain High Performance without burning out?
You replace motivation with structure. Your designed Blueprint builds consistency and resilience so you perform because of your systems, not despite your circumstances.
Q. What makes Coach Brutal and the programs different from typical executive coaching?
Every framework I teach is both experience-based and performance-tested. I don't teach theory. I install systems that perform when pressure hits.
Q Why does discipline matter more than motivation for CEOs?
Motivation fades. Discipline scales. I help leaders systemize discipline until it becomes automatic.
Tactical Content. No Fluff. No Filters.
Access the tools, insights, and frameworks I use to sharpen leadership and build sustainable performance.
Trusted by High Performers Worldwide
From CEOs to Combat Veterans turned entrepreneurs our frameworks equip leaders who refuse to settle. We partner with those who demand structure, accountability, and execution under pressure.
"This isn’t a therapy session. This is a tactical assessment and execution of you as a person, you as a leader, and your business. If you want therapy without accountability, tap into your insurance because this isn’t that. This is where change actually happens, not where egos get stroked."
