About

What’s up? This is Coach Tom.

Sometimes the most challenging part about what I do is explaining what it is. In the simplest way I can say, I’m here to help. I’m curious and passionate about supporting people in discovering what they need to move forward. I strive to be a bridge to the fields of sport and performance psychology so anyone can use science-based tools to feel and perform at their best.

I offer online support services and in-person training in the Marquette, MI and Upper Peninsula area.

  • In terms of formal education and training, I hold a Master’s of Science degree in Performance Psychology (University of Edinburgh) and I currently practice as a Certified Mental Performance Consultant (CMPC) through the Association of Applied Sport Psychology. I've been fortunate to gain significant experience with an extensive range of clientele —from highschool, college, and professional-level athletes, to providing academic counseling for doctoral-level healthcare students, to providing mentorship to coaches, to leading team building seminars for a variety of professional organizations. Additionally, I am contracting full-time as Cognitive and Mental Performance Specialist for the United State Army as part of the Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) Initiative.

    When I’m not coaching, I can be found hanging out with my wife Faren and dog Peter, browsing for fresh produce at the farmers market, or taking a sauna. For more information on my background and education, see below.
