A Squid Out of Water


Helping Veterans Reconnect, Rebuild, and Thrive After Service

I spent decades underwater, not knowing I was drowning socially. Now, I coach veterans like you to master the people skills we were never issued.

You Weren’t Trained for This Part

When you leave the military, you don’t just lose your uniform—you lose your team, your structure, your identity.

And for many of us, it’s more than just a job change. It’s isolation. Miscommunication. A quiet sense of being lost.

I know because I lived it. I couldn’t read a room, missed social cues, and felt like a stranger in civilian life.

There’s Nothing Wrong With You. You Just Haven’t Been Trained—Yet.

Five years ago, I discovered what I was missing: the ability to truly connect with people. Since then, I’ve studied emotional intelligence and people skills like my life depended on it. Because honestly, at times—it did.

Now, I help other veterans rebuild those same skills through coaching and practical training.

You're not alone. You're not broken. And you’re not done growing.
