Product Owner/Manager

Google Ad Grants is available to every registered non-profit in over 50 countries. Google initially awards $10,000 per month that can be spent marketing through its search product and will increase their donation to $40,000 per month if managed correctly.

I connect non-profits with Google's grant program, provide setup, maintain the account monthly with an eye towards growth, and make sure the return is worth the time invested for the non-profit.

I grew Lukas Coaching rapidly over the years and other businesses began asking how they could do the same. Thus began my work helping people start and grow a business they really cared about. Some of them have gone on to impact the world.

I consult with clients located around the world and am excited about helping businesses do business better by putting a human element back into what they do.

Coach Radio

Product, Marketing and Operations Consultant

I trained with Dave Ramsey and his team early in 2006 and immediately launched Lukas Coaching as a Financial Coach. I had very little business experience but there was no way I was going to let that stand in the way of helping people.

Lukas Coaching plateaued in growth 12 months after launching it and, after trying a few things, I still couldn't figure out how to make it grow enough to replace my income at the airline. It would have been a shame if I couldn't make it work back then because hundreds of people wouldn't have been able to benefit. But I hired coaches, took classes, read books...and I made it work.
