About Me

I am Trae. I am a strategist, coach, and global risk and operations leader. I have also served internationally in roles where the stakes were not quarterly targets. They were real lives, real consequences, and real impact.

For more than a decade I worked in environments where uncertainty was normal and clarity was survival. I led teams through crises, advised senior leaders, and solved problems that did not come with instructions.

Those experiences did not just teach me strategy.

They taught me how people truly change.

I have seen what happens when someone is successful on paper but misaligned in real life. I have also seen what becomes possible when they finally get clear, intentional, and honest about who they are and where they are going.

Today I work with high performers, leaders, and ambitious professionals who are done living on autopilot. They want clarity. They want structure. They want alignment between who they are, what they want, and how they live.

My framework, The Strategic Self, builds seven systems designed to create stability, direction, freedom, and purpose so you stop reacting to life and start leading it.

If you are ready to think deeper, build stronger, and step into a more powerful version of your life, I would be honored to be in your corner.

  • Mastery

  • Momentum

  • Freedom

  • Clarity

  • Purpose

  • Fulfillment

This is not therapy. It is strategic, structured guidance for your life.

    "Trae has been a great mentor and really helped me navigate my transition out of Foreign Service. Trae and I worked together to clearly define boundaries for my personal and professional needs and wants, and focus on work I loved to do rather than what I was just good at/known for. His guidance and expertise have been invaluable!"

I highly recommend Trae to anyone who is looking for a mentor who can help them grow professionally and personally. He is truly a fantastic mentor and a wonderful person!"

    "Trae has been very helpful in streamlining and simplifying my resume. He brings a well-informed perspective to the table that has been cultivated over several years in the tech industry. We often write our CV's in a tone that we understand, resulting in a communication that may not be easily understood by others. He compartmentalized my CV/resume and helped me in showing my most relevant skills in a language that is widely used in the industry. He believes in delivering a quality product, irrespective of the time spent on it. I highly recommend his services."

    "I was referred to Trae by a mutual friend just as he was starting to grow and market his coaching service. As a coach who has worked for three major tech companies, Trae brings a lot of personal experience and knowledge to every step of the job search process, from presenting yourself well through your resume and LinkedIn to interview preparation and fielding offers. He was also very empathetic, listened a lot, and always kept focus on my needs, rather than superimposing his own view of how our meetings should go."
