Craft The Life You’ve Been Longing For.
You’re driven and successful, but does your life look the way you wished it would a decade ago? If you are like many men, you’re living what Thoreau called a life of “quiet desperation.” Your job is asking more from you than you want to give. Your marriage is good, but it could be better. You love your kids, but if you’re honest you don’t have a clear plan for their formation. What if there was a partner who could help you take your life from good to better or maybe best?
At Craftd, We Develop Men Capable of Integrating the Heart of Their Work With the Work of Their Hearts.
Here’s the deal: You were made to dream, pursue, work, build, create, and execute, but you were also made to love, shepherd, defend, and guide. My guess is that you succeeded with the former in your first half of life, but now you’re facing the pivot. It’s the second half of life when men are called to carry serious weight, and it is hard for all of us.
Odds are, you don’t need a therapist to help you explore your past, you need a coach to help you craft your future.
Check out this assessment to see if coaching is the right next step for you.
Our Services
Personal
Maybe you’ve read (or started) some books and listened to podcasts, but you know you need an approach that is personalized to your context. At Craftd, we’ve consumed the best content available and will use that to help you grow as an individual. Everything you want to acheive in life hinges on your personal health. Why not invest in it like it’s crucial?
Development
You are either growing or regressing. Life doesn’t applaud stagnation. Twenty years ago I was tasked with leading personal development for a thousand-person student organization. Two decades focused on strategic growth for healthcare organizations and individuals have prepared me to be your partner for your journey.

Coach
There’s no shame in having someone focus on your formation. Have you ever seen a tennis star looking at their box during a match? Even the highest performers know they need a coach to help them maximize their performance. In coaching, you are the expert on your life, but a coach is an expert in facilitating your growth.
​
Are you sure you are becoming the BEST version of yourself? At Craftd, we believe that comes when you optimize and integrate your BODY, EMOTION, SPIRIT, and TALENT.
Growing Yourself is Not a Luxury. It’s a Necessary Investment for Your Family Legacy.
Coaching now is cheaper than a future divorce. Healing your parenting habits now is cheaper than trying to fix your kids later. Developing discipline now is cheaper than dealing with the consequences later. Committing to your growth now is an investment guaranteed to compound for years to come.
David has a proven track record of guiding others through personal growth for 20 years. He’s weathered tremendous storms, including training as a surgeon, living in Sub-Saharan Africa, raising three boys, thriving in marriage, and suffering medical hardships as a family.

In the first half of David’s career, maternal mortality seemed like the biggest problem in the world that he could address, so he gave himself to that for over 10 years. Nowadays, after helping thousands of families get their start, he’s focused on helping fathers finish well. The pain men experience (often quietly) as they struggle to bear the weight of all their responsibilities doesn’t have to be carried alone. David trained as an Executive Coach with the Townsend Institute at Concordia University, the only faith-based and academically rigorous coaching program in the United States. It is built on John Townsend’s Growth Model and decades of experience as a counselor, consultant, and coach. Coaching is an emerging profession, but David approaches it like a professional affiliating with the International Coaching Federation, the most respected governing body for coaches around the world.​
