Meet Fernando
I became a life coach to help individuals achieve a positive and lasting change by giving them the tools needed to improve and advance their careers and the knowledge to live a healthier and more prosperous life.
After spending over 31 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, U. S. Army, and the Defense Intelligence Agency, I have acquired knowledge and skills to effectively serve the military, government, and First Responder clientele.
In addition, I am a professionally trained Evidence-Based Coach certified by the International Federation and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Human Development/Evidence-Based Coaching.
As a life coach, I now have the opportunity to give back and share the benefits of what I have learned with other individuals, military members, and groups to help them find their own path and develop the confidence and courage to create a positive change in their lives.
