I am a high-performance life, teen and relationship coach, but most importantly, I’m a husband and a father. I married my high school sweetheart, and together we have seven children. In 2019, I retired from teaching after 16 years to pursue my passion as a life and business coach and entrepreneur. I have an undergraduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master’s degree in Leadership. That same year, I started the CONNECT UP YouTube channel, and in 2020, Chelsea joined me. Together, we’ve had the privilege of teaching and inspiring millions around the world.
For over 25 years, I’ve dedicated my life to helping people grow—spiritually, emotionally, and personally. What began as a passion for teaching has evolved into a mission that’s touched thousands of lives around the world. Along the way, I’ve invested thousands of hours studying and mastering the principles of spirituality, leadership, personal development, and emotional resilience.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Marriage and Family from Brigham Young University (2004) and a Master’s Degree in Leadership from Gonzaga University (2009). After years of teaching, I was encouraged to step into life coaching—and from my very first session, I was hooked. Helping people transform their mindset, relationships, and purpose has become my life’s work.
Today, my coaching programs serve teens, adults, and couples, guiding them to build stronger minds, deeper connections, and more purposeful lives. Because let’s face it—we all need a little help becoming the best version of ourselves.

Reclaim your energy, focus, and purpose—without breaking the bank.
If life has felt off-track lately, the 4 Week Reset is your chance to start fresh. This budget-friendly coaching experience is a condensed version of my proven 12-Week Program—delivering the same powerful results in a focused, four-week format.
Each week, we’ll work together

‘When I first met Steve we could feel an energy from him unlike what we have felt from anyone else. We knew we needed to get ourselves and our business to the next level and asked Steve to coach us. We have never regretted that decision. Not only has our business now gone international but we are stronger as individuals and as a couple. He really pulled out the best in us. We were so impressed that we asked him to coach our 18 year old and that has been a game changer for him as well. Steve has a way to awake the greatness within you. I have even recommended others to him. He does a superb job with coaching. “ - Greg, UT
"As I had been working with Steve as a personal mentor and saw clear immediate results in my own life, it was a given that he would make a profound impact in coaching our teenage son. Steve's transparent, empowering, patient and individualized approach to connecting with him allowed my husband and I to confidently exhale and look forward to his own self discovery. We are able to trust that he was learning and practicing the skills he needs to live confidently and channel his energy into action steps that will forever serve him." - Susan, WI
"When I knew Steve was going to be at a conference I made sure my teen was there, after coaching with Steve for a short time I was amazing at how fast my son improved in all areas of his life." Adam
