An accomplished athlete in both strength and endurance, combined with 20 years of experience as a fitness professional, Paul offers a unique coaching perspective. He holds two Delaware state records in different weight classes in the deadlift, and was the first person ever to complete a 15-mile swim from Cape May, New Jersey to Cape Henlopen, Delaware.

During his athletic career thus far, Paul has a 15-0 record as a competitive powerlifter; completed six Ironman Triathlons (including three at The world Championships in Kona and the Ironman Japan with Ryan!); ran 20 marathons (including Boston), and was the top American at the 2016 Crash B Indoor Rowing World Championships in the Men's 40-49 lightweight division. In addition, Paul holds the rank of Renshi, which is the equivalent of a sixth degree Black Belt in Kenjutsu from The Delaware Budokan. He is also a Certified International Instructor through the All Japan Budo Federation Seibukan Academy in Kyoto, which is the governing body overseeing all traditional Japanese Arts.

One of the greatest lessons Paul has learned during his lifetime fitness journey is the power of an environment of excellence.

Paul has twice been voted Delaware’s best personal trainer and is the official personal trainer of the Miss Delaware pageant.

What if our world and organizations were filled with people who were committed to shining their light as brightly as possible? What if every person were truly seen for their unique gifts, talents and desire to contribute them? Cassi's definition of leadership embodies this; shining your light so brightly that it illuminates the path for others to do the same. And this is her passion, her purpose and what fuels her to do the work she so passionately loves.

Cassi has been coaching leaders for over 20 years and her coaching spans the globe including Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, and the Middle East. She works with leaders from everything from the Big-4, to higher-education, to non-profits to solo-prenuers. The industry isn't important, the commitment to grow, evolve and transform is. Cassi is a Master Certified Coach (MCC), which is the highest level of coach credentialing in the world, as well as Board Certified (BCC). She is on faculty at Coach University, and is a certified Professional Mentor Coach. Her work has been featured in the NY Times, Bloomberg and Huffington Post.

Cassi's entry into the world of coaching and leadership development was paved by spending, 14 years in the corporate world. She had a very high-powered career, working her way up from an entry-level position answering the phone to becoming the first female Vice President and the first female to serve on the senior management team in a 100-year-old company. This was her vision, she made it happen and it prepared her perfectly for the work she now so dearly loves.

A client once said, "Cassi's success in the business world coupled with her deep spiritual connection and intuition is a rare combination of intellect and heart. Her gift of wisdom, compassion and insight acts as a guiding light to people who are ready to move forward, take action and experience extraordinary results in both business and life." And this truly is the essence of Cassi and the power of her work.

Cassi lives in Beautiful Bend Oregon with her husband, son and Golden-doodle, Kona. Together they ski, bike, hike, and travel the world together. And when Cassi isn't doing the work she loves or playing with family, you'll find her on her yoga mat, reading or sitting outside sipping a glass of vino...
