Hey there! I’m Pancho

I light up when I help others explore and learn about themselves.

As a rock climbing, mountaineering, and canyoneering guide, yoga teacher, and a men’s group member, it’s a joy to walk alongside others as they rise to their challenges and grow as a result.

Outdoor adventure, time in nature, and physical activities help me learn about myself and others. Clarity comes when I’m breathing hard, working through fear, and trusting someone on the other end of a rope. It’s weirdly similar to a deeply introspective conversation with a trusted friend.

I’m a rebel. I risk social ties and conventional success to ensure I’m in integrity—that my beliefs, values, and actions are aligned. This stems from a childhood where adults told me what to believe without engaging in meaningful dialogue about their beliefs.

I am fascinated by ideas and the process of finding connections between disparate concepts.

I’m kind of a fucker. I’ll stick my finger in your mouth mid-yawn and put beef boullion in your showerhead. I won’t hesitate to call out irony and inconsistency, but I’ll also make sure we have a good laugh about it as we get to the heart of your intentions.

The Sierra Nevada is my favorite place in the world. It is where I go to put things in perspective and remember what is important.

As your coach, I’ll bring my whole self to the conversation, excited for you to do the same.
