EXECUTIVE COACHING
Built From Experience. Not Theory.
If you're going to trust someone with your business, you deserve to know they've walked the road before you.
I haven't just studied leadership, marketing, and business growth.
I've lived it.
I know what it's like to lie awake worrying about payroll.
I know what it's like to work 90-hour weeks.
I know what it's feels like when revenue keeps growing but life keeps getting worse.
I've also experienced what happens when you build the business the right way.
Today, I help service business owners create businesses that give them freedom because that's exactly what I had to learn to do myself.
Here's what I've built
$3M+ Annual Revenue
2,300+ Recurring Clients
20% EBITA
Leadership Team of 6
I live 700 Miles Away
32+ Businesses Coached in 12 States
$10M+Revenue Generated Through In-House FB Marketing
MY STORY
I didn't become an executive coach because I read a few business books. I became a coach because I lived through the exact challenges most business owners face.
I started Treppendahl Landscape in 2012 with big dreams and very little experience. Like many entrepreneurs, I believed that if I could just grow revenue, everything else would take care of itself.
For a while, it worked.
From the outside, it looked like success.
Behind the scenes, it was anything but. We were doing roughly $1.5 million in annual revenue while losing more than $100,000 a year. I didn't understand my financials. I didn't know how to hire and develop leaders. We had very few systems. Every important decision flowed through me, and I was working 90-hour weeks just trying to keep everything together. As a young husband beginning to think about raising a family, it was exhausting. To survive, I took on more than $400,000 of debt, hoping that working harder would eventually solve the problem. It didn't.
Then everything changed.
I hired a coach. He saw problems that I couldn't see myself. He challenged my thinking, held me accountable, and gave me a framework for building a business instead of simply working in one. The changes weren't always easy, but they were far less painful than continuing down the road I was on.
Within months, we became profitable.
Within little more than a year, we had earned over $100,000 in profit. From there, everything began to change. We built systems.We developed leaders.We learned our numbers. We created accountability. We built a predictable marketing engine that eventually generated more than $10 million in revenue for our company. Over the following years, we eliminated every dollar of debt and built a leadership team capable of running the day-to-day business.
Then something happened I never thought would be possible.
My family and I moved 700 miles away to Greenville, South Carolina. Today, Treppendahl Landscape continues to grow with an outstanding leadership team in place while I focus only on the highest-value areas of the business. Instead of living inside the daily operations, I now spend my time building leaders, coaching business owners, and investing in my family.
That freedom didn't happen by accident.
It came from building the right business. That's why I coach. I don't coach from theory. I coach from experience.
I've made expensive mistakes, carried the stress of overwhelming debt, built the leadership team, scaled the marketing, and learned what it takes to build a business that no longer depends entirely on its owner. Today, I work with established service business owners who want to grow profitable companies, build exceptional leadership teams, and create businesses that give them freedom—not businesses that own them.
If that's the business you're trying to build, I'd be honored to help you build it.
