The Forge.

Our founder’s story.

In the fall of 2011, he was headed to Estes Park, Colorado, completely exhausted, stressed-out, overweight, and READY TO QUIT. He didn’t know it then, but what he would gain on that trip would literally save his life. For the first time ever, he experienced true REST. He discovered new rhythms and gained insight on how to build a healthier mental and physical lifestyle. More importantly, what he learned became the framework he would use to COACH others. He has been on a mission to help other overwhelmed leaders to discover new rhythms for navigating life. It was in that Rocky Mountain “cradle” of Estes Valley that a dream was born. Anchored Alliance, and he has been the FIRST customer.

• As a leader who has built organizations from the ground-up and is doing so again, he knows what exhausted, stressed-out and READY TO QUIT looks like.

• 25 years in one field of work, building two thriving organizations, and being the point leader for 20 of those years, he understands how OVERWHELMED a leader gets.

• With millions of dollars to manage, juggling multiple staff changes, and capital expansion projects on the line; plus maintaining confidence, character and genuine care for the community throughout are the juggernauts of leadership, and he has led through each of them. All of this while discovering his BREAKING POINT… and finding a treasure.

• Being fortunate enough to experience true REST and learn its RHYTHMS literally saved his life… and LEADERSHIP.
