Land your first full-time engineering role at a company you actually want to work for.

My goal is simple: I want to help you land a great engineering role that gets you excited — one you're proud to tell your friends and family about. Here are the three things I'm going to help you do to get there:

I've coached engineers into landing offers from top tier companies — including but not limited to Google, SpaceX, GE, and Ford. Some have landed multiple offers from Fortune 100 companies at the same time. When I started working with them, it was clear they were good engineers with solid technical knowledge and real experience. What they weren't good at was communicating, packaging, and presenting the value and impact they were capable of delivering — to a hiring manager or recruiting team who had three seconds to decide whether to keep reading. Together, we transformed them into exceptional candidates whose capabilities on paper finally matched their capabilities in reality.

I've never been a full-time recruiter. I've never been an HR person. I am an engineer — just like you. The difference is: I've cracked the system. And I can share it with you.

My first major engineering role was at John Deere. Over 8 years there, I worked my way up from entry-level engineer to junior engineer, Scrum Master, Product Owner, senior engineer, staff engineer, engineering manager, and finally an organization-wide strategic AI and efficiency leadership role. In that time, I made four major domain and role-type pivots — including mechanical engineering to embedded software, and individual contributor to manager — and earned four promotions. In every single role, I was either conducting interviews, sitting on hiring panels, hiring for my own team, or attending career fairs to recruit engineers for Deere.

I've read more resumes than I can count. I've seen which ones stand out from the stack and which ones get passed over. I've been in the interview panel debrief rooms where candidates' performances get discussed and ranked. I've conducted countless interviews and witnessed firsthand what works and what doesn't. I've seen time and time again who gets the offer and who doesn't — and why. This knowledge isn't theoretical. It's not based on what I think might be the case. It's based on what has actually happened, and what I have witnessed directly on the engineering side of a top-tier company.

Look — I don't have some stellar backstory. I grew up in the Midwest. Went to a state school. Didn't graduate with a super high GPA. I didn't have a powerful network before getting hired at Deere. I remember sending out hundreds of applications only to hear crickets back. Through all of it, I cracked the code. And if I can do it with that background, so can you. I can show you how.

One of the first things I'd tell you — whether you apply to work with me or not — is this: change your mindset. You are not a beggar seeking charity from some company benevolent enough to give you a handout. You are a capable, smart engineer with real technical knowledge, and you bring unique experiences, talents, and genuine value and impact to any organization willing to give you a shot. You just need to communicate that value more effectively and have a consistent system and strategy to land the opportunity. That is the canvas on which we will build the beginning of your new journey together.

Because I can only take on 10 clients per month, I need to do some work up front to make sure we're a good fit for each other. And if we're not, no hard feelings — I'll try to point you in the right direction to get help, even if it's not from me.

This won't work for you if you...

• ✕Haven't applied for any jobs yet and don't have a serious resume put together
• ✕Are expecting a coach to do all the work for you and hand it over
• ✕Have worked with other career coaches and the pattern is that "they were always the problem"
• ✕Are convinced your resume is already strong and your interview examples and performance have no room to improve

But if you...

• ✓Have graduated with an engineering degree
• ✓Have been struggling to land interviews, or you're landing interviews and not getting offers extended to you
• ✓Have already put in real effort on your resume and interview prep and it's still not producing results
• ✓Take direction well and can follow a solid plan
• ✓Are committed to doing meaningful work between sessions — not just showing up to the calls
• ✓Recognize that you need a better system, not just more applications
• ✓Take personal responsibility for your results based on the effort you put in
• ✓Are frustrated by the constant apply-and-reject cycle and ready to do something different about it

...this program could be the big unlock you've been searching for to help you land that next engineering role.

Here's what we're going to do together.

All four sessions are recorded. You receive the video, audio, and full transcript of every session for your reference. Everything we build together stays with you.

There are two paths, depending on where you are and what you need.

Most clients complete the 1-Month Program and start actively interviewing. Continued Coaching is for those who want a consistent coaching relationship — someone in their corner at every step until the offer is signed. Basic math either way: every month without an engineering offer costs roughly $6,000–$8,000 in lost income based on BLS entry-level engineering salary averages. The program pays for itself in about the first week on the job.
