MEET MARK

Surviving a near-fatal jet crash in 1997, earning the call sign “Laz” for Lazarus, wasn’t just a dramatic event; it was a profound awakening. That moment, suspended by my harness as my flipped aircraft lay still, forced me to confront the fragility of life and the power of resilience. My initial shame transformed into a deep understanding of human vulnerability and the importance of compassion.

This journey and my perspectives on 30 years of naval leadership fueled my creation of Lazarus Coaching and Consulting in 2023. I believe in the transformative power of facing our “mistakes,” recognizing them as stepping stones to growth rather than defining moments of failure. I’m passionate about working with individuals and organizations as an executive coach and leadership development facilitator, guiding them to unlock their extraordinary potential.
