Dave Brunelle

My wife, Carole, and I have been married for over 33 years now.  We have eight kids. Yes, eight kids, (three birth and five adopted) three two sons-in-law, seven grandchildren, three motorcycles, and one dog.

I grew up in a one traffic light Norman Rockwell-esq small town.  My adult life has been spent in service to others and in two primary domains; public safety and non-profit faith-based work in communities.  I was in public safety for 15 years, some of it in Emergency Management but most of it as a Firefighter-Paramedic and as a special rescue team technician and trainer.  For the last 19 years, I’ve been a pastor at a church that a team and I planted in the Cleveland area.

Over those 30 plus years I've always enjoyed helping people and organizations move forward.  That's why I got into coaching and I’ve helped ordinary folks, leaders, executives, boards, and teams do just that; move forward, in significant ways. I'm a naturally curious person but I also have a fierce competitive streak.  I leverage that curiosity and drive to win towards being the best coach I can be for my clients.  Clients find me to be a champion for them and their goals.  I stand with them in uncertainty and walk with them through adversity.  I help them fight for clarity on the questions that matter most and find courage to act on the answers that come.

I can help you live and lead courageously.
