The People

It is the people that make the Institute of Purpose, and it is people that will always make it what it is and what it is to become. While we aim to uphold the highest integrity with our services and research, we first and foremost strive, as people, to act as beacons of hope and exemplars of the Institute of Purpose and its mission and vision.

While our credentials and respective professional experiences qualify each of us to do the work we do, it is, most importantly, the stories of our lives that drive the mission and vision. Perhaps there are two types of people: those who have transcended suffering and those who have yet to do so. Regardless of which group one may fall into, we believe that everyone has, or will have, challenges to overcome that will elevate them to a more remarkable version of themselves.

Here are the people who collectively make up the Institute of Purpose, each giving you a look into their story.
