Meet the Team

We exist to cultivate meaningful connections within individuals, among communities, and across systems. Rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual wisdom, we equip people and organizations to grow with clarity, compassion, and purpose.

  • Tiago lives in the beautiful—though sometimes frozen—Southwest Michigan with his wife and two children. He works as an educational systems supervisor in the region, designing professional learning that emphasizes belonging and well-being while leading initiatives to drive systemic change. Tiago has also shared his expertise on these topics at various state and national conferences. 

    With academic roots in theology, educational psychology, and design, Tiago’s approach is grounded in values and vision. He is known for translating complex systems into practical, human-centered strategies that support youth well-being, adult development, and organizational change. Whether mentoring new professionals, co-developing county-wide initiatives, or presenting on national platforms, Tiago’s leadership is marked by clarity, compassion, and cultural humility.

    At the core of his work is the belief that relationships are the foundation of transformation. He thrives in spaces where courageous conversations, data-driven insights, and creative collaboration come together to disrupt patterns and restore communities.
