I've been married to my wife, Jeanie, for 26 years, and together we have raised three awesome children. Throughout our dating, engagement, and marriage, we have intentionally invested in our relationship by spending quality time together, having fun, and prioritizing our marriage.
We've celebrated milestones by creating memorable experiences—from attending Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks games during our early anniversaries to traveling to Cancun, Costa Rica, and Punta Cana, and even going skydiving for our fifteenth anniversary.
We believe healthy marriages don't happen by accident—they require intentional investment.
That conviction inspires my passion for helping engaged couples build a strong foundation through Pre-Marriage Coaching.
Marriage is one of God's greatest gifts and one of His greatest tools for shaping our character. While we are deeply thankful for a strong marriage, we've also experienced challenges, disappointments, and seasons that required perseverance, forgiveness, and faith. Through it all, God has taught us to trust and pursue Him, authentically love one another, serve each other with humility, and grow in appreciation through every season of life.
As a pre-marriage coach, I don't come as someone who has everything figured out. Rather, I come alongside couples as a fellow traveler who has spent decades learning and growing through the realities of marriage. My desire is to provide practical tools, personal encouragement, and real-life insights that help couples prepare not just for a wedding day, but for a lifetime of marriage.

“We loved participating in Pre-Marriage Coaching with Chia. The experience has proven to be incredibly valuable as we took our first steps into marriage. Each week, we looked forward to diving into the readings and discussing challenging questions. It always felt like a safe and supportive space.”
What we appreciated most was that Chia wasn’t afraid to address the difficult questions that many couples hesitate to ask. He consistently pointed our conversations toward the Gospel and what it means to live in the freedom we have in Christ. He has a natural coaching style and continually helped us better understand how God uniquely made each of us, as well as how to communicate effectively as a couple through life’s challenges.

Going through pre-marriage coaching with Chia was a valuable experience for us. We really appreciated the preparation he put into each session. We loved his authenticity and the way he shared wisdom from his own life experiences while keeping Christ and the Bible at the center of every lesson.
His openness made it easy for us to have honest conversations about difficult topics and make sure we were truly on the same page. We feel the coaching prepared us well for our first year of marriage and gave us a strong foundation to grow together.
