Cultivating growth in people, businesses, and agriculture.
I’m Ranger Kielak—a coach, consultant, and UC Davis ag grad based in Half Moon Bay. I help farmers navigate regulations, entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses, and professionals find clarity in work and life. My approach is rooted in regenerative agriculture: tend to what matters, remove what doesn’t serve you, and trust the process.
Change begins with you.
WHY THIS WORK
I help people and farms thrive.
My mission is to help people and businesses grow sustainably—whether that means navigating regulations, building a business, or finding clarity in your own life.
Everything I do is rooted in the principles of regenerative agriculture: tend to what matters, remove what doesn’t serve you, and trust the process.
In 2024, I walked 2,642 miles across America—from South Carolina to Los Angeles—and learned firsthand what it takes to keep moving when the path isn’t clear. That journey shapes how I coach: growth isn’t linear, but it is possible when you stay grounded and keep taking the next step.
How I Can Help
Agricultural Consulting
Pesticide compliance, regulatory navigation, and business development for California farmers. I work with the UC Merced SBDC and Valley Sierra SBDC to help agricultural operations stay compliant and grow sustainably.
Workshops & Retreats
Hands-on experiences where personal growth meets the land. Using my G.R.O.W.T.H. Framework, I lead half-day and full-day sessions on farms and in nature—solo or in partnership with other practitioners.
Business Coaching & Consulting
Strategy, structure, pricing, and growth planning for small business owners and entrepreneurs. Practical, grounded support through the Renaissance Center, SBDC, and private engagements.
Speaking & Podcasting
Engaging talks on resilience, purpose, and regenerative thinking—shaped by my walk across America and years working in agriculture. I also produce podcasts that tell the stories of farmers, food systems, and local businesses.
Life Coaching
1:1 and group coaching for professionals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unclear on their next steps. I help you gain clarity, build confidence, and take meaningful action—at work and at home.
Hi! I’m Coach Ranger
Rooted in agriculture. Focused on growth.
I’m a UC Davis graduate with a background in agriculture, education, and business development. I’ve spent years helping farmers with pesticide compliance, supporting entrepreneurs through the SBDC, and coaching professionals through transitions.
In 2024, I walked 2,642 miles across America, raising over $8,500 for charity. That journey taught me what I now teach others: lasting growth starts from the ground up. Tend to the roots, and the rest will follow.
I host three podcasts—The Foggy Farmer, South of SF, and The Never Peak Project—and I’m active in business and professional communities across the San Francisco Peninsula.
