Pesa and his wife Whitney have been married for 22 years across two different cultures.

He built the United Front in his own marriage before he had a name for it and spent years turning those lessons into a framework other couples could use.

Background
Pesa brings 23 years of healthcare experience as a nurse, a career built on staying calm under pressure, reading situations clearly, and making decisions that protect what matters most. He applies those same instincts to marriage coaching.
Pesa is the lead author of Questions for Couples, Questions for Diverse Couples, 52 Prayers for My Marriage, and Live Your Best Marriage. His writing is direct, practical, and rooted in lived experience not theory.
The United Front Blueprint
Pesa created The United Front Blueprint, a framework that helps cross-cultural couples stop letting outside pressure divide them. Instead of fighting each other, couples learn to face in-laws, cultural expectations, and loyalty conflicts as one unbreakable team.
The framework lives at United Front Marriage and is the foundation behind everything Pesa teaches, writes, and coaches.
Live Your Best Marriage
Live Your Best Marriage is the brand Pesa leads. Through the blog, books, and coaching, he helps cross-cultural Christian couples build stronger, more unified marriages with faith at the center and a clear plan for handling outside pressure.
