About Me

We have one, remarkable life and I believe there’s an extraordinary group of people who want to use their talents and influence for their own growth and in service to others.

It’s been a journey I’ve walked these last 20 years, searching for the “magic formula” to find greater fulfillment in life and work. Except, it’s not magic. It’s a process rooted in both the science and art of shaping human thinking and behavior, including my own. This is my story of finding my spark!
