Re-launching My Life

If you’ve ever wanted more out of life…if you’ve ever made decisions you regret…if you’ve ever hit rock bottom, I’ve been there. After spending over 10 years of my life focused on work and leadership success, I burned out…and almost lost my family in the process.

I had the incredible opportunity to reconcile with my wife and children, and I was welcomed back into my family’s home after 6 months away. Through a strategic process, I slowly re-launched my life…one intention at a time.

With a passion to help others experience a rich, meaningful life, I now share my story and experiences with passion, humor, and authenticity. I want to inspire you to choose a new normal and launch into the life you’ve longed for.

Enjoying a New Normal

I have chosen a new normal that includes more ‘living’ than ‘working’ – specifically enjoying life with my wife (Laura) and two children (Waverly and Emerson) in southern California where we live.

When I’m not speaking and writing, I run a marketing boutique that I started in 2008. I am also an avid photographer…all the blog post photos are captured by yours truly…no stock photos here. And, I could be considered a wanna-be interior designer and co-founder of our children’s home in India.
