ABOUT
To put it simply my story is about living a charmed life and simultaneously about a wounded child learning to navigate this Life as best I could. Born with a bilateral cleft palette my journey began in pain and rejection.
A few years after I was born my father died suddenly leaving my young mother to raise three young boys. Me being the youngest, I was a mostly feral child with minimal supervision doing my best to feel like I was ok. Like I belonged. Like I wasn’t just damaged goods.
As I grew into adulthood, anger and the need for control were the twins ruling my life. And ironically I sought out spiritual paths, starting with Eastern philosophy and martial arts. That led me to my Tibetan Buddhist teachers where I practiced diligently throughout my 20’s for a decade.
A profound dream altered my path towards the Native American way of life - traveling with a Lakota elder and his family for almost a year on the Pow Wow circuit and attending a Sundance held by Arvol Looking Horse in South Dakota.
Realizing that Lakota way of life while incredibly beautiful, was ultimately not my path. I had a young son at that time to support and it was time to leave the road behind and settle back into work mode. For many years afterwards I swore off searching and striving and just wanted to live a “normal happy life”.
One more failed relationship forced me to look at myself and the heartbreak I was going through and decided it was a life or death choice: keep living in shame and self-judgement and essentially just spinning my wheels, or fearlessly and honestly go deep into the beliefs and stories I had built around my life like prison walls. What I truly needed was to bust out of prison.
And a small little book serendipitously came into my life called The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz and was the hacksaw hidden in the birthday cake allowing me to saw through the bars of my own imprisonment and begin to be free. Really really free.
My journey 23 years ago after reading that little book has been nothing short of miraculous.
Graduating from don Miguel’s Master level 3 Year Dreaming program in San Diego, marrying my Beloved Meghan on top of the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan Mexico by don Miguel, his son don José, and many Dreamers, and moving back east to eventually create a 7 figure renovation business on the coastline north of Boston.
I can now be found in a very small town at the foot of the mountains on the Western Slope of Colorado with my wife Meghan and our two children Bodhi & Téa and two very large ranch dogs and two even larger horses. My oldest son Nick and daughter-in-law Erin live in Denver with their fluffy Samoyed.

And despite all that I have lived through, the pain, the challenges, the failures and the drama, I see my life as blessed…
So what changed? I’d love to share that with you as I feel uniquely able to address many of the inner struggles we humans get mired down in.
And I now devote my life to being in service assisting my clients to live their own particular brand of “this best life”.
