Laughing and learning

I wanted to teach people to live from distinctions that served me such as integrity, commitment and honor so they could wake up every day and feel inspired by the work they were doing.   Lastly, because of my upbringing and early entrance into adulthood, I learned how important it is to simply create joy […]

A personal commitment

From the very start, my commitment as a speaker wasn’t to become famous; it was to make a difference in people’s lives.   I wanted to take what I learned about limited belief systems, overcoming challenges, and the power of a positive mindset, and share it with others.

Then, the unthinkable happened

When I was fourteen, my father passed away unexpectedly, leaving me untethered in many ways and with a mom not really capable of effectively managing her own life, much less parenting a young teenager. She couldn’t cope with her loss and had a breakdown.   That left me to take care of the funeral arrangements. […]

The start and the struggle

Like many entrepreneurs, my story started with struggle. The kind that changes the way you look at life, people and your future.   In the early years of my childhood, my father wasn’t around a lot. It wasn’t that he didn’t love my mother or me, but there were circumstances that often prevented him from […]

What I believe

I believe that we are born into this world with endless possibilities in front of us and that we’re capable of doing more than worrying about ourselves and just surviving.   I believe that it’s in our nature to want to engage, serve, help and make a difference in other people’s lives.
