About Me
I’m a curious, middle aged (60 is the new 40), seasoned wonderer, serial experimenter, creative, aging professional.
I am dedicated to helping people transform their mindset and live a life they love.
Years ago — as the ‘salt’ began to overtake my ‘salt and pepper’ beard, along with morning back pains, a thick waistline and a thin bank account — I took a good, hard, look at my life and found it wanting.
Wanting for…
- The energy I had in my twenties
- The creative urge that once prompted me to make art
- A job that provided fulfillment
- More income and less money worries
- A direction to my life
My life, up to this point, could be summarized in one word; ‘drift’.
- Without drive, I drifted away from my dream career when things got too difficult
- Without a specific career objective, I drifted from one mediocre job to another
- With a lack of energy and willpower I drifted away from any exercise program
- With a constant, low level feeling of anxiety, I drifted to the refrigerator, eating for comfort
- Without introspection, I drifted away from my art
I was surviving, but I was not living.
This was my reckoning.
It was time for a change.
Not a tweak. Not a quick fix to alleviate an immediate problem. But a deep change. A course correction.
So I started to work on myself.
I experimented.
Reading books, taking courses, listening to podcasts, watching videos, talking to people, all things self-help to learn the tools of self-regulation.
There was a lot of trial and error, but over time, I started to see patterns. Concepts and practices that were shared by diverse schools of thought.
I observed and practiced what worked:
- A retreat in a Buddhist monastery to develop a meditation practice
- A writing practice to document what I was learning
- Intermittent fasting and reducing sugar and carbs from my diet
- Implementing natural movement into my daily routine (No more sitting in chairs!)
- Regular ice baths
With the professional training and coaching tools I learned, along with physical experimentation, I was able to transform my mindset and see amazing improvements in my body, health, and career.
I now look forward to each day with excitement.
I now…
- Have my own business.
- Paint on a regular basis.
- Maintain the same weight I had in high school (I was a fit athlete).
- Have abundant energy and drive
- Have curiosity and experiment regularly
I am now living with purpose, expressing myself through my art, and giving back by helping others fulfill their dreams.
It is with gratitude that I inspire to share what I’ve learned with you.
