About
I’m an husband, step-father, activist, entrepreneur, teacher, student, and professional stuntman.
When I was 17 I joined the Marines. When I was 19 I started my own business. By 20 my annual income was near 6 figures. By my mid 20s I was 6 figures in debt.
Most of my 20s was filled with inner turmoil and deep desperation. I was past the point of depression.
What literally saved my life was the guidance of successful mentors, and the support of my wife. I read literally hundreds of books, attended seminars and workshops on personal transformation. I spent years, (and still do), reconditioning my mind and doing the [inner work] necessary to sprout the intended [outer results].
Applying concepts in personal development, martial arts philosophy and spiritual awareness has resulted in tremendous breakthroughs in my life. I gained the courage to face and tame my demons, (which I call inner dragons), and my life literally did a 180.
By my early 30s, I was a sales trainer and managing director of a large financial services firm. I helped build 2 successful martial arts schools in the U.S. and Canada. I became a professional stuntman, working on hit movies and television shows. I was involved in the production of 4 International Climate Change Conferences around the world.
My life went from [desperation] to [inspiration].
And it’s 100% due to constantly doing the [inner work] for self-realization and surrounding myself with a [support system].
We all strive for inner peace in the “Pursuit of Happiness”. Yet, so many of us live unfulfilled lives.
Find your true passions. Do something meaningful with something you believe in, and are willing to fight for.
LIVE a life of inner peace. LAUGH often and enjoy the present moment. LOVE All Beings, [and start with yourself].
What you’re looking for is closer than you think. Join me in the adventure of self-discovery, and be inspired!

You’re a dynamo! Just reading about you is inspiring! How come the parentheses around the main points? Typos or dead links?
Thanks for your comments. Some of the parenthesis are just to emphasize points. Some, not all, are links.
I am trying to cite your page for a paper I am doing in school and no where do you have your last name listed so i can list an author… help?
