In 2001, I found myself lying in a hospital bed, unable to move any part of my body. In just 3 days, I went from a very capable athletic man to living in a lifeless body, with a mind full of fear. All my life I believed I was greater than my parts and used that power throughout the next year, to teach myself how to walk out of that room, out of a fearful mind, and walk into a new life.

On July 27th, 2012, my world came crashing down once again, while walking on a beach with my best friend and 3 children. The sand collapsed under our feet, throwing us into a current, and fighting for our lives. With my daughter on my back, I struggled with all my might to reach the shore, only to watch my best friend Brad take his last breath before a small wave washed over him and he was gone. It was that experience that left me broken again. In the days following Brad's death, I vowed I would tell all that would or would not listen, Brad's story, in order to save others. For the next 5 years, I yearned for Brad's forgiveness, only to come to realize that it was my own that I was searching for.

Today, I tell these stories as triumphs, teaching others that all their limitations, their failures, their sicknesses, their losses, their addictions are just there to show them the door to their own greatness. Instead of looking at themselves as victims, I strives to empower people, so they realize their own potential and how powerful their true selves really are. I show them they can take their worst moment and turn it into their greatest gift.

In the last thirty years, I have built a very successful construction company that has afforded me the time and resources to fulfill my true passion in empowering others in their own lives. I use my life experiences as tools to teach others how to overcome themselves and to be greater then they think they are.
