I’m no guru or yogi that has found the key to life or some nirvana, but I have had the opportunity to surround myself with some amazing people who have supported and encouraged me to seek out my true purpose in life. We all have a true calling or gift and I find that we are happiest when pursuing it. My purpose is to help others find theirs.

Some Background
I grew up in Los Angeles, California where I picked up my favorite hobby, Surfing. The ocean is my place to get focused, find more clarity, and conquer my inner fears. My parents always made sure I was well taken care of and provided me with so much more than they ever had growing up. I was a “good kid” stayed out of trouble for the most part, and went to school with passing grades. Growing up, my only struggles were how to be cool and fit in. Then the real life challenges began. What should I study? What will I be in life? Who am I and how do I live a fulfilling, happy life? Luckily, I met my best friend and married her. She continues to inspire me with her creative talent and powerful beingness. Like fire and water, we compliment one another bringing balance to an ever-changing landscape. In retrospect, that does seem to be the key to life. Creating balance in this topsy-turvy world we live in.
Accomplishments
Let’s be real for minute. Life likes to throw you for a loop, test your faith, your integrity, and resolve. We all have our own story of how life chewed us up and spit us out, but I struggle to acknowledge my own trials and tribulations. Maybe it’s because I don’t like to dwell on the past and it’s very uncomfortable, but here are a few of my most memorable hurdles.
I’m piercing a vile with a syringe and drawing up the liquid hormone, then painfully jabbing the fatty and muscular parts of her belly, back, buttocks and thighs. I do this repeatedly on an exact schedule for over a week straight. After 3 failed pregnancy attempts, it’s an understatement to say that our marriage hit some major challenges early on. No matter how much intention we had, it became clear that children were just not in the cards for us.
After 17 years of working in the family business I found myself stressed out, unhappy, and just frustrated in general. I questioned my place in this world and how I would make a difference. The love and empathy I got from my parents was over-run by the struggles we had at work. For a better part of my life, I tried to earn the respect of my boss and completely lost sight of the father I had. I finally woke up when I almost lost him in a horrific accident, and from that day on I chose the love of my father over the respect of a boss.
I regrouped and turned a corner by working on myself physically, mentally, and spiritually. I believe the body, mind, and spirit all work together to create your reality. When I started taking full responsibility for the condition I was in and got clear on what I really wanted, things started to fall into place. It’s a process of realization that starts with your thoughts, involves interrupting patterns, and creating new intentional ones. I got focused on my goals, handled my “meaning making machine” of a mind, and continued to work on my core values.
Life is a game, and if you have the opportunity to surround yourself with an amazing team, you can learn and experience so much more. Personal growth has to start with you, but you don’t have to go it alone. It would be a great pleasure to work with you on creating your ideal life. Take action now!
