At 26, I was a Captain in the world’s most powerful Air Force ...
and I was miserable.

I felt dead inside.

I couldn't cry.

I couldn't laugh.

I could not feel my life.

This is my story ...

I live my life in growing orbits which reach out over the things of this world ...

Perhaps I can never achieve the last, but that will be my attempt.

I am circling around God, around the ancient tower, and I have been circling for a thousand years, and I still don’t know if I am a falcon, or a storm, or a great song.”

~ Rainer Maria Rilke

The road less traveled ...

The Dark Night Begins

In late winter 2001, just nine  months before 9/11, I separated honorably from the Air Forceas a Captain.

When all my military buddies were leaving for high-paying jobs with government contractors, I gave my things away and went walkabout into the world.

Just three weeks into my journey, late one evening while hitchhiking through northern Wales en route to wherever, I experienced a soul-deep emotional meltdown in an old phone booth. My whole body shook as a lifetime of pain I had buried so long beneath a mask of stone ruptured like an earthquake from my core.

As I wept and sobbed, I knew I couldn’t go back to my old life, yet I had no idea where else to go. I was utterly lost, with no idea who I was.

Walkabout

Over the next few years, I desperately sought to connect with Life as I backpacked across Europe, the Middle East, India and Australia.

I spent months living with Egyptians in Cairo who adopted me as their own brother and son. They stuffed me so full of bread, meat and water from the Nile that I got dysentery and prayed for a quick death. Soon after, I went to India where I lived with an oddly self-absorbed “holy man” who attempted to have me committed to an Ayurveda Hospital.

I roamed aimlessly across Australia, desperately seeking meaning amidst the dry, crusted Outback under stars like glitter sprinkled on black silk.

In late 2001, I made a spiritual pilgrimage to Auschwitz, the Concentration Camp in Poland, where, as I walked a lonely country road just 2 months after 9/11, a mysterious white ash fell gently from the sky upon me.

Realization & Return

In France I studied French with a career in diplomacy in view ... until I met a woman. I married her 5 weeks later, and after 8 months of wedded ignorance, she threw me out of our cozy Bordeaux centre-ville apartment.

That's when it dawned in me: I didn't know to love a woman ... or be happy, content, or grateful for everything Life had always given me.

So after 2 years wandering the planet, surviving desert bugs, capricious French women, and aggressive Indian gurus, I went back to the U.S.A.

I was exhausted, and finally ready to surrender my life to something other than sadness, desperation, and my own ego.

Finding My Center

I landed in Miami, licking divorce wounds, and went to work helping my father launch a new company. As a Senior Executive and International Spokesperson for a luxury timepiece which incorporated mind-body science tech, I was about to go on yet another adventure of a lifetime.

Oprah fell in love with our product, and in 2005, I found myself backstage after appearing on her show, teaching THE Oprah about mind-body science.

After helping grow our company from $0 to $50 million in sales in just 5 years, I grew weary and left for yet another adventure: Transformational Entertainment Artist Manager & Producer.

In August 2007 I was a watch company exec making $10,000/month. In September, my first managing a spiritual music band … I made just $25. But I was happy as ever.

Serving The Music of Soul

In 2009, I took conscious pop artists, Here II Here, on a 12-month tour of the United States and Canada, performing over 200 concerts in 33 states.

As their manager and a transformational events producer, I worked on projects featuring worldwide luminaries like the Dalai Lama’s Spiritual Advisor, the Oracle of Tibet, Eckhart Tolle, Deepak Chopra, Byron Katie, Marianne Williamson, Don Miguel Ruiz, Michael Beckwith, Deva Premal, Snatam Kaur and many more brilliant visionary teachers.

In 2012, I transitioned from managing businesses and projects to consulting artists, visionaries, and business owners.

This became my Professional Coaching practice.

Awakening to Love & Service

By 2014, having already coached over 130 private clients, I expanded to coaching couples when my blog went viral and couples around the world started reaching out for help.

Somewhere along my journey from military soldier to spiritual warrior, through the dank hells of heartbreak and despair, I slowly rediscovered the thrill of being alive, and the courage to fully live this wondrous life I was born for.

Today, I live in Los Angeles with my beautiful wife, Silvy, and our Golden Retriever, living my dreams by helping others discover and live theirs.
