As the eldest of three, with two younger sisters, I was raised in the NYC suburbs by grounded, hard-working, middle-class parents from The Bronx, alongside four inspiring post depression-era grandparents. My upbringing was steeped in Irish Catholic vibes with a dash of Polish spice, and paternal alcoholism manifesting through unhealed masculine energy. In early childhood development, I fortified a survival mechanism of hypervigilance, nurturing an intuitive discernment of others' core energy as a finely tuned empath.  

I stumbled along the way with undiagnosed ADHD, and became adept at finding ways to keep others on-balance to avoid chaos, often through people-pleasing and an obsession with overachievement. I captained most sports teams I was part of and led various youth organizations, even coaching adults going through religious conversion as a teenager. 

I earned a collegiate soccer-scholarship, moved from Queens, NY to San Francisco during the dotcom boom, and enjoyed an outwardly successful career in sales and revenue leadership across diverse industries like media, technology, agriculture, real estate, and eCommerce. 

I've intimately experienced imposter syndrome and accessed my self worth through extrinsic feedback rather than intrinsic acceptance.  I've spent years on the hamster-wheel of "doing more to have more and be more". I've experimented with dozens of fringe diets, workout routines and self-help frameworks to be a more productive, balanced, and impactful husband, father, leader, and friend.

Along the way, I did my deep inner work, embraced sobriety, tapped into the magic of adult ADHD (Audacious, Driven, and Hyper-Creative by Design) and now adhere to a steady diet of meditation, prayer, journaling and a variety of mindful spirituality practices that are just-right for me.

I’ve steeped myself in a collection of human development tools and disciplines including Jungian Shadow Work, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Internal Family Systems, Neuro-Plasticity, Flow States, Mindfulness Frameworks, Inner-Child Work, Epigenetics, Human Involution, and more.

I’ve been honored to coach individuals and teams across the spectrum of humanity; accomplished executives, strivers starting their careers, mid-career and mid-life seekers, entrepreneurs and seasoned founders building their vision, professional athletes, artists finding their voices, and more.

As a grateful father of three truly incredible humans, I've lived in NYC, Northern California, Palm Springs, Chicago and Las Vegas.  I've coached nearly two dozen sports organizations, and thrived through the other side of divorce after 20+ years.  I'm a serviceable pianist, have performed solo at an open mic night (gulp!), lowered my golf index from 25 to 8 in under 3 years, I trail-run like a mellow mountain goat, and my mind and body are attuned to a devotional morning practice that works just-right for me, right now!
