ABOUT ME
A full-time, divorced, single father of 4, I'm also a Certified Life Coach and Health Coach. Using what's been described as a colorful style and folksy wisdom, I help families and individuals navigate the post-divorce landscape, overcoming the devastation so they can confidently rebuild lives and relationships that are happier, healthier and more whole.
​
Creatively, I've spent over two decades as an independent writer, story developer, marketing consultant, creative director, and messaging guru across the entertainment, self-improvement and health and wellness industries. A Producing graduate of USC’s School of Cinema-TV, my quiet work creating media for groups such as the FOUNDATION FOR A BETTER LIFE and the company born of THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE continues to positively impact millions.
​
Emerging from my own 5-year-long divorce journey with lessons, skills, and inspiration to share, I chose to finally step into the light to observe a commitment I made to myself in the darkest hours of my divorce: If I survived, I promised to pay it forward by uplifting and mentoring others on the same path.
