I am a senior agency marketing and management executive known for my ability to create and develop national and international business models, manage sales teams and position products for explosive growth through creative marketing.

My core strength in leading operational management teams and fostering strong relationships for clients in myriad industries has led me to amazing success in my career.

My current specialties are motivational leadership, wellness retreat centers, real estate models, and strategy and brand management consulting. I am currently working on creating several for-profit and non-profit wellness and recovery marketing models for both national and international expansion. I also own a yoga company and a restaurant supply house.

I am finishing an associate's degree in addiction counseling this month and starting a master's degree program at Boston University in September. I have 2 beautiful boys aged 16, 13 and 11.

Titles. Good identifiers, yes. But, very often, they try to pigeonhole us and confine us to a column, a row, or a box—and too often... they succeed. As I grow in this life as a father and a man, I am finding it harder and harder to pick a job description of my life's work from a drop-down menu. And my life's work has just taken a hard-left turn at the corner of change, hope, and opportunity. Life has truly become a three-way street.

And yes, in a world filled with conformity, I've got the descriptors to go with my former "titles"...

I am a "marketing and sales 'pro' with an ability to create and manage international marketing campaigns, sales teams, and position products for explosive growth through project management and... I also have a proven track record of strategic branding, creative conceptualization, and motivational leadership; blah, blah, blah—yes, while all of that is true and I cringe to think I wrote it for someone else and not for myself—there is no checkbox or dropdown for what I do now.

I love it when the power and energy of people come together through osmosis and synergy. It happens most clearly for me when I am feeding people at my restaurants and engaged in thoughtful discussion. I have designed and owned several restaurant concepts both in the United States and in Costa Rica. I've marketed hospitality companies there as well. Now, the art of hospitality, when truly executed, can open the heart and the mind to the most awe-inspiring conversations and examples of human sharing. I've seen it.

So now I am taking these marketing and hospitality skills and rolling them in the ‘flour’ of inspiration, carefully kneading together the ‘dough’ of personal connection, catching a healthy euphoria from the wondrous smells of the spiced vanilla extract oozing from the souls of others, and rolling them out onto the warm, welcoming cutting board that is my new passion—Mind and Body Wellness and Life Coaching Living Programs. I call it "MySoulAgenda." (Homage to Stephen Colbert...)

Mostly, though. I am just a pretty cool dad of 3 beautiful boys from Brooklyn who is loving this life and has a lot to offer.

Nice to meet you.
