I was raised in an abusive environment. I overachieved during high school and through my 20's, thinking that was how I could earn love and acceptance. That failed. I have been on a 40 year quest to learn to like and accept myself. I was a worldcup snowboarder in the late 1980's, started 3 successful companies in the 1990's, then traveled throughtout the middle east and southeast Asia doing philanthropy work.

I have been through too much adversity (much of my own doing) to list here; but, it has resulted in a "seasoning" that now affords me the opportunity to consult with brands, cultures and leaders, helping them operate with their hearts outfront. I help these people and companies find their true authentic self (brand) and attain sustainable success.

I have been very fortunate to have expat living experiencs in France, Italy, Singapore, and Israel.

I have evangelized that "marketing" is actually all about Social Psychology - tapping human emotions and creating pathways to like, align with organizations, brands, and people. Once aligned all things sales and revenue become possible.

Flawed deeply, I am hungry for continual learning, grow, and discover how the lessons learned in my life "seasoning" can be of benefit to others.
