I believe that physical challenges create opportunities for personal growth, self-knowledge, mental fortitude, and connection with others. Over the years, I have tackled a variety of challenges with one aim in mind– to push myself and lean in to the discomfort. While not always enjoyable, I cherish these experiences.

A FEW ADVENTURES:

  • Money is not my motivator; positive change and multifaceted value creation excites me
  • I am weighed down by tedious, repetitive, and meaningless tasks
  • I am relational over transactional; I am wholistic in my approach to life and business
  • Autonomy, independence, and self-expression are required for me to thrive
  • New ideas strike at random times - in nature, the shower, or when I am alone

idiosyncracies

  • Building deep, meaningful, authentic relationships:    Fun + Love = Connection
  • Rich, stimulating, experiential, and fulfilling life journey
  • Personal development and growth; empowering others to seek the same
  • Recreation, connection with nature, and contemplating life
  • Being kind, generous, playful, and a student of life

personal interests

  • The Big Picture: exploring possibilities, intersections, and new ideas
  • Service: value creation for leaders, individuals, families, and communities
  • Being a resource: connecting dots between ideas, themes, people, and industries
  • Conscious Capitalism: operating ethically, serving all stakeholders, and pursuing profits

A BIT OF personal HISTORY

I was born and raised in Phoenix, AZ. I married my high school sweetheart in 2003. We had our daughter in 2005 and our son in 2009. In 2015, our family moved to Truckee, CA to pursue a slower pace lifestyle. We wanted to raise our kids in the seasons, near water, and in the mountains. This was a life shifting move for us.

I love being a Dad and having a life partner to build my life with. My wife and kids motivate me to learn, grow, and be present. They all do a great job at holding up a mirror to show me where I fall short and where I am doing well. I am forever grateful for their feedback.
