To learn, expand, and have FUN!

To empower and inspire others to learn, expand, and have FUN!

And...

To BE an Advocate for Well-BEing!

I am a recently retired Fire Fighter. (Retired before 50 years old!...Not bad, huh?!?!?) I am also a registered nurse...worked part-time in the E.R. for twelve years until I decided to take a hiatus from that five years ago to spend more time with my family.

Born and raised in Northeast Ohio...served in the U.S. Navy and worked in the financial services industry prior to my fire fighting career.

I am married to Donna, also a registered nurse...she is my soul mate! I love her dearly! (She's also the World's Greatest Mom!)

I have two wonderful children! Mark is eighteen and Melissa is seventeen. Parenting through the "teenage years" is a Total Blast! I'm Serious! :>)

Our family also includes two dogs, two cats...and a horse! (the horse doesn't live with us...we board him) I love living in a zoo! :>)

My passion is Freedom and Ease...empowering you to live a life of Freedom and Ease...especially around the areas of money, health and wellness, and relationships!

The shift in me...in my life...is Amazing!

I stand in the "Energy Stream" and Abundance flows to me easily & effortlessly! I attract like-minded people...and when I say that...I mean people who are leaders, fearless, positive, spontaneous, brilliant, creative, spiritual, and FUN! People who driven by their VISION and their VALUES! Together, we rise like eagles and fully appreciate our ever expanding horizon! I have connected with a bunch of great people from all over the world who have become terrific friends. I am having a Blast!! My creative power is unleashed! I write. I do public speaking. I play! I am a magnet!...a magnet for Abundance! I teach and empower others to create the life of their dreams.

And because of that...well, let me tell you about it...

Lived in Hawaii for nearly four years...Left to find my career and the love of my life. I suppose it can be said that "you can leave Hawaii but Hawaii never leaves you". At least that rings true for me. I'm a "flip-flops kinda guy" at heart. I'm back...and its as beautiful as ever!

Donna and I wake up to a beautiful Hawaiian morning. The sun is peeking through the window as the gentle trade winds move the curtains. The birds are singing their familiar song and...oh, that sweet fragrance from the flowering bushes and trees outside our window! The fresh Kona coffee smells heavenly as it brews and tastes even better as we sip away at it out on the lanai. We're just relaxing..taking in the beautiful morning. We make our plans for the day...

Snorkeling at our favorite spot! Its always such an adventure! As we head into the water, I am so aware of the contrast between the warm sun on my skin and the cool water. I wonder what fascinating "critters" we'll see as we glide through the crystal clear water...I feel so free as I explore the underwater wonders...

We lay on the beach and feel the warmth of the sun on our bodies. We talk about how awesome yesterday was...As soon as we heard the high surf warning for the north shore...we jumped in the car and raced up to check it out. It was spectacular! We grabbed a couple of sandwiches and some bottled water at the little beachside sandwich shop and sat on the beach for hours. On the way home from the beach we stopped at our "favorite place". We feasted on pu pu's. Donna had her glass of wine and I had my favorite beer. We finished the day sitting out on our lanai gazing at the incredible display of stars in the crystal clear sky. This is the ONLY way to live...at least for us!

The kids are doing great!

Melissa is living her dream of being a champion 3-Day Eventer! She competes at the highest levels and is in Huge Demand as an instructor at riding clinics all around the world. She trains and sells champion horses...and is TOTALLY immersed in the Equine World.

Mark is pursuing his love and passion of studying Anthropology and Archeology. He is well on his way to becoming one of the leading experts in those fields.

One of the most satisfying things in life for me is to watch the kids pursue their dreams and passions without any limitations...We are so blessed!

A new day and a passing rain shower as we're sitting on the lanai. No need to run for cover...the rain is so warm and gentle that we just sit there and admire the beautiful rainbow over the lush green mountains...

We feel healthy, vibrant, and full of energy!

Oops! I almost forgot...I need to take care of my "work". I so much appreciate that "my play is my work" and "my work is my play"! Aren't computers and the internet amazing!

Now...what were we going to do tomorrow??? That's right...head down to the beach to do some sea kayaking!

But, one more thing before tomorrow. The sunset!

Donna and I make our way to the beach by the little cove. There we sit on "Our Rock" and watch as the big reddish orange disk sinks slowly towards the horizon. It casts its glow...painting the clouds as only the Creator can. Man!...we feel connected! We feel so alive!

Living the life of our dreams!

And...we make the world a better place through our support of The Smile Train!
