Meet the Author

As a child, I'd been confused. My Mom had always told me I could do anything I wanted. I could even be president of the United States.

That was mildly inspiring, and I'd always done what I was told. I got decent grades, a diploma, and a good job. 

I worked hard and was a good employee, team member, manager, and husband. 

Despite college, grad school, professional certifications, and a great job, I'd been passed over for promotions four times in three years. My brother told me to do something about it or quit complaining. It had been five years! 

I wasn't a complainer: I was a man of action with multiple degrees and a home by a lake... Wasn't I?

So why was I miserable?

I was frustrated and burned out from too much overtime, leading large teams and driving $millions in revenues and cost reductions for some of the best businesses in the world, including PNC, Dun & Bradstreet, Best Buy, IBM, Accenture, Deloitte and Oracle.

EVERYTHING MADE MORE SENSE when I reconnected with my personal vision and clarified my direction in life. I turned my career and relationships around and restored my work-life balance when I committed to creating a plan and leading strategically.

I devoted my life to creating a world that works for everyone by helping mid-career knowledge workers clarify their purpose in life and execute their strategic plans. 

I've created a community of mid-career knowledge workers living purpose-driven lives by building and executing their strategic plans. 

My Honey Bunny, Lori, and I tour for weeks at a time on our tandem bike, and we're gearing up for months-long tours soon.
