about me
here & now
I’m a student, teacher, and storyteller of life on purpose.
I uniquely combine my years of experience in startup ventures with my certifications and trainings in psychology and mindset coaching in my consulting work to help ambitious people play at a higher level.
Through my diverse travels and experiences, I seek to capture gems of timeless wisdom and combine it with timely knowledge to share practical messages that allow others to live with more purpose, joy, and gratitude.
My photography and writing have been published in a number of major media outlets and I’ve shared my stories on many stages including TEDx, Fortune 100 companies, and schools and universities around the world.
I’m fascinated in exploring the link between everyday life and transcendent possibility, and how we can make daily life the most spiritual practice of all.
I love Sunday morning writing highs featuring black coffee and my favorite pen almost as much as I love laughing with my friends until we cry.
student-teacher philosophy
I like to consider myself a professional student-teacher. I learn from life’s various adventures and experiences, apply the lessons to my daily life and business, and then teach others how to optimize their own potential. Learn. Integrate. Teach. Learn. Integrate. Teach.
my favorite life highs
(in no particular order)
The moment when the runner’s high kicks in
Crying from hysterical laughter with friends to the point legitimate pain
Sunday morning writing flows featuring black coffee and my favorite pen
The moment when the dots connect and you realize how something that seemingly happened “to” you really happened “for” you
The feeling when thoughts become things
Adventurous moments that stop you in your tracks, rock you with awe, and leave you filled with gratitude for the gift of being alive
Singing “shalom alechem” around the Shabbat dinner table with friends and family after turning my phone off for a 24 hour digital detox.
The boomerang effect from expressing gratitude and giving to those in need
Burying myself into the warm sand after getting absolutely rocked by the ocean
The passion in someone’s eye when you uncover the thing they’ve been waiting for you to ask the whole time.
