The day that changed my life and career more than any other was 9/11/2001. I was running late for work and a few hours later found myself running away from falling buildings covered in ash. A lot of my friends passed and our community in NYC was devastated.

At the time I was amid a great first run in my career, benefitting from ‘being in the right place at the right time’ during the first Dotcom bubble. I spent 3 years working at internet advertising giant DoubleClick and was well on my way to a successful and stable career.

Witnessing 9/11 changed my mind and my trajectory. I began asking myself different sorts of questions and sought self growth and personal development for the first time. I genuinely wanted to understand who I was and what my purpose was in the world.

This led me down a truly unexpected path and I’ve spent the last two decades as a coach, program creator and mentor helping people unlock the greater potential within themselves. I’ve been blessed to work with some of the greatest teachers on the planet and I love nothing more than sharing practices that deepen people’s sense of purpose, connection, and love.

While the challenges in our world are vast I remain an eternal optimist. As a podcast host, community leader and co-founder of ASCEND my role is to help people recapture the feelings of excitement, optimism and possibility that I know are the most powerful levers for genuine change.

As I like to say on our calls, Let’s Goooooo!
