Hint: It never was about me
I’m someone who has walked many paths, each contributing to the person I am today. My journey has taken me through diverse fields—from retail and military service to consulting and information technology. These varied experiences have shaped my approach to life and work, fueling my passion for project management, coaching, and turning ideas into reality.
But understanding who we are often begins with recognizing who we are not. I’m not a guru, nor do I have all the answers. I don’t claim to know what’s right for everyone. I’m on a journey, just like you—a journey of letting go of rigid identities and embracing the flow of life.
I’m far from perfect, and I’ve come to accept that imperfection is part of being human. I’ve faced my own shadows—anger, fear, desire—and learned that acceptance is a far better ally than shame. This realization has been a cornerstone in my path toward self-discovery and growth.
I believe in creating safe, trusted spaces where genuine connections can flourish.
I’ve always been driven by the desire to get things done and help others do the same. Whether leading teams or guiding individuals, I find fulfillment in facilitating progress and witnessing transformation. My background across various industries has equipped me with a unique perspective and a versatile skill set that I bring to every project.
I often find myself in deep conversations—with myself. While it might seem unconventional, I feel there’s more to these dialogues than just my own thoughts. It’s as if there’s a guiding presence by my side, offering insights and companionship.
I’m open-minded, a trait that’s led me down some unique paths. Perhaps, as we get to know each other, I’ll share the story of my “forest union”—an experience that profoundly impacted my perspective on life.
In the rare moments of free time, I find solace in hiking and dedicating energy to this site. Being in nature and working on Light and Love offer me a sense of meaning and contribute to my ongoing personal growth and happiness.
While inspiration isn’t a constant companion, I strive to make choices aligned with the path of light and love. To me, being “inspired” means living “in spirit”—making decisions that resonate with my true self and higher purpose. This mindset keeps me grounded and focused on what truly matters.
I’m passionate about assisting people in connecting with their authentic selves and making sense of this complex journey we’re all on.
