RUINED FOR ORDINARY…

Most people have one life. …or maybe two- their “J-O-B” and the rest of it. I am blessed to wear multiple skins. …’ all at once. Acquaintances know me through one of my skins, and are often quite surprised to hear of another life that I lead, and then another, and another.

The fact of the matter is that I live an extremely rich life. Through significant professional and personal accomplishments, I’ve been able to creatively launch my passions and contribute positively (I hope, mostly) to those I’ve served, to those I’ve loved, and to those with whom I’ve shared a common goal.

I have a passion to learn, love, grow and share in a way that impacts the lives of those around me. It’s my intention that my work adds value to your business or inspires you personally.

At my core, I am a

Renaissance man.
