My Bio
I have held leadership positions in a variety of different organizations over the past 30 years including AT&T, Lucent Technologies, two tech startups, and a charter management organization (CMO) in the areas of finance, business development, marketing, and operations. For the past 10 years, I operated a consulting business focused on providing financial services to educational organizations and small businesses.
More recently, I shifted the focus of my consulting practice to professional business and life coaching obtaining my CPCC Professional Coaching Certification from the Co-active Training Institute (CTI) and my Professional Coaching Certification (PCC) from the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
I earned my BA from the University of Wisconsin, Madison in Computer Engineering and an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley.
More about me…
I lived and worked in Japan for many years, doing marketing and business development for AT&T and other international companies while learning Japanese, practicing Zen meditation, martial arts, and yoga.
In my early 40’s, I suffered a severe back injury. During the subsequent two years I spent healing, I got divorced, changed careers, and completely re-oriented the priorities and focus of my life.
I became a massage therapist for a while. I deepened my meditation practice. I ran marathons. I travelled the world. I got involved in personal development, the Mankind Project, and relationship workshops. I developed my financial consulting practice in a way that allowed me to spend regular quality time with my two sons. I wrote and published a book based on my divorce experience entitled “The Good Divorce – how to consciously create the best possible outcome for you and your family.”
In August of 2021, I realized a life-long dream when I moved to Maui with the love of my life where we live happily off-grid in the jungle with a panoramic ocean view. Two of our favorite new activities are snorkeling with the turtles and kayaking with the whales!
