About Me

IMAGINE what this world would be like if the people living in it were living lives they love...

I am  a Connoisseur of Life, Making It Happen Specialist,  internationally trained Professional Coach, and Thursday Night Soccer Player. I am a world traveller, a foodie, and a magnet for incredibleness. More than anything, I am a dream maker and a resident thrillionaire (see www.thrillionaire.org).

Making It*Happen (*it defined by you)...For me, It* is about bringing back the human side to humanity, one smile, one encounter, one moment, one Make It Happen (MIH) Challenge/Opportunity at a time empowering and inspiring individuals to become Connoisseurs of their Lives. I invitee you to create your playground where you can discover, PLAY BIG, pursue the dreams you hold within, and most importantly master what it means to live and be fully alive.

I am equipped with a PLAY BIG mentality and my ability to transform concepts into everyday understandings and applications enable my clients to take their lives to new heights.
