About me

I’m a meditation teacher, retreat leader, speaker, and father of four passionate about helping people navigate life with greater calm, presence, and emotional resilience. After spending more than 25 years in high-stress corporate sales and leadership roles, I shifted my focus toward teaching emotional regulation, mindful parenting, meditation, and breathwork.

My work is deeply rooted in personal experience — from parenting through anxiety, addiction, and emotional hardship to learning how to regulate my own mind during some of the most difficult moments of my life. Through meditation, sound healing, retreats, and speaking, I share practical tools that help parents, leaders, and families stay grounded during stressful times.

I’m also the author of Become the Lighthouse: Emotional Regulation for Fathers, Families, and High-Stress Lives, a book inspired by my journey as a father, husband, and student of mindfulness.

I got into meditation after going through a serious mental health struggle during the COVID pandemic. 

This was the result of not being properly diagnosed for with a high anxiety disorder in my teens which led to 30 years of addictive behavior to try and bring that anxiety level under control. None of it worked. I just found myself being addicted to one substance or another during that 30 year timeframe.

I was lost and didn't know how to pull myself out of the depressing rut I was in. Just like everyone else, I wanted to figure out what made me happy and then make sure I spent every single minute of my life trying to keep that mindset. I started reading a lot of books on Buddhism, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Eckhart Tolle and all of them had a common theme: meditation. Shortly thereafter I learned how to meditate and almost immediately saw some amazing results. Since it worked for me, I thought it might work for others as well so I decided to get my meditation teaching certification starting in 2022. Meditation has changed my life in so many ways - all of them positive. A calmer, happier existence is attainable and well within reach - one breath at a time.
