My style of life design has been intentional and consistent. I am a collector of experiences, fueled by curiosity, hungry for fresh perspectives. Constantly seeking ways to broaden my horizons and add variety to my life’s resume, I jump at the chance to see new places, try new things, and learn as much as I can through active observation.
Meeting “strangers”, breaking down barriers, and finding ways to connect with people is truly fulfilling to me. Doing so helps me increase empathy, enhance social versatility, and do my part to send the message that we are not alone.
I am passionate about travel, both domestic and global. The world has been my classroom, and planes have been my school bus. My goal is to maintain a ratio of at least 1:1 countries visited to years old, see all fifty states, set foot on all seven continents, and perhaps some day even venture into space.
I am passionate about personal development, spiritual practices, building community, and random acts of kindness. Being of service has been a main theme throughout my life, and a pillar upon which my future is being built.
As an athlete, a Marine veteran, a coach, and a counselor, I have learned the importance and nuance of working in teams.
As a student, a teacher, an entrepreneur, and an international businessman, I have learned the value of education, cultural sensitivity, and the ongoing pursuit of new perspectives.
The depth and complexity of life’s toughest lessons have made me who I am. Those learned through love, loss, compassion, war, failure, perseverance, achievement, regret, remorse and forgiveness, have provided the building blocks and mirrors needed for growth. They have illuminated my shadows, exposed my ego, and humbled me to my core.
I once saw a commercial that asked, “If you wrote a book about your life, would anyone want to read it?” The way I am living mine, I believe so. At the end of the day, I’ll certainly enjoy reading it back through, and I'm nowhere close to done writing yet!

The purpose of this site is to provide a place to stay connected and share ideas, with the goal of propelling us towards expansion, service, and greater awareness.
I greatly enjoy meeting new people and learning about their unique journey through the human experience. No two people are the same, after all. Yet, for all our differences, for all the variety within our ranks, I believe we have much more in common than not.
The bond of similarity, paired with the dimension of diversity, provides a dynamic opportunity to create new collective expressions capable of influencing and inspiring us all to become more than we ever thought possible.
We can have the best of intentions, but without action our well wishes may not amount to much more than just that. I want to do my part to serve as a conduit between people who may otherwise not meet, to stimulate conversations that may otherwise not be had, and to provoke change that may not otherwise occur.
I’m not looking to save anyone or change the world, but let anyone who visits my little corner of the universe go on to tell of a place they felt safe, sacred and seen.
To reach an initial 500 people who are seeking genuine connection with other heart centered, action oriented, open minded, curious souls. Together we are sharing ideas, collecting resources, developing strategies, and planning events all dedicated to personal development, connection, and community building.
This group is meant to bring men together to discuss a wide range of topics in order to learn from each other as we all navigate our own personal path of self discovery. The goal is to foster a confident, heart-centered, growth oriented mindset as we face the inevitable challenges life presents. We bring together those seeking community, connection, personal growth, confidence, and overall empowerment to acknowledge their authentic selves and pursue a more fulfilling and purpose driven life. I invite you to join, share, and connect with other men on this journey of exploration, expression and expansion.
Pronounced (ore-oh-bore-ose), this ancient symbol represents the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. The ouroboros symbolizes the eternal return and the unity of all things. It signifies the idea that endings lead to new beginnings, forming an unbroken, continuous loop. In alchemy, it reflects the cyclical nature of transformation and the interconnectedness of opposites. Philosophically, it embodies the concept of self-reflexivity and the idea that the universe is in a constant state of renewal. Overall, the Ouroboros is a powerful emblem of perpetuity, regeneration, and the intrinsic balance of the cosmos.
As I change and grow, so does my community. I am a firm believer that a stranger may just be a friend I haven't met yet. When I think about some of the most important people in my life, I am reminded there was a day before we met. This keeps me open to new connections, and wondering who I will meet next.
I am committed to the process of consistent improvement by learning new skills, gaining new knowledge, and building healthier habits. I focus on setting goals, seeking self-awareness, and implementing positive changes to achieve personal growth and fulfillment. Areas of emphasis include emotional intelligence, relationships, career development, physical health, and spirituality.
The human body is the greatest technology ever created. We have only begun to scratch the surface when it comes to understanding the true capabilities of our terrestrial vehicles. The capacity to perform seemingly miraculous acts exists in each of us. I believe the body’s unrealized potential can be activated through a combination of ancient techniques and modern medicine.
We don’t know what we don’t know, as they say. Travel provides the opportunity to illuminate exactly that. We enjoy the exhilaration of leaping into the unknown, the the sense of meaning in a serendipitous encounter, the appreciation for something we may have taken for granted, and so much more. We don’t see the world as it is, but rather as we are. Thus, when traveling the world changes us like it does, that in turn changes the world within which we live!
As Walt Whitman famously wrote, “The powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse”. Journaling can empower you to gain self-awareness, manage emotions, set and achieve goals, solve problems, unleash creativity, and preserve memories. It's a versatile tool that can support your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Your life is a one of a kind story. Don’t let it go untold!
We don’t know what we don’t know. Thus, the way we grow is by opening ourselves up to receive new information and input that expands our field of knowledge. The human experience is not new, and many have made the effort to put pen to paper in order to pass on what they learned. Sometimes we can apply these lessons straight away, and sometimes they serve to unlock something within that is unique to us and our personal situation. Either way, reading is the catalyst and literature is the vehicle that ushers us from who we think we are to who we can become.
Art is boundless, characterized by an ever changing subjective definition. How it’s intended, how it’s perceived, how it’s delivered, and how it’s received, differs with each passing witness in each passing moment. Its influence ebbs and flows, but always persists, like the creative tides along the shores of the heart and mind. Some would even say there is nothing that is not art. To that I would say, indeed
A picture may say a thousand words, but there are no words for what some pictures can say. Capturing a moment in time brings our focus to both it’s detail and fleeting existence. This reminds us of our own impermanence whilst residing in the eternal now. Pictures evolve as we do, for we don’t see the world as it is but as we are.
The power of music lies in its ability to transcend barriers, evoke emotions, promote healing and well-being, preserve memories, foster cultural identity and connection, inspire creativity, facilitate communication and social cohesion, and stimulate physical response and movement. It enriches our lives in countless ways and holds a unique and universal significance in human experience. It adds color to our message and rhythm to our lives. Music is the signature of the space between.
