I was 12 years old and could not have been happier as I climbed the one hundred steps from the river dock to my house, only to learn that my older brother had tragically died while serving in the U.S. Army. It was just one of the defining moments in my life. My first book was released in 2009 and was a finalist in two book awards. I will be releasing my next book, “Happiness Solved, Climbing One Hundred Steps” in the winter of 2020. I became a Certified Life Coach in 2004 and I am a Professional Speaker, retired U.S. National and International Figure Skating Coach, have a B.S. in Business Management, and I have been helping people create lasting change in their lives for over 30 years. Helping people has become my life’s purpose. 

Several years ago, I answered the phone and heard, “I was in an accident and two people are dead.” For me, this was yet another defining moment. Facing death has been the underlying theme of my life and the catalyst for my never ending search and desire to learn how to maintain a sense of peace and happiness. This is especially true during times of stress, uncertainty, and chaos that we all experience in today’s world. I can help you create lasting change in your life so that no matter what you have gone through and no matter what your daily struggles are, you can learn how to get back to a state of peace and happiness. From the moment I learned about my brother’s death, I began my quest to get back to that place of happiness I felt at the age of 12. I can help you get back to that place too! There is no guarantee how long you have left. Your life will pass you by in a split second. How do you want to spend every day while you are still here? Life is too short to delay the climb!
