BIOGRAPHY

I have been a high level sales professional for over 28 years but my true passion in life is sharing with others so they may have the same benefits I have. I'm a creative at heart and there is nothing more gratifying than impacting someone in a profound and positive way through my writing and speaking. What you will find different in my writing is I dive into action steps that get you to a place where you don't worry about "The How." Everything comes from real world experience. I could not write about it if I haven't done it or experienced it myself. Our common bond as people is Adversi... ty, Challenge, and Struggle. We all go through it. In my writing and speaking you will learn how to:

* Go beyond what you know to learn what you don't

* Use action to sprout the seeds of thought

* Apply purpose as the fuel for motivation

* Understand the difference of a empowering perspective based on things happening for you instead of to you.

* Use the the struggle so it doesn't use you

* Unlock all the amazing assets inside you and build a portfolio to excel in the arena of life

Where were you born and where did you grow up.

I was born in Chicago, IL but grew up in Lake Tahoe, CA. My parents divorced at 10 years old and my mother moved me and my sister back to Chicago when I was in junior high

Can you tell us about your journey from being a high-level sales professional to becoming an author?

I have spent the last 28 years as a sales man in the medical device space. My personal story of overcoming extreme adversity as a child instilled strength and resilience inside me. I have always enjoyed sharing that story with anyone who crossed my path and found people would get inspired. During the pandemic I had broken up with my girlfriend and after a few months we began to communicate again. I wrote her 10 poems over the course of 10 days and read them to her on voice text every night. After 10 days we met and ended up getting back together and actually engaged. That process of writing sparked a fire inside of me to keep going. I started writing inspirational pieces and putting them on Facebook. after awhile I had done over 50 and my first book was born. The journey is far from over but I have come a long way and over the last year written a series of 3 books with my latest releasing on August 8th of this year. The third book in the series is an updated version of Assets of Inspiration with an audio book to follow.

How did you discover your passion for writing and speaking? Was there a specific moment or event that inspired you?

I have always been a creative at heart and as a sales man I speak with and listen to people everyday. Having a profound and positive impact on people is one of the most rewarding gifts you can receive in return. That purpose fueled my motivation to write and speak

What motivates you to share your knowledge and experiences with others?

The ability to ignite positive change in someone

How do you ensure that the action steps you provide in your writing are practical and effective for your readers?

The best way is to walk the walk and talk the talk. I do not write or speak about anything I have not done myself or are doing. My books are really my own personal playbooks for life. I know they work because of the results I get. I also know what doesn't work because I have made all the mistakes and learned from them.

Can you share an example of a profound and positive impact your writing has had on someone's life?

Just recently someone I know said my writing gave her that aha moment to see things differently and is now moving forward in the direction she wants to go in.

How do you balance your creative instincts with the need to provide actionable advice in your writing?

Be 100% authentic and always write from the heart.

What role does real-world experience play in shaping your writing topics?

100% in everything I write. I could not write about it if hadn't experienced it myself.

How did you approach researching and gathering information while writing your book, The Mindset Game?

Much comes from other authors in the same space I follow and have been inspired by.

While writing "Assets Of Inspiration", how did you handle challenges or setbacks in your writing process, and how do you overcome them?

The same way I handle any challenge or setback in life. Everything is a process and you have to just keep following the path. Understanding you will find a way or the answer will be revealed as long as you do not give up.

How would you define the "best version" of oneself according to your book, "Reveal Yourself"?

The best version of you is your true authentic self. You are not trying to be something or someone else. You accept the good and bad and most importantly are willing to look within to discover your gift. There is something special about you that only you have. Finding that is finding your purpose in life

In your book, "Reveal Yourself", you talk about the idea of looking through one's own eyes to find the best version of oneself. Can you elaborate on this concept and its significance?

The concept is that person is inside you already you just have to let them out. Embrace who you are and be willing to change or get rid of what is holding you back.

What advice would you give to aspiring authors who want to make a meaningful impact through their writing?

Just go for it and take the first step. Im still a ways away from where I want to be but I'm on my way and I won't stop until I complete my task. Be honest and authentic and write from the heart. When you can make an emotional connection with a reader that is where the magic is.

Is there anything new that you're working on?

Reveal yourself was just turned into an audio book and I started writing another book call If Not Now Then When.

      • I believe we all have a purpose and discovering what that purpose is can be life changing. I am very fortunate to have discovered mine and I do not want to leave this earth until I have fulfilled it.

        • That's beautifully said. I think discovering that sense of purpose gives real shape to everything we do. I'm glad you've found yours , it’s a powerful thing.
          My first book, Gilbert’s Gobstopper, came out in 1987.
          Since then, I’ve written across many genres, children’s books, adult novels, poetry, and even scripts for radio and stage.
          I’m probably best known for The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, which connected with readers around the world and won a few awards.
          Altogether, I’ve published over 30 books.
          I’m driven by a fascination with human nature and love telling stories that feel honest and deeply human.
          I always appreciate when someone takes an interest in my work.
          How about you?

          • Absolutely. The road of an author can be lonely at times. You wonder if anyone is paying attention. I have a sticky note on my Mac in my office that says. Become so good they can't ignore you. I love the creative process and regardless of how many it impacts I feel it my responsibility to get the work out there

            • I really like that mindset. Focusing on the craft and staying true to the work is what keeps us moving forward. That sticky note is a great reminder to keep pushing no matter what.

              You know, it’s funny… we pour so much heart into writing the book, only to realize that the real mountain begins when it’s time to actually get it into readers’ hands.

              How have you been handling that side of things? Because honestly, I’ve found myself asking tough questions am I even using the right strategies? Is there a better way than just throwing money at promotions and hoping for sales? That’s when I started rethinking the entire approach.

      • Yes but I don't look at it like that so to say. My advice is to never force anything. When you are in the flow just go and don't stop. When it's not there don't worry about it. Your next great idea will hit you when you don't force it

      • I have always been a creative at heart but it was not until 2020 I began writing inspirational pieces during the pandemic to lift others up. That was where my current journey started. I don't believe it could have happened any earlier because much of what I write about comes from personal experience. I believe I had to reach this point in order to share my story on a grand scale.

      • Stress about what? Always keep light hearted and know everything is a process. Struggle is part of that process. Amazing things come out of embracing struggle. There is also nothing wrong with stepping away and giving yourself some space to breath and gain perspective.
