What excites you in connecting with students?

I help people unlock their true potential. After years of searching for fulfillment in external achievements, I realized that everything I needed was already within me. Now, I’m passionate about helping others discover the same truth. I’m here to support you in strengthening your well-being, tapping into your creativity, building habits that create lasting happiness, and managing your emotions in order to turn your goals into reality.

What do you love to do beyond work?

A daily, morning ritual of exercise and taking time to appreciate nature, the ocean, and simple pleasures like a hot cup of coffee have kept me very grounded and happy for well over a decade, allowing me to be fully present in the enjoyment of time with my wife, daughter, friends and anyone I come into contact with.
