I could tell you of my adventures… Life continues to provide a plethora of experiences I never thought I’d see in my lifetime. Pushing the limit, exploring new places, people, opportunities, heights, lows, depths and ideas. The power of the human mind is beyond marvelous; it’s the secret ingredient everybody has been looking for. And […]

“My life is in the hands of any fool who is able to make me lose my temper” One of the things I’m most thankful for is that anger/temper has not been a huge struggle for me. A large amount of this is due to observation and instruction from my father/grandfather/great-grandfather. Three different generations, each […]

I woke up this morning with a voice in my head.  A bodybuilding motivational track was on repeat. “Forget everything in life. What are you playing for? What’s your passion? What’s your prize?” I couldn’t get these questions out of my mind as I stepped into the shower, took buddy for a walk and came […]

I recently watched a documentary about Nikola Tesla; world-renowned scientist, visionary and inventor. He seemed to have lived many lifetimes in the course of his own life; great seasons of success, public recognition, failure, scorn, recognition and refusal were all dealt Nikola with no-holds-barred intensity. He went through periods of intense seclusion, feeding nothing but […]

On my website has been the phrase “Committed to success through integrity and innovation” for several years. One might find it odd to mix a technical term, such as ‘innovation’ with a more heartfelt word, like ‘integrity’. I believe the two of them to be equally important to each other.
