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.

There’s a certain trend that desperately needs to be reevaluated, redefined, or simply forgotten. “Doing your time” is the simple explanation of putting somebody through undue hard time/labor within the realms of a certain relationship; business, personal, fraternal or otherwise. Fraternities haze. Military forces habit and groupthink. Relationships guard trust. Over the past few years, […]

Earlier this year, I realized my mind was a dwelling place for negative energy and thought. There was a part of me that attributed it to the circumstances I was in, rather than the notion that my circumstances were a result of my thought. After revisiting Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill, and a few other books/articles […]
Sometimes you blink and wake up to find the day has gone by without notice. Other times, you blink and realize the past 8-9 months of your life have rushed past you at breakneck speed. One thing that has remained constant in the past year is the mentality that ‘every day gets better’. I was […]
Supposedly, it’s better to have ‘loved and lost’ than to have ‘never loved at all.’ It irritates me when people say “supposedly” with a “b” instead of a “d”. Moving on. I grew up under the influence of a belief system that cherished relationships and love that is supposed to last a lifetime. This concept […]
