As we take stock in our lives and reflect as 2022 comes to an end it's important to find your reason for getting up every day and pursuing your goals.

My reason is Integrity..........

Show me your friends, I'll show you your future


Individual effort in life is important in success. But no one who is completely successfull does it alone. Who is your in your circle?

I was lucky enough to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right guys

It’s easy to get down when your vision of life is completely thrown off. But it’s also important to not quit when these times get tough. Even if it isn’t the greatest you’ve ever been, you still have to keep going. That is the only way you’ll get through the storm.

Never discount any of your past experiences. Embrace them, use them, and draw from them to get you where you need to go in the future.

Sometimes in life you think everything is working out the exact way it's supposed to and then you're thrown a curveball.

We all have to pivot and change direction in life, what's important is how you handle the aftermath.

My curveball in life was at Mendocino College in Ukiah, CA in 2007

Don’t forget, even if you’re focused on the NEXT thing, what you’re doing now is crucial in your life.

And quite frankly, a lot of times, MORE important than the original goal.

Life is about choices

Personal life or professional, we all make decisions based on the information we have. Only you can decide if it's right or wrong. Either way, the journey teaches and can be one hell of a ride.

My journey started in Yellowstone National Park not because I visited......but because I lived there.

Where did you start your story?
