About MeBorn in New Haven, CT, and raised in Manchester, NH with six sisters (the only boy), my mom and step-dad did a great job with us (it wasn't easy) and I am forever grateful for their love. The lessons I learned are with me everyday. When I was about 10, I became a huge ice hockey fan (Bobby Orr and the Big Bad Boston Bruins) and I played pick up games on the pond behind our house until we fell through the ice every spring, then we played street hockey and baseball. It was a lot of fun. After the early passing of a dear friend, I decided life is too short and followed my dreams at the age of 21 and moved to Sunny Southern California. It was quite a journey and an adventure. It was there that I first discovered the world of sales, marketing and entrepreneurship. After searching around and trying to start my own business (without any clue to what I was doing!) I went to work for a home improvement company and that led me to working for an advertising company in sales. During this time the owner and I started two related businesses, both failed (which was a blessing) within 5 years I ended up with my own direct mail business which I ran successfully for 12 years from my home (way before it was "ok" to work from home). While I always read a ton of books, I started listening to audio cassettes from the Nightingale Conant Corporation which accelerated and expanding my thinking. I still listen to their products now on CD though www.nightingale.com I guess I'm a perpetual student. I attended my first big name live seminar with Stuart Wilde, he kicked off an incredible journey for me. Excited by what I learned I went on an amazing, life changing seminar tour with people like Anthony Robbins, Jay Abraham, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra and Bob Procter to mention just a few of them. Having started in business so young, I became bored and started to look for new, more exciting opportunities and I decided I wanted to be a business consultant. After meeting a very successful guy named Scott Hallman we teamed up and launched a Business growth Consulting practice where I got to help businesses from around the world. It was a wild ride and I learned a lot. Then I broke out on my own and had the biggest success so far of my young life. I was introduced to Mac Anderson the Founder of Successories™ and Simple Truths™ Mac was launching his new gift book publishing company and when he showed me his newest title - I saw it in a new way and worked with him to turn The Dash Gift Book into The Dash Movie. I'm so proud of this project not because it was a financial success which it was but because even as I write this almost three years since we launched it. Someone is being inspired by it's powerful message for the first time! (The Dash Movie has been viewed over 40 million times!) It's changing lives daily...
If you have not seen The Dash Movie then take two minutes and click the banner above. It's truly inspirational and I know you will enjoy it. I've gone on to produce about 30 of these little movies for clients from all over the US and as far away as Norway! All are designed to inspire, uplift and touch the heart, which is a great way to play. I continue to evolve and explore new opportunities. Today my focus is on being myself and playing the role that brings me the most joy. I am a "Professional Encourager" and I offer my free newsletters as a starting point to help you live your dreams.
