About Me
Born 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).
Having started in business young, I
became bored and started to look for new, more exciting opportunities.
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.
Positive
News Network, Inc.
I am also the founder of the World's first
Positive News Network
and my
daily messages reach tens of thousands of people in over 140 countries
each week.
My biggest Life Lesson is "Your Thoughts Create Your World" and that
your attitude is everything. If Positive Thinking leads to Positive
Action then Positive Results MUST show up. My mission in life is to
share this information with as many people as possible through PNN the
Positive News Network.
My Positive News Network
Dream
PNN - The Positive News Network was born in my head about 12 years
ago. It all started with a couple of very good questions from Napoleon
Hill's classic "Think & Grow Rich". Mr. Hill ask "What goal is worthy of
your life? Even if you were never monetarily rewarded for working on it
what are you willing to trade your life for that would be a benefit to
your fellow man?"
Now, prior to picking up "Think & Grow Rich", I had just finished
reading "It Ain't As Easy As It Looks" a biography of CNN Founder Ted
Turner. It described the start of CNN which was a revolutionary idea in
news programming. CNN invented our 24 hour news format. I know that
Ted's journey really inspired me.
At the time the first Gulf War was launched and I was gripped by the
coverage. I started to watch more and more news and it all seemed to be
filled with the worst of human behaviors, war, murder, robbery, rapes,
violence, hatred, crime and corruption. I knew instinctively that this
negative coverage was not fair, balanced or healthy long term.
I'm not sure exactly when but it hit me that my mission in life is to
create an alternative source for news that would focus on all the
Positive News, in fact I named it on the spot PNN - The Positive News
Network.
My goal's are to focus on the solutions to the challenges we face,
celebrate the good, positive events that happen daily, highlight the
hero's among us who daily strive to make the world a better place.
I started the Positive News website over 10 years ago, today we
provide thousands of people in 150+ countries with Positive quotes,
stories, news and resources to make their life better.
