Sacred Story
My life changed when my then wife left our family and I had custody of my two young daughters. In order to become a full time, single parent, I left my very successful 25-year career as a high-tech executive, moved to another state and acquired a new business so I could be home to raise my daughters. Raising two daughters as a single father was both the most challenging yet the most rewarding experience of my life. They impacted me far more than I impacted them. They taught me how to listen; to understand that they did not want me step in and fix things, but rather to talk about and validate their feelings. I wrote and self-published five books based on true stories of life altering events.
When my youngest daughter graduated from college, I sold my company and dedicated myself to helping people and their organizations thrive both personally and professionally. I started a weekly radio show called Life Altering Events focusing on people and organization who have been through an event that dramatically altered their life. My goal: if I can help just one person or organization avoid the land mines that I stepped on, then I have made a positive contribution.
