After years of relentless pursuit, driven by what I believed epitomized the very definition of success, I found myself at the lowest point in my life. I had achieved the societal markers of financial prosperity, a thriving career, entrepreneurial accomplishments, and athletic feats. I was blessed with a loving wife and three wonderful children. We owned a comfortable home in Marin County, just north of San Francisco, California as well as investment properties in neighboring Sonoma county. From the outside looking in, it appeared I was winning at health and at life.
In actuality, I was burnt out at work, battling depression, anxiety, and struggling with chronic pain. On my daily emotional rollercoaster, I silently wondered if this was the inevitable reality of growing older.
After years of following experts and copying ‘proven’ strategies, I had become a person I didn’t want to be and was confused and lost in envisioning a future that promised anything but more of the same.
I reached a turning point when I finally admitted to myself that something was profoundly wrong with my approach to living a fulfilling life. I had been in self-denial, and it was time to turn this on its head.
Over the next few years, I sought guidance from medical and psychological professionals, and explored diverse behavioral treatments, including chiropractic care, personal trainers, acupuncture, sensory deprivation tank therapy, yoga, meditation, and more. I delved into the current wisdom of business leaders, as well as prominent scientists in neuroscience, exercise science, cognitive science, psychology, and biology.
After making significant progress, my wife unexpectedly faced a deadly cancer diagnosis that, yet again, caused me to shift as I navigated a new normal of daily life. I navigated these challeges by using the strategies I had cultivated over the years and after major surgery and treatment, my wife is back to health and back to work.
Looking back, I recognize that each approach I explored offered valuable insights, but none provided a solution. The medical, exercise, business, and scientific professionals I learned from operated within their specific areas of scope/expertise, prioritizing their own services or ideas rather than providing a comprehensive, client-centered solution. Their focus was on addressing specific problems or issues rather than nurturing the holistic well-being of the person.
To reach my best self, I had to distill the most valuable lessons from each experience and learn how to apply them selectively, based on the person I wanted to become. What was once unknown and seemed magical and out of reach is now my daily reality.
In the years that followed, I transformed my delicate fragility into a rock-solid foundation. With my renewed focus, I have since completed life coaching certifications and specialized fitness & exercise certifications while continuing to learn, train, practice, and implement behavioral change techniques. I now wake up each day with agency, excitement, purpose, and gratitude for the life I lead.
An ecology of practices. Ultimately, I have come to understand that it was the collection of intentional, progressive, and process-focused strategies that held the key to unlocking and achieving my lifelong goals of optimizing for physical, mental, social, and emotional health.
As a coach, I am dedicated to assisting others in applying this knowledge to their lives, empowering them to create the life they want to experience and love.
