ABOUT

MY LIFE’S PURPOSE

To inspire and guide over-achievers and visionaries to illuminate their purposeful pathways, empowering them to become transformational leaders who change the world.

EMPOWERING MY LIFE

At 7, while my older brothers chased glory on the football field, I chose a different path — martial arts. Yet, as a teenager, I found myself lost, searching for meaning in all the wrong places using everything outside myself to escape myself — alcohol, drugs, sex, and money. As the pain became greater than the change; I wanted more out of myself & life and started looking. At 22, everything changed. A chance encounter with Bikram Yoga unlocked a raw, untapped power within myself. Bikram Yoga showed me everything I was looking for outside myself was inside me and got me higher than anything else in my life.

Sobriety became my new addiction, and I've been clean ever since — 24 years and counting. As I moved from transformation to self-actualization, I committed to mastering every aspect of myself — physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, sexually, professionally, financially, and socially. My journey led me to embrace Tantra, deepening my connection with myself and others; Quantum Physics, enabling me to create my reality; and Regenerative Medicine, optimizing my health. Along the way, I achieved spiritual attunement through the Sacred Plant Medicines, enhanced my presence through Hyperventilation Breathwork, balanced out my internal systems, mood, body, sleep, and energy levels through HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy), and so much more. I've spent decades mastering this way of living and now have packaged this to share with the world.

My journey of self-reengineering has been shaped by a global network of healers, practitioners, and thought leaders, studying under premier MDs, scientists, gurus, yogis, and indigenous healers across Asia, Europe, and Mesoamerica. The wisdom and transformative knowledge I've gained from them has inspired me to pay it forward, offering one-on-one and group coaching focused on mindset rewiring, personal brand development, health optimization, and wellbeing sequencing. My holistic approach, refined over decades of prioritizing lifestyle, health, and aging goals, integrates fitness, nutrition, innovative regenerative treatments, spiritual and emotional transformational work, creating a well-rounded way of life. This journey has been the driving force behind my real estate development, luxury hospitality, and lifestyle experience design.

TRANSLATING INNER MASTERY TO OUTER SUCCESS

Mastery of my inner world naturally extended to my outer achievements. As a distinguished real estate developer and lifestyle innovator, I bring a comprehensive skillset to our multifaceted expertise. After culinary school, I initially focused on developing and launching restaurants and lounges, which in turn led to hotels, resorts, and residential communities. Today, I excel in collaborating with visionary thought leaders in real estate, finance, hospitality, wellness, and concept creators such as the early founders of Rosewood and Viceroy Hotel Groups, finance titans TPG, Hillstone Restaurant Group, ESPA, FutureBrand, 8 Inc, along with an extensive network of other industry leaders. My proficiency now extends across various areas, including vision questing, design & development, capital sourcing, marketing & branding, networking, team alignment, and communications, all underscored by a commitment to executing sustainable and experiential developments. As a lifestyle and wellness innovator, I excel in identifying marketplace opportunities and setting trends as a design and concept trailblazer.

After decades in hospitality, real estate development, and investment, my career has culminated in a new PARADIGM — a platform born from years of personal reinvention and lifestyle fine-tuning. This approach is designed for Empowered Living. It’s my life — a lifestyle agenda that integrates all the necessary resources, tools, services, technologies, and networks to activate, elevate, and automate every aspect of your life. This is now an online learning and coaching platform. In the future it will integrate with residential living environments in South Florida designed to support community making, collaboration, wellbeing and higher learning with the goal of impacting as many lives as possible.
