Senior Producer & Director

Man Morning Founder | Author of Stop Living on Autopilot | Global Leadership Speaker

Six months ago, I lost everything in a California wildfire.

Our home. Our community. Life as we knew it gone in hours.

I didn’t rebuild with a 10-year plan.

I rebuilt one powerful day at a time.

That process became The 1-Day Method™,  an operating system now helping people around the world reset, refuel, and take back control of their lives.

Today, I deliver hard-hitting leadership keynotes for global organizations like Google, VISA, Booking.com, Little Caesars, and Lincoln Financial.

I speak to high-performers who are done living on autopilot. The ones ready to lead, not just survive.

I’m the author of five books, including The 1-Day Method™ and the international bestseller Stop Living on Autopilot.

Before this chapter, I spent 10 years in New York City as an award-winning journalist for NBC, PBS, and MTV Networks telling stories that mattered.

That instinct still drives everything I do.

My work has been featured on NBC’s TODAY Show, FOX, Forbes, and The Art of Manliness, and I publish Man Morning, a top newsletter that's a weekly check-in for men who lead at work, at home, and in life.

Personally: 

I've been lucky enough to live on both coasts (NJ and Cali) but I'll always be a Jersey guy at heart. I enjoy photography (have even done friends' weddings) and video games (huge Zelda fan). Oh and I'm a foodie - I can out eat my wallet which can be a problem.
