Reflections on Another Year: The Pieces Are Here
Yesterday was my birthday, and if I’m being honest, I don’t feel like I’m where I need to be. But at the same time, I know I am exactly where I need to be—right here, right now.

For about 15 years, I’ve had the vision of building a business where I help people navigate big decisions in business and strategy. I’ve dipped my toes in, starting a successful karate school, writing business plans, helping friends launch ventures. I’ve spent years working with investors in real estate, guiding businesses as a commercial real estate agent, and consulting on construction and investment projects for companies like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed.

Looking back, I realize that all of it—every job, every deal, every mistake—was training for what I’m supposed to be doing. The common thread? Communication, creativity, and professionalism. And to be real, I learned a hell of a lot more from my missteps than my successes.

Now, I’m stepping fully into my path: helping businesses make strategic moves. It’s exhilarating, but also intimidating. Even though this is the culmination of everything I’ve done before, this time I’m doing it on my own. But the world is already sending me glimpses of success—I just have to keep building, keep refining, and keep showing up.

The biggest challenge I’m working through isn’t about tactics or knowledge. It’s about holding tight to my convictions and trusting my strengths. The path forward is about letting everything I’ve gathered work in concert—getting out of my own way and letting it all flow.

So as I step into another year of life, I’m realizing: I don’t feel like I’m where I need to be—but I do have all the pieces. Now, it’s about putting them together with clarity, confidence, and momentum.

If anyone else is feeling this way, I’d love to talk about it. Let’s catch up soon. Thank you!

Hello Everyone!

I’m really looking forward to connecting with like-minded, quantum-shifting, reality-bending individuals. I’ve been on a path of deep personal and professional transformation for a while, and I love conversations that explore growth, alignment, and stepping fully into the lives we are meant to live. This is a space where those kinds of exchanges can thrive.

I come from the world of business strategy, but not in the traditional, rigid, “hustle at all costs” kind of way. My work is centered on holistic business pivoting—helping entrepreneurs, creatives, and change-makers align their professional trajectory with who they truly are, what they genuinely need, and how they want to show up in a world that is shifting at an unprecedented pace.

Business, at its core, is an energy exchange. And in a time of rapid evolution, old structures are crumbling while new ways of doing business—ones that honor purpose, fluidity, and conscious decision-making—are emerging. That’s the space I work in. I guide people through business transformation that not only makes financial sense but also feels deeply aligned with their soul’s path. I love helping people fine-tune their message, restructure their offerings, and create sustainable strategies that work with their natural strengths rather than against them.

Over the last 30 years, I’ve worked with CEOs, creatives, and entrepreneurs across multiple industries, navigating high-stakes decisions that don’t just affect the bottom line, but also shape the entire direction of their lives. In those conversations, we inevitably touch on personal growth, spiritual expansion, and the art of trusting oneself in the face of uncertainty. That intersection—between business and self-evolution—is where I thrive.

But I’m not just here to talk business. I’m here to listen, exchange perspectives, and tap into the collective wisdom of this group. I believe in synchronicity, right-place-right-time moments, and the magic that happens when we share authentically with people who understand.

I’d love to hear from all of you.

The Music Is the Message

I’ve never liked being introduced as a DJ. Not because I don’t love playing out—I’ve been doing it for 33 years—but because DJing is just a medium. Like words, like painting, even the way you do business. It’s a tool for self-expression, for telling a story, for sharing something deeper than sound. And there’s so much more to me as a complete human—DJing is just one of the ways I express myself.

When people ask me, What do you play?—I don’t love that question either. Genres don’t define what I do. My set isn’t about house, soul, hip-hop, punk or funk. It’s about feelings. I play joy. I play pain. I play anger, nostalgia, triumph, sorrow, healing, inexplicable movement, and unspeakable connection. And when the right sound meets the right moment, it creates a ripple—one that spreads through the room, connects people who may never have spoken, and shifts the energy into something bigger than the sum of its parts.

I don’t just play records—I communicate. I both create, and crave that reciprocal conversation with the entire room, the freedom to share vibrations both ways. I was playing a 7 hour vinyl set at a venue- and the bartender walked up and said that one of the songs I played was really sad & he felt it... Carole King, "So Far Away." ((When you have a longer set, you can express more range, comfortably)). Music isn’t just something you hear; it’s something you feel. It brings you to places you forgot you needed to go. It cracks open the walls you didn’t realize you built. It reminds you who you are.
...and oh yes, that was indeed me—driving by you with Mary J. Blige on full blast, windows down, not paying attention to my destination.

Bottom Line: Music is a dear medium to me. It has brought me my closest friendships, my greatest lessons, and my most powerful reflections. It always comes first. And if you have a medium—whether it’s music, writing, building, speaking—express yourself deeply. Own it. Push it. Share it. That’s the real art, no matter what the medium is.
