I went from crushing it in corporate sales to realizing that real success is about alignment—living and working as the same, authentic person. Productive Learning opened my eyes to a world where personal growth meets deep, real-time transformation, and I knew I had to be a part of it. Since 2005, I’ve helped clients uncover their blind spots, shift perspectives, and make life-changing breakthroughs (often with a well-timed metaphor—I am the “Master of Metaphors,” after all). My job is to listen, challenge, and guide, but most importantly, to hold up the mirror so people can see themselves clearly. Outside of workshops, you’ll find me surfing, gardening, or just soaking up life’s adventures—because if we’re not enjoying the ride, what’s the point?
What’s one thing you used to believe but completely changed your mind about?
I used to think of responsibility as a ball and chain – now I see it as an honor and privilege and something I freely choose.
What’s a totally random skill you have that no one expects?
I am skilled at making jewelry and crafts out of things I find in nature (I have amassed a huge sea glass and shell collection from years of beachcombing!). A common Christmas gift request from family is “something you made”.
If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would it be and why?
My Grandfather who passed away at 101 years old – because he oozed love, appreciation and generosity and is a constant reminder for me of the man I want to be.
