WHY?
I have always had a natural curiosity about people. When situations got volatile, it was never enough just to take a side, I always needed to know why things blew up in the first place. Probably so I could figure out how to use it later on
By the age of 39 I had been quite successful in many different businesses and real estate deals. I found myself living in my dream house, on a right hand point break, with a beautiful woman, semi-retired, and not a care in the world.
Three months into that chapter I was in a car accident that initially didn’t seem like a big deal. But pretty soon after, it became clear that the injuries were actually really bad. In a very short period of time I was physically unable to do the things that had made my dream life come true. I started to dig myself into a deep hole using any and all of my - what I know now to be - not-so-healthy coping mechanisms.
After pretty much destroying everything I had built in the material world, I started to destroy myself from the inside. Which pretty much left me not wanting to be around anymore. As lame as it sounds, it came down to a choice to either choose to DIE or choose to live. Living a conventional life was not in the cards for me. I have never wanted to live a conventional life and I wouldn’t even know how.
I’ll always remember the day I realized that my life depended on making a change.
For the last ten years I have immersed myself in some conventional and some, even more effective, unconventional ways of healing. This has been my way of getting back to being passionate about LIFE and living.
Now, I find my passion is to be spending time with people who can relate to this weird way of being. One that the NORMAL system finds hard to understand.
There are 7 billion different realities on this planet right now and I’m interested in working with and being around the Rebels, Misfits, Black Sheep, Orphans, and Scapegoats. These people often appear in my world as WORLD CLASS Skateboarders, Snowboarders, Surfers, Entrepreneurs, and Hustlers. These are my people and this is where I’m at right now.
what?
I have a hard time describing what it is that I do. How does one put a whole realm of possibilities into a couple of words? Maybe it’s the wrong question. Actually, for me, it is the wrong question.
Who do I want to be?
I want to be a person who works with people who choose to live with the full messiness of the human experience. That are willing to take resposibilty for themselves and create a life that I like to refer to as being free in the world. I do not think this is possible without delving into every aspect (money, career, health, relationship, nature, family, chaos) of the human condition. I believe humour, humilty and vulnerability are my strong suits and if you find yourself having a hard time making sense of this world. I might be your guy.
Mastery Consulting.
Mastery to me means accepting all things. Then learning how to navigate, through a practice of conscious choice, for the rest of ones life. I believe there is nowhere to get to, only the choices we make all day every day.
