Palm Beach, Florida

Hello again, good friends, girlfriends, and Happy Birthday to me! I have been the proud owner and Captain of Piece of Work for about 4 great and adventurous years now. This journey has been a challenging learning experience, a labor of love, a life-saving lifestyle, a dedication to my Dad, the honorable Naval Officer, my Mom, the best Navy wife ever, my friend Jimmy Buffett, who inspired me to conquer this dream and to all of the Captains and friends along the way that showed me by their actions that the nautical community is made up of the finest people I have had the honor to know.

It is at this point in my journey that I have made the decision to step away from the Helm and become a Land Shark, once again. This new Chapter in my life has been inspired by my days aboard ship, which has turned dreams into realities. My Master Plan is ever-evolving and 2009 is already showing results that have been "imagineered" some time ago.
Stay tuned to this website, as I will continue updating it with my latest adventures...on land, in the air and on the water. You will read stories about my thriving Sales and Leadership Training, Motivational Speaking and Performance Coaching business, the continued emergence of my YOU, Inc. Book, Products and Training, Performance Coaching for Indy Car Champion Helio Castroneves and Team Penske, Performance Training projects with Sir Richard Branson, Flying to new ports of call as the Co-Pilot aboard the flagship of Anglo Airlines with the legendary Captain Graham Whitfield, part-time Captain adventures on the water, playing Polo with world-class players Luis Escobar, Nacho Figueras and Rodrigo Salinas, Rowing competitively once again for the Palm Beach and Miami Beach Teams, Singing in a rock 'n roll band, and Surfing + Margaritas with Jimmy Buffett.
It is no secret that we are facing hugely challenging times. Regardless of how we got here, remember it is up to us, the Entrepreneurs and hard working individuals to blaze the trail back to our thriving USA that still rules the World. We are America and we will thrive once again, and stronger than ever. My wish is for everyone to dream big this year and enjoy the rewards of the grand pursuit to achieve your unique and powerful potential! 

As Jimmy Buffett would say: "If we weren't all crazy, we would just go insane!" And I say, "When life hands you limes, make margaritas!"
