About Me

This site collects my thoughts on business, personal development, politics, marketing, philosophy, health, money, relationships and more. I hope it helps you consider life’s possibilities and inspires you to create meaning and impact.

After growing up in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, I went to University of Dayton and then completed my studies at University of Southern California. After enjoying my 20s through the ’80s in Los Angeles, I moved abroad to live & work in Mexico City from 1994-2012. During that time, I taught English, freelanced as a magazine columnist, started a website design business, led a men’s health non-profit organization, and organized the first international TEDx among many other jobs. In 2012 I returned to the US but married in Mexico City a year later and then moved to Atlanta in 2014. Learn more about my journey plus reflections, essays, and stories on my blog.

I’ve always been enthusiastic about technology’s ability to spark creativity, collaboration and progress. In addition to my current role as Product Manager at AT&T, I’m the Founder of Mango Digital, a web publisher of online communities, services and sites.
