50% Technologist. 50% Philanthropist. 100% Inspired.

I was very lucky to be born to two loving and supporting parents.  They always encouraged me to “Do What You Love”.  It was this encouragement that allowed me to have such high levels of happiness and achievement in my lifetime.  Whether it be the opportunity to dance with Kaba Modern or following my dreams and working in the field of Technology Consulting.  These two particular experiences allowed me to grow into the person I am ready to be today.  Through dancing with Kaba Modern, I learned the value of hard work, determination and the importance of discovering your natural aptitudes and applying deliberate practice to excel to the next level in your craft.  Through working in the field of Technology Consulting, I was able to hone my problem solving skills, learn to be a better communicator, and master the art of optimization.

It has always been a dream of mine to start a non-profit that helps people.  Since 2002, I have wondered, “How can I use my talents and knowledge to most effectively help people?”  I reflected on my own Quarter-Life Crisis, when I graduated from college and pondered “What am I supposed to do now?”  In 2011, after many attempts and mistakes I was able to define a clear goal of helping aspiring young adults to realize their full potential.  Thus, the non-profit organization Be Your Greatest Self was established.  This organization allows me to utilize my lessons and wisdom collected over my lifetime in search for life’s meaning.  This knowledge applied along my experience as a consultant made the transition to coaching a natural next step.  It is my hope that I can help as many people within my reach to live out the mantra of “Be Your Greatest Self”.
