Experience
My passions are the wild mountains and deserts and spending time in them backpacking, snowboarding, writing and simply enjoying the beauty. Any other free time is spent researching , reading, earning continuing educational units (CEU) and certificates regarding anything to understand or improve the world I live in and the mind, body and spirit.
Immersed in the world of extreme sports and diverse mountain racing, my early adult years were spent as an elite athlete learning how a strong mind, body and spirit makes all the difference. Throughout my adult life, I have created and grew many successful small businesses.
But my world suddenly changed when I was hit hard and suddenly with 3 chronic pain diseases. Only after I frantically threw thousands and thousands of dollars at the issues and received few answers and even less actual improvement, did I learn the many keys to improvement.
I continue to learn, read and research about diet and nutrition, holistic health, environmental, social and public health issues as well as neuroscience, particularly cognitive and affective, behavioral economics and physics, philosophy, noetics and many other diverse, interesting and enlightening subjects on the cutting edge of science and integrative spirituality.
With all of this experience gleaned and information grokked, I am now compelled to help others walk forward into their future.
