Along my path I’ve discovered a personal mission to connect the head, heart and feet. For me that’s thoughts, feelings/spirit and action, both within myself and others. The Men Living organization is one way I’ve embraced as a way to live that mission. I look forward to more connection, sharing the gifts I have and receiving the gifts you have to share.
I have called the suburbs of Chicago home my whole life, with the exception of 8 months in Orlando FL. working for Disney as a “good friend of” Captain Hook, Goofy, Woody… and more” I now call Berwyn IL home with my wife and tabby cat. I studied human services in college, and my path took me back to my family business my dad started over 40 years ago. I’m now the owner of Superior Awards & Promotion, an awards and branded products company. I take pride in running a business with good values and it’s challenging. In 2021 I co-founded a business support circle that supports its members to define and create success. This group is a mix between interpersonal work and business development. My personal growth work started at a young age and honestly I’ve been sidetracked multiple times, I tend to learn the hard way. I’ve been in some dark places, and I had support finding my way through them. I have some outstanding teachers, mentors and facilitators helping me with my work. I strive to spread the gifts I’ve received and that I continue to receive with others. I’ve developed an eclectic approach on doing so that is always evolving.I was raised by a single mother and I met the man I now call dad when I was in 6th grade. I was adopted at the age of 32. My parents will always be my greatest teachers.
