ADDICT. HUSBAND. INMATE. CEO. ROCK STAR. HUMAN. Oh Yeah, I'm also a recovery life coach, published author, and professional speaker. I’ve been given many labels by others my entire life. At the age of 12 it was “class clown”. I’ve been called a jock, geek, rock star, and ladies man. And these labels don’t even scratch the surface of what some of those closest to me have called me.
From the time I was 12, I was drinking and drugging until my addictions brought me to my knees. To my lowest low. From businessman to thief. From sitting in an office to sitting in a prison cell.
In 1991 I decided I had enough pain and walked into my first 12 step meeting. This is when my healing began as I rode the roller coaster of recovery and relapse for the next 21 years. Finally, in 2012 I decided to throw away yet another label….Recovering Addict. It was time to discover what I really came here for...What was my purpose? What did all those years of pain mean? I realized that the mentors who helped save my life from addiction had fulfilled their mission and it was time to seek out new mentors for the next leg of my journey.
It was time to step out of the church basements and into the 5 star convention centers; move beyond just clean and sober into CLEAN AND SUPER. I’m here to shout it from every stage I stand on, in every coaching call I have, and every article I write – you are not someone else’s labels. Your whole life is still in front of you, regardless of your age. That is why I created Life Beyond Clean: Transforming Your Tomorrow.
