About

In short, I'm a father, husband, cancer survivor, recovering alcoholic, author, speaker, authorship guide, and professional ghostwriter serving executives in tech, finance, human capital, and healthcare.

In the throes of simultaneously battling addiction and big, scary, dangerous, rare cancer, I found a form of personal development I have yet to match: authorship. We create the book, and in the process, it creates a better version of ourselves.

Away from the page, I spend time with my amazing, smart, and beautiful wife and our two rambunctious boys. Luckily, our house is still intact.

I also co-founded a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising money for cancer research that will surpass $1M in donations this year. Fuck Cancer, Stay Positive.
