Bio Highlights
Early days: I started selling comic books at the age of 8 and opened my first skateboard shop at 15. I made friends with Tony Hawk and ended up in front of and behind the camera on Police Academy 4. At 19, I was manufacturing and selling skateboards internationally, and by the time I was 25, I had created the largest Canadian snowboard brand in the world.
My hot-shot years 25-35: I sold the snowboard company and lived like a millionaire. I got married, divorced, produced radio, film, and television, and set a freediving record for holding my breath for a really long time. I surfed epic Cloud Break in Fiji, went bankrupt, and became a World-Record judge.
Maturing? 35-50: Recorded three albums, got famous in Mexico, toured Europe with my Ska Band, Wrote the book on Creating a Better Life in Business, and started an advertising agency so I could have beer on tap in the office. I moved to Costa Rica, became an advisor to Central American governments, got married again, and became a dad. I’m an optimist.
Now: My job is to cut through the crap, challenge limiting beliefs, and offer better ways to find success. When not engaged with clients, I surf, fly off mountains, and jump up and down with my guitar in front of people.
