Early days: I started selling comic books at eight and opened my first skateboard shop at 15. I made friends with Tony Hawk and ended up behind the camera on the feature film 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 waves in Fiji and Indonesia and traveled the globe as a World-Record judge.

Maturing 35 – 50: Recorded three albums, got famous in Mexico, toured the US, Canada, and Europe with my Ska Band, started an advertising agency so I could have beer on tap in the office, and wrote the book on Creating a Better Life in Business. I moved to Costa Rica, became an advisor to Central American governments, got married again, and became a dad. I’m an optimist.
