My entire life has been shaped by my bipolar nexus point: what led to it, what it was like when it owned my ass, how I beat it and what came next.The ride has taught me a few things:1. I'm apparently unkillable (so far, anyhow)2. I possess staying powers most do not3. I have a way of looking at life that helps me solve issues others get stuck on4. I love having a good time with those I care about most5. I see life as bountiful and plentiful but understand nothing is just handed to me6. People seem drawn to me for wildly diverse reasons7. And people hate when I leave their lives8. I thrive on learning about the unique, the eccentric, the outlandish 9. I can fit in anywhere but never stay long10. I get paid on the value I provide, not the hours or effort I put inI'm not here to play small. I am looking for others who feel the same. I thrive on helping people like this the most. Along with my stellar beard, I bring perspectives not many others possess. This has allowed me to conquer some of the worst life has to throw at us. And I love taking all I've learned and helping others do the same, in as many categories as I can find.

Peer Specialist with Dutchess MHA is my day job. But it is only the latest in a list of over 50 jobs I've held over the past 40+ years. There's very little under the sun that I haven't done, outside of C-Suite positions. I'm a Seeker, never satisfied with any position for long. It's allowed me to amass an incredible amount of knowledge, experiences, wisdom and perspectives. Whatever you might be going through or trying to achieve, I have at least some valuable experience with it; enough so to comfortably coach you. I promise.
