About Me

I am what many would call a serial entrepreneur, but at my core, I’m simply someone who has always seen possibilities where others see obstacles. From the time I was four years old, breaking out of my basement bulkhead to sell clam shells to my unsuspecting neighbors, I knew I had a deep-rooted passion for business. That passion led me on a journey of building and growing over a dozen businesses—each one teaching me invaluable lessons, testing my resilience, and reinforcing my belief that entrepreneurship isn’t just about making money, but about creating something meaningful, solving problems, and bringing people together.

My ventures have spanned industries as diverse as business brokerage, holistic coaching, hospitality, and even automotive services for large fleets. With every endeavor, I wasn’t just starting businesses—I was challenging norms, identifying gaps, and bridging them with innovative solutions. Whether it was advocating for small businesses that traditional brokers ignored, finding ways to connect patients with alternative health options across the world, or uniting small businesses to compete against monopolies, my mission has always been about empowerment and transformation.

But something was always missing. No matter how successful my businesses became, I still felt a deeper calling. It took years of searching—through bar deals gone wrong, cross-country investments, and navigating the highs and lows of entrepreneurship—to realize that my true purpose wasn’t just in building businesses for myself, but in helping others build theirs.

That’s why I created The Yoga Entrepreneur Blueprint. This is just the beginning of something much bigger—a movement to bring real-life examples, invaluable resources, and authentic guidance to those looking to carve their own path in business. This initiative is about more than just theory; it’s about action. I’m here to provide not only motivation but also tangible tools—business plans, financial reports, state and federal documents, templates, networks, and know-how—to help you turn your vision into reality.

The Yoga Entrepreneur Blueprint is where I start, because yoga has been my anchor—my source of clarity, resilience, and purpose through all of life’s twists and turns. But my mission doesn’t stop here. I envision expanding this model to entrepreneurs in all industries, creating a hub of knowledge, collaboration, and support that extends far beyond yoga.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my journey, it’s that success is rarely linear. It’s messy, unpredictable, and often filled with setbacks. But those setbacks are simply setups for something greater. I want to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to build something from the ground up—not just the polished success stories, but the struggles, the lessons, the raw reality of entrepreneurship.

Now, here I stand—rooted in New England, with the ocean still calling to me, but with a vision sharper than ever. This time, I’m not just chasing opportunities; I’m creating them for others. I invite you to walk this path with me—to build, to learn, and to lift each other higher. Let’s break down barriers, share the knowledge, and open the doors to success for all who dare to dream. Because together, we don’t just rise—we redefine what’s possible.
