A bit more about me:

Currently I live in Stockholm, Sweden, where I work as a writer and creative consultant. The easiest way to explain my area of focus is “the mass improvement of mental health,” but I could just as easily say, “personal development,” “self-help,” or “mental and physical well-being.” They are all, in their essence, the same concept.

Throughout my life I’ve had a range of other challenging, meaningful, and exciting jobs—but few have been all three. I worked as a professional scuba diver in Thailand, an ambulance driver in L.A., and I served for nearly six years in the U.S. Coast Guard. But none of these can compare to the mix of joy, difficulty, and freedom I have found using my ideas and creativity to make a living.

What else? I grew up in rural Washington State, in a town of less than 2,000 people; I have a degree in journalism from Pepperdine University; I am engaged to a woman of spectacular warmth and beauty; I love reading, yoga, coffee, travel, and the great outdoors; and I’m also working on my first book.
