About

I was born in 1960 to a pair of extremely dedicated parents; both working hard everyday – honestly and with integrity – to make sure the needs of their family were met.

My story is a complex one, maybe only because I have yet to figure it all out. I have lived a very full life – one full of color and distinction – all a part of my own journey leading me to where I am now.

My heart has always been for others. My passion is to build in other’s lives and help in moving them to a place they truly desire to be. Peace is something I strive to attain in my own life, and seek to bring that same peace to the rest of the world.

Looking back over my life, it seems I have lived several in my brief amount of years. My intent since youth has been to leave behind a most colorful portrait of memory and experience. In doing so, I have left a trail full of both peace and destruction at different times. But I have lived full, and drive to continue in the same manner.

I am very relationship oriented; not in a simple and superficial way, but intensely deep. I am always looking deeper into a person than what they present on the surface. I seek to know what is truly inside of them and how I can help to bring it closer to the surface.

During the past fifteen years, I have increasingly focused my attention and energies on helping to build people – to move them to a place they already know exists within them, but fear moving toward it. I have done this with speaking, writing and personal attention. I have written plays with a certain target audience in mind and taken them to several places in the U.S. to perform. This has all been done free and for the purpose of drawing the better out of people.

My purpose on this earth is to facilitate growth in others. Not from a program I develop and seek profit from, but from the depth of each individual. We each have our own place of being, we simply fear the path, or are blinded to it by so many outside influences and forces. My call is to bring you to your own path and help show you it is not only safe to travel, but also most rewarding.

Live Life! And live it to your inner potential...the one you have probably hidden away in a dark corner because of limits others have placed upon you. Go for it! Live well and be courageous. Fear nothing and seek your passion.

I am married to Gina, who is my support, love, encouragement, and rock.

I have three children, Kara, Christian, and Kalie, each of whom I love unconditionally and with all my heart.

I have four step-children whom I have grown to love fondly and find amazing potential in.

I have learned through standard education, much reading and personal study, and most greatly by stepping outside of the box as a life-style. This has not always been easy and has brought some pain at times, but looking back, the risk has been worth it.

Many have influenced me along the way. Here are some in no specific order.

Dad and Mom – Ethics and character (which I have not always succeeded at but am progressing)

Grandpa Skala – Self-Study (he read tons)

Granpa Schaal – Kindness (no bad word could be said about him by anyone)

My three children – For their perseverance in life. It amazes me. (details purposefully left out)

Peace to you each and all.
