Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am a Happiness Coach, I have written 2 books, You Choose Your Path and 50 Ways to Strengthen Family in 50 Days (an unpublished ebook). I am starting my 3rd book, Happier Connected because I have lost 4 family members to suicide and I feel strongly about sharing tools and resources to positively change lives. I have been married 30+ years, we have 5 children and 15 grandchildren.
As a professional speaker and trainer, I teach people how to elevate their happiness, strengthen their relationships, increase their positive interactions and find a sense of greater purpose and meaning in every day life.
The Workplace Power Hour is one of five programs that I’ve developed and is coupled with The Family Power Hour. Books I have written include, You Choose Your Path, 50 Ways to Strengthen Family in 50 Days, and coming soon, Happier Connected.
I have worked with Microsoft, Fathers and Families Coalition of America, written for International Focus Magazine and been endorsed by leaders from JetBlue, BlueZones, and Child and Protective Services.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
You Choose Your Path, was inspired from a journey overcoming adversity with my family living in a 1 room rustic cabin with an outhouse in Alaska. We knew we needed to get ahead and bought a used limousine and grew a ground transportation company into national award winning limousine company. My book shows a transparent and humorous and intimate view of the inside world
of an entrepreneur which may have you laughing and crying. Be careful WHAT you wish for. Sometimes we think if we achieve this or that, THEN we will be happy, but you might miss the boat on what brings us the greatest joy!
