Your San Miguel Host

When I was 22 years old, an astrologer studied my chart and exclaimed, “Oh, my! You’re going to be known for excelling at all kinds of things! You’ll need a business card for this specialty, a business card for that specialty…” Her words couldn’t have been more accurate. Over the years, I’ve embraced a life of exploration and achievement, proving that with passion and focus, we can excel in ways we never imagined.

I’m passionate about the life I’ve crafted for myself, and I love helping others embrace the courage to create the lives they know they were born to live. Empowering people to break through their perceived limitations and step boldly into their potential is at the heart of everything I do.

Professionally, I’m known as a dynamic instructor and workshop presenter, with a career that has taken me across all 50 states, to prestigious universities, and even to the White House, where I’ve had the privilege of sharing my insights with staff.

My journey as a serial entrepreneur has been as varied as it is fulfilling. I’ve built multiple businesses, including GoNaked Travels, a men’s clothing-optional travel group that combines adventure, connection, and personal growth in unique and meaningful ways. Along the way, I’ve coached individuals to redefine their success, reminding them that “success does not have a timeline.”

Through my work, I’m dedicated to helping others see that their potential is limitless—and that their unique path to success is worth pursuing.
