Zen's Personal Story
My message? Awaken purpose. Align action. Live fully.
There was a time when I thought success was about control, strategy, and perfect execution. My early career spanned aerospace project management, corporate consulting, high-stakes event coordination, and major construction stakeholder team building—fields that demand precision and leadership.
Yet, beneath the surface of these structured worlds, I felt an undercurrent of something deeper calling me: the power of connection, intuition, and transformation. It was a constant companion as I navigated life, yet hard to explain. It got better over time and with decades of exploration.
My journey to becoming a transformational guide began with radical curiosity and vulnerability. Adopted as an infant, my early life was shaped by a profound sense of searching—seeking to understand me, my origins, and creation. I found the ‘voice’ inside as a result. The more I discovered, the more I was able to help others.
My work as an integral guide became a fusion of ancient wisdom, contemporary leadership principles, and intuitive knowing. I saw transformation not as a linear process but as a journey of awakening—one that requires courage, self-inquiry, and alignment with a greater universal intelligence.
In my book “The Unconventional Conventionalist,” I lay out a philosophy that moves beyond conventional leadership into collaborative, heart-centered engagement. This approach isn’t about fixing people but empowering them to recognize their own potential, synchronize with their purpose, and navigate change with grace and resilience. I share the precepts, principles and powerful tools I’ve found to do so.
Zen is extremely intelligent and sees things on levels that most people do not.
Zen helped me sift through my thoughts and goals so I could better achieve them. He helped me to expand my awareness for things within me and around me and use them as guides in daily living. With Zen's guidance I was able to move closer to my "dreams" with my career and see positive changes in many areas of my life that I had always hoped for.
His innate insights have given me both knowledge and an inner understanding of myself
As a chiropractor and business owner, I’ve hired several business coaches that had a lot of information and little actual help in accomplishing goals and objectives. In just 3 months Zen has helped me with focus, stress reduction, how to be more productive and communicating with others, just to mention a few results.
