Zen's Personal Story

My message? The path to transformation isn’t about striving; it’s about remembering who we truly are.

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.

My journey to becoming a transformational guide began in vulnerability. Adopted as an infant, my early life was shaped by a profound sense of searching—seeking to understand me, my origins, and creation.

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 Power of Partnering,” 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​.

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.
