Zen's Personal Story
My message? Awaken purpose. Align action. Live fully.
There was a time when I believed success came from control, strategy, and flawless execution. My early career in aerospace project management, corporate consulting, and complex event and construction coordination reinforced that belief—and I thrived in it. Yet beneath the structure and precision, I felt a deeper call. Connection, intuition, and transformation tugged at me—quietly but persistently—until I couldn’t ignore it any longer.
That call led me inward. Adopted as an infant, I carried an innate sense of searching that sparked radical curiosity and vulnerability. Over time, I discovered an inner voice—one rooted in both personal experience and something greater. As I deepened that connection, my purpose became clear: to guide others through meaningful transformation and transcendence from the trials and tribulations of life.
My work today blends ancient wisdom, modern leadership, and intuitive insight into a path that helps others awaken their potential, align with purpose, and move through change with confidence and grace.
The Unconventional Conventionalist
The Unconventional Conventionalist: Coagulating Possibilities from Chaos is a bold invitation to unlock your potential by embracing creativity, curiosity, and the unexpected. Drawing from a career across aerospace, education, construction, media, and nonprofit leadership, I share transformative lessons that challenge conventional thinking and show how joy, purpose, and innovation can thrive—even in chaos.
This book is more than a memoir—it’s a practical guide to reshaping work and life with meaning. From interactive classrooms to high-stakes project teams, and from spiritual awakenings to digital media production, I reveal how blending fun with focus creates breakthroughs. It’s a call to think differently, lead with heart, and co-create a fulfilling, authentic path forward. Get your free copy below.
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.
