Personal Story

Zen’s journey through life has been marked by profound challenges and transformative experiences, learning by example and on purpose. From the very beginning, being adopted instilled a sense of searching for belonging and identity.

This journey included navigating the storms of divorce with four children, which reshaped personal connections and deepened the understanding of impermanence. In the corporate world, an unexpected expulsion pushed Zen to explore new avenues, eventually leading to a more authentic and fulfilling path. The most heart-wrenching challenge was the tragic death of a grandchild, which brought the deepest grief, yet also a profound appreciation for life’s fleeting beauty. Each trial has woven together a tapestry of resilience, wisdom, and a deepened commitment to living with purpose.

Amidst these challenges, Zen’s life took on new meaning through his life-enhancing roles as Operations Director of Live and Let Live and Founder of the Planetary Citizens. These endeavors allowed him to channel his experiences into global initiatives that promote peace, sustainability, and unity. Through these roles, Zen has found a renewed sense of purpose, dedicating his life to fostering harmony among people and the planet, and working towards a sustainable and compassionate future for all.

Real Stories of Transformation and Success

Hear directly from those who have experienced profound change and growth through our coaching.

positive change, transformational life coaching

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.
