About me.
Curious.
Across 5 continents, 40 countries, and 48 U.S. states, by ship, train, plane, bus, rickshaw, bicycle, camel, and motorcycle, I have sought out experiences that foster insight.
My interest in Buddhism and mindfulness began when I lived in South Korea, continued in India, and culminated in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where I lived in a Zen Buddhist temple for two years.
Creative.
As a creative thinker, I help people see the big picture in a way they never have before. By asking powerful questions, I help others make unexpected connections and advance their approach so they can innovate their way through this giant experiment we call life.
Compelling.
I create compelling products by building them at the intersection of ancient Eastern wisdom, modern Western science, and my personal experience.
How my work can benefit you?
My aim is to make actionable tools you can use to support your agency. I’m not in this to create dependent relationships. I’m in this to liberate myself and others.
In everything I do, I strive to offer simple yet sophisticated ways to bring mindfulness into everyday life. Ways you can implement immediately.

Practicing mindfulness, even for just a few weeks, can help you become healthier by:

Who wouldn’t pay money for that!?
For those of us who have done meditation retreats or studied mindfulness-based stress reduction, we know firsthand that the benefits of mindfulness are insanely great.
Yet, it can be surprisingly hard to bring mindfulness into everyday life.
According to meditation teacher and mindfulness guru Jack Kornfield, the most frequently asked question by students of meditation is: How do I bring this practice into my daily life?
The Mindful Life Journal can help you do just that.
