Started working as a systems engineer at age 13, did a 10-year stint as a corporate executive in finance and banking in my 20s, then spent the next 25 years working as an international management consultant. Celebrated my 50th birthday by committing $50M in professional services to benefit entrepreneurs around the world through SMARTSTART philanthropy programs. Proud to serve over 21,400 business people in 93 countries through this initiative. Spent 8 years relearning how to walk, talk and use a computer after an impaired driver crossed the highway center line and drove through my windshield leaving me with catastrophic brain and spinal cord injuries. Currently leading multiple client projects and marketing initiatives and working on my next book: The Space Between Breaths.
