Be it the toaster, my Dad's 1949 Ford or my motor-cross bike. I've been taking things apart and putting them back together my entire life. Always curious how they worked and what would make them work better.

At the age of 13 during a leadership conference the curiosity about myself was ignited. I was introduced to concepts like self-awareness, self-esteem, communication and co-operation. Essentially I became curious about what it was that made myself and the people around me tick. I quickly realized that the experience of life could be altered simply by being aware of and managing what was going on in the mind.

Around the same age I took my first trip to Australia and the curiosity quenching experience of travel was unleashed. I've travelled to over 35 countries and went back to Australia in my late 30's to live for a few years. I always felt that there would be answers out there somewhere. I've found a few.

Business was my next target of curiosity starting my first business at the age of 14, another at 16, studying business in my early 20's at university while running my own businesses during the summers, working a decade in the corporate world while always running my own businesses on the side.

Today I have brought all my experiences and experiments of curiosity together professionally. I work with business owners helping them get clear about what is going on in their minds and business so that they achieve what's most important to them.

When I get a spare moment I am usually taking things apart and putting them back together at the cottage, all grain brewing, listening to books by thought provoking people, meditating, traveling and living life as best I can.

Life is full of wonderful mystery. Be curious.
