Building Success From The Ground Up

I’m an entrepreneur, investor, coach, and meditation practitioner who has built success at a high level in both business and life.

I co-founded and scaled a multi-million dollar behavioral healthcare company serving thousands of children on the autism spectrum. What began in a small apartment grew into a 200+ employee organization, culminating in an 8-figure private equity exit.

Along the way, I built multiple real estate ventures, creating the kind of financial freedom that allows me to live and work on my own terms.

Reality

The Cost Of Success

Behind that external success was a different reality. I was working close to 100 hours a week. Constantly thinking, solving problems, and pushing forward.
At that level, everything becomes mental. Every decision. Every challenge. Every step forward.

Over time, it takes a toll. Eventually, my body forced me to stop. I developed severe chronic fatigue syndrome, which completely changed how I had to live.

It forced me to step back and ask a deeper question. Is this actually the way I want to live?

Discovery

Finding Clarity Beyond The Mind

Burnout and illness led me to a crossroads and into the arms of Sufi mysticism. Under the guidance of the great spiritual master Sidi Muhammad al-Jamal, I underwent a profound inner transformation, learning to merge the worlds of business and spirit into a single, heart-centered life.

My experience in business gave me structure, strategy, and execution. 
My experience in meditation gave me clarity, awareness, and perspective.

Today, everything I do is built on that integration.
I help people access deeper clarity, then translate it into real decisions and meaningful action in their life and business.

Today

A Life Of Freedom, Presence, And Direction

Today, my life looks very different. I’m no longer driven by constant pressure or overthinking.

I have the freedom to travel, spend meaningful time with my family, and be fully present in my life. I’ve built a strong relationship with my wife, and together we’re raising our son while creating a life that feels aligned, intentional, and meaningful.

This didn’t come from working harder. It came from learning how to access clarity first, and act from it.

Why This Matters

Clarity Changes Everything

Most people try to solve their lives from the mind. They think more, plan more, and push harder.

I’ve lived that way. And I’ve also experienced what happens when you access something deeper. When clarity comes from the heart, decisions become simpler. Action becomes more effective. And life begins to move with less friction.

That’s the work I now help others experience.
