“Having logged as many miles as I have while meeting interesting people, world leaders, actors, and just traveling the world, I have so many amazing stories - some of which are actually hard to believe - I think about leading workshops and speaking in front of large crowds about how to just be the lead character in your life’s story and to encourage others to do the same. I have found myself consulting with people and companies on how to have not just a vision for their company and craft but for their personal lives as well. I would love to see that expand world wide - and it will.”

“I am a huge fan of those who are interested in risk and hard work. I was watching Jerry Seinfeld’s web series again recently - Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and he was interviewing Jim Gaffigan (whom I’ve worked with and used to be friends with) and Jim asked Jerry “Do you ever consider how lucky you are for the opportunity to do the thing you enjoy..that’s insane…?” To which Jerry replied “No…you had a regular job but you left - nobody else left - so why are you so lucky…you did this…not luck…what about your talent…was that just luck? What about the gift of being able to work hard? When do I (Jerry) get any credit for doing anything then…?” At this point they both laughed and drove on…but I found this to be true about what I’ve done. Working hard and all those that do as well share that in common - no matter what walk of life or title. I absorb everything I can get my hands on - doesn’t matter where it came from - poets, musicians, other photographers and sometimes even wisdom written on a bathroom wall.”
