Instructors
From Laid Off to Living the Dream
In 2010, I walked in the front door of my Orange County, California home after getting laid off from what would be my last job ever. When my wife saw the box full of stuff from my office, she instantly knew what happened. Together, we decided to do something crazy – we sold everything we owned, started a lifestyle business, and set out to live our dream life. Long story short - it's been more amazing than we ever hoped it would be.
A natural entrepreneur, and backed by a decade of marketing knowledge, I worked at first with locally based businesses to grow their revenue by marketing online. Because the company was entirely internet-based, it gave us a ridiculous amount of freedom and the ability to visit places we had always wanted to see.
Laptop Lifestyle and Digital Entrepreneurship
I'm a huge fan of lifestyle design and I actually live it! Together with my wife & 3 children, we've lived in Cozumel, Mexico, Edinburgh, Scotland, Spain, and more. I run my business from my laptop from literally anywhere with an internet connection. While becoming a lifestyle entrepreneur isn't right for everyone, I deeply believe that life should be more than commuting, cubicles, and weekend trips to Costco. I love helping people figure out what they deep down want. Money is usually the first challenge, so we start there by creating viable sources of income.
I've been published in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Reboot Your Life and Chicken Soup for the Soul: Count Your Blessings. I also blog at Family Rocketship – a place for 20-, 30-, & 40-somethings to learn how to create a lifestyle business that allows more time for family, friends, & adventure.
Creating a Lifestyle Business & Being a Lifestyle Entrepreneur
My biggest passion is helping as many people as possible who desperately want to break free of the 9-5 and do “something cool" but just need the know-how. This passion stems from my own "wandering in the wilderness" for so long. After doing a lot of work to get where I am, I create stuff that I myself would have loved to have had a long time ago.
I was not always an island dweller and not always a chef (professionally speaking). I was brought up in the United States, primarily in New Jersey, and earned her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Lafayette College. Following college, I went straight into a corporate environment and worked in management.
During this time, I spent many evenings after work dabbling in cookbooks, watching Top Chef and spending much of my income dining out. I realized that food was not just three square meals a day; it was a way of life and the thought “What am I going to eat next?" was always on my mind. I decided to follow this calling and enrolled in culinary school at the French Culinary Institute in New York City.
I am now a classically trained French Chef who has apprenticed at a number of French and New American restaurants in New York and New Jersey. In 2010 I moved to Cozumel, Mexico where I started a private chef business that has evolved into a "culinary experience business" that hosts a variety of cooking classes, food tours and other related culinary services. Engineer - Chef - Entrepreneur.
