During my 24 years in the military, I served as a U.S. Army Special Forces Officer (also known as a Green Beret) and deployed throughout the world including four combat tours to Afghanistan.  Throughout my military career, two things remained constant - my family and my commitment to mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being.  

I have practiced yoga and meditation for two decades and can attest to the power of these practices on and off the battlefield.  I am a certified yoga teacher (RYT 200) who trained in Rishikesh, India.  I also have certifications in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and iRest® Yoga Nidra.      

I've been blessed to be mentored by elders such as Maka'ala Yates, navigator on the first voyage of the Hōkūleʻa, who's wisdom of Ho'oponopono has been an important part of my journey.   My offerings integrate my experiences as a warrior, my passion for Himalayan kriya and meditation, and my sincere respect for indigenous wisdom.  

I empower people with the resources to live a more healthy, happy and purpose-driven life through my work with Mind Body Aloha Wellness and Nrf2 Warrior. Additionally, I support active duty service members in their transition to the civilian sector through various collaborations in the public and private sector. 

Most importantly, I'm a parent (and even delved into being a homeschool teacher for two years).  Susan and I are raising our two boys to be the aloha we wish to see in the world.
