Lessons Learned...

  • What purpose do you hope to convey to your audience?

    God has always been my guiding light, my ultimate mentor. I truly believe that He has entrusted me with the task of sharing these stories to bring solace to my soul. He understands that these stories have been brewing within me for years, and now, in my retirement, I am on a quest to find that "next" passion that will allow me to give back and inspire others. My legacy is already established, but I yearn for my children, friends, and family to remember the importance of being actively engaged in humanity, as it can truly enhance our daily lives.

  • What does your mentee theme mean to your audience?

    Many of us need a life coach to improve ALL of our relationships but the most important is with God. I’m a lifetime mentee who has benefitted from the wisdom of many. This collection of writings are universally proven biblical lessons shared as books, audio and musical stories to lift your spirits and help you confidently lead your family in faith.

  • What is your overall vision for these books?

    To leave a legacy, to inspire readers to live a Christ like life, to present life situations in a unique, fun, interesting way. I have had great mentors and I want to honor them by showing how their advice affected me and inspire others through what I learned so my mentor’s advice will inspire others. 


    There were three important practices I followed that led to success. I’m the guy who paid attention to what my mentors taught. I listened to their guidelines to inspire me, then my family, then others, as best I could and I kept my eyes on Christ no matter what. 


    Gen Patton said “training reduces fear” so I applied what I learned, or “thought” I learned. Above all I made changes to my daily prayer life.


    I framed my messages to inspire. I knew I could be authentic and honest and my stories and poetry reflect both. Above all I am confident they are GOD inspired. I view my body of work as a “dessert” in life; they are fun and entertaining “rich” meals, short inspiring, and yummy, leaving you wanting more and to read (eat) it again and again.

  • What are some of your most important life lessons?

    Despite facing numerous challenges, I always remained faithful. I made sure to create a protective barrier around myself and my loved ones. Although not always, I frequently incorporated Christ into my daily life, both physically and spiritually. I adorned my surroundings with crosses, pictures, Rosaries, and statuary, not for worship but as reminders. I even wore a brown scapular and gave Miraculous Medals to my family members. 


    My wife always found encouragement when I engaged in "church" activities, and she could join me in prayer when I did so openly. Regularly meeting with other men to discuss faith taught me the importance of continuously working on my parenting, health, education, and spiritual well-being. 


    Reconciliation served as an affordable form of therapy, although I wish I had done it more frequently. It inspired me to have meaningful conversations about life with trusted individuals. Thanks to my involvement in the church, I have had many friends who I can confide in without worrying about the consequences. In fact, at times, I felt as accountable to these men as my wife. Being a good man for my wife and children was a driving force within me.
