I have been in “sales & marketing” in one form all of my adult life. And in the last 20 years, I have bought, started, or sold ten different businesses. I have been a professional photographer, a publisher of educational material, calendars and greeting cards, the owner of a framing shop & art gallery, a professional tour guide, an independent distributor of health products, a speaker, a trainer, a translator, and a teacher. I guess you could say that entrepreneurship is as vital to me as the blood in my veins.

I have also written two published books; my first one became a Canadian bestseller in 1992. The first printing of my second book—A First Serving of Milk & Cookies for Success—was released in September 2004 and is almost sold out. As well, I have contributed a chapter in the bestselling book 101 Great Ways To Improve Your Life (Volume 2).

With the help of Laurel, my wife and business partner in The BizzBoosters, I have generated millions of dollars of business, and I’m very enthusiastic about sharing our insights with all who want to boost their business.

Everything I've just said about me so far relates to one of the hats I wear... I wear a second one too. That hat is labeled "personal development". My favorite experts in that field are: Stephen R. Covey, Dr. Robert Anthony, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen.

My very favorite self-growth mentors are: Robert J. Ringer, Zig Ziglar, the late Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, W Mitchell, and of course, Les Brown—who wrote a wonderful foreword for my two most recent books. If entrepreneurship is like the blood in my veins, then certainly self-development is like the air in my lungs; I can't live without it.

On a Personal Note, I live in a beautiful, spacious townhouse in a very green area of Ottawa—the capital of Canada—near the Ottawa River and Britannia Beach where I like to walk or bike to and watch the sun set over the water. I love biking; it’s my favorite mode of exercise and pastime.

My other pastimes include reading, movies, music, walking, visiting museums & art galleries, attending plays and concerts, cooking (especially on the BBQ), wine (studying, and savoring), and traveling, particularly on a cruise ship. Over the years, I have toured almost all of North America, and I’ve lived in three provinces and the Yukon Territory (for 13 years).

I do not have children of my own, but I have lots of nieces, nephews, siblings and parents I love to visit and spend quality time with every chance I get.

One of my favorite activities is creating new words: business words like Connectworking, Communicaetiquette, BizzTool, BizzBuilder & BizzBlocker. And adjectives like awesomsational, splendelightful, amazincredible, outstandynamite and wonderFUNtastic. My favorite made-up word is Successerenity—attaining it is Laurel’s and my ultimate goal in life. We define it this way:

"It’s the peace of mind experienced by people who are comfortable with the choices they’ve made, and who are contentedly enjoying success, with success defined as making their life what they want it to be, their better life for THEM, the design they give it, the dreams they accomplish."

That’s precisely what Laurel and I are experiencing at the moment. And because it feels so right, we try our very best to help as many people as we can experience it too.
