I want to let you in on a little secret: I thought I’d be farther along by now. I thought I would have seen more, done more, accumulated more, achieved more and become more by now. I thought I’d be farther along.
I’m a work in progress; a student of life, an adventurer and seeker of truth; trying to do the best I can with what I’ve got.
I believe you and I are spiritual beings having physical experiences. And we’re not adventuring alone. We support each other as we are guided along this journey.
Living is an opportunity for us to explore and experience, learn and grow, create and contribute to express more life. We succeed when we make the most of ourselves.
I grew up in southern New Hampshire and completed a thirty+ year career with the United States Army, retiring at the rank of colonel. I served tours in the Balkans, in Iraq, as a Congressional Fellow with the United States Senate and as a National Security Fellow at Harvard University. I have a masters from Central Michigan University and a bachelors from the University of New Hampshire.
My wife, a superstar, the former Lisa Newcombe, and I have two terrific adult children, Merideth and Mitchell. We now live in Eagle River, Alaska, where I, along with my adventure-buddy Rusty (a 90-pound golden-doodle), explore the Great Land at every opportunity.
Living is a process of becoming; we never “arrive.” As I proceed, I attempt to discern simple, powerful, enduring truths – life’s principles of success. I apply them in my own life and want to share what I have discovered with you.
I have written nine books (fiction and nonfiction) laying out foundational principles of leadership and success and have produced and published multiple audio and audio-visual programs online. And I have several more projects in the works.
Recently I’ve come to realize much of the angst in society is the result of a power struggle. We all want to be happy. We think “gaining control” is the means to happiness. Mistakenly we attempt to control the world out there; when in truth, to live our fullest life we must master the world “in here” – within ourselves.
Every guide we encounter and every circumstance we experience points us to this truth: You have everything you need. You are infinitely powerful and capable. Your ultimate task is to share the gift of yourself with the world. When you share your gift you make the world a better place and you succeed.
Join me. I would be honored to travel with you.
