From my working-class roots in an industrial northern town in England, I achieved my goal of becoming the youngest partner in a top national law firm within 10 years of finishing college. Just nine months after making partner I left my high-profile legal career to start my first successful business - helping organizations and individuals be more fear-less, more authentic, and ultimately achieving their goals faster.
A ten year detour followed, which was really just the long way around to finding myself again. During that adventure, I took increasing risks, seeking greater rewards and global recognition in an attempt to silence my relentless inner critic.

I am dad to 4 amazing kids and am married to the most incredible woman. We've recently moved from Florida to New York and are grateful to now enjoy all four seasons! I travel a lot, and appreciate spending significant time in London, Los Angeles, and Miami and I have to pinch myself every now and then because I get to write, speak and coach all over the world on how to Be, More...
