About Me

I am 55 years old, married to my soul mate - Nuria, living in the south of Spain in a beautiful little town with our adorable little dog – Tofy. I am blessed with four wonderful children: 2 adult daughters from a previous marriage and 2 adult step-children. I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, to 2 amazing parents that were European immigrants.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from York University in Toronto. Over the decades, I have had many successful careers in Entertainment, Retail, IT and Real Estate, with a highlight of working 16 years at IBM Canada! In all those careers, the one common passion was that I got to work with so many amazing people, whether colleagues or customers.

In the last few years, I had a personal and divine call to action that I could no longer deny. My Brother had died from a massive stroke, my Dad died from Parkinson’s Disease and my Mom died from Cancer. There was a lot of pain and suffering for all involved, and a lot of vague and unhelpful answers from the medical establishment. No one was saved, and I thought: “There has to be more. Was all this necessary?”

Thus began my incredible journey into health & wellness and Functional Medicine. As I learned more and more, a passion grew within me. And I wanted to share it with the world around me, and to make a career out of it. But how? And then my beloved wife Nuria, was diagnosed with stage 4 Lung Cancer. It was bad. I looked up to the sky and asked: “Why!?” I knew what I had to do. I had to help her, and so many others out there, to try and avoid needless and avoidable pain and suffering.

The “How” presented itself shortly after when I found the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy (FMCA) and there was my clear path to health coaching. So I attended their 1 year program and I am now a Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach (FMCHC).

After making major changes in our lives, which was Start from Happiness, I’m thrilled to say that my wife is now no evidence of disease! And with this career change, I have had the incredible blessings and pleasure to be a part of my clients’ health & wellness journeys, too!

In doing so, I have discovered the meaning of one the foundations of health within the Functional Medicine framework: having a strong sense of meaning and purpose in life.
