Welcome to my BetterNetworker page,

My wellness journey began back in 2002, with my two children being all grown up and watching their children grow up it was clear to me that it was time to live my life to the fullest. I had served the citizens of New York City for 20-years with "New York's Finest" (NYPD), and now it was time for me to hang up my guns and be a normal citizen again.

Having a stressful job had taken a toll on my diet and nutrition "exercise was never a problem" I always found time for that. The hours that I worked were sporatic and many times it meant going without a meal grabing something quick like a donut, LoL! So with that said, my journey pretty much started when I retired eight years ago right after The 911 Attacks, I will never forget that day and the days, weeks, months and the year that followed. Debilitating illnesses and death were on the rise for many of the rescue and recovery workers.

I questioned my health each and everyday that I reported to work, symptoms of respiratory illnesses were being documented.

Immediately following my retirement I joined a small gym complete with a PT (Personal Trainer) it had been 20 years since my academy days but my body quickly responded and I was up for the challenge!
Oh, by the way I was 49 years young when I retired, Life is good!

My business is coaching, I am the "coach" and I hold no agenda other than my clients.
The relationship between me and my client is co-creative, meaning that we are equals and both have an active role. I am not a therapist, counselor or consultant. I am a trained coach using honed communication skills to support you as a detached thinking partner. Together we create more power for you to effect meaningful change and take dynamic actions toward your goals.

There’s nothing like coaching, to understand the value of it, experience it for yourself!
