For years my Linkedin headline read "World’s Most Handsome Social Media & Content Marketing Strategist." But, today I prefer to go by another title: “The Impact Guy”

I’m the founder of two companies Super Impactful and Super Productive.

• By day, I work as a strategist, speaker, and writer.
• By night, I'm just Super-Dad.

My mission in life is to become an unstoppable catalyst for change that helps make the world kinder, safer and more equitable. I do this by giving people the tools and guidance to make their impact.

I am unrelenting in my commitment to living a purpose-driven life, helping people to unlock their full potential, and being a heroic and lovable leader.
I got my undergraduate degree from Temple University and earned my MBA from Drexel University. I’m also proud to be a board member of Pathways to Housing PA, a housing-first non-profit that believes housing is a human right that helps to get people off of the streets and into a home.
