As I write I have shared 27 years on this earth and they have lead me to where I am now, on the path of Becoming the Authentic CEO.  I grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia, PA in a lower class to lower middle class home.  It wasnt until I was able to move out that my family hit the middle class society but by then I had aspirations of being great!

I graduated high school a year early and continued my education.  I was immediately accepted to Drexel University which I realized in only 6 months that it was NOT the place I wanted to be.  Deep within I had a desire to be more, do more and HAVE more and innately I knew that if the people teaching me to become great weren’t great themselves than could I really take their word?  I guessed not.

So I dropped out of college and worked as an intern for an engineering company in center city.  At 17 I was making $10 an hour!  That was more than most of my friends especially considering most of them were still in their senior year.  After some time passed I was introduced to network marketing which I later learned had some pretty negative connotations like MLM, pyramid schemes and many more classics.  Rather than listen I decided to learn more and understand for myself.  After gaining the perspective I needed I made my decision to leave the work place.  A co-worker said to me, “You’ll be back, its only a matter of time.”  Right then and there I realized I could never go back so I gave the old MLM a go.

The training, exposure, dream building, opportunity and much more a credible network marketing company provide are truly life changing!  So I had generated a small,  livable income but the true value and lifelong experience was priceless.  As a matter of fact the personal skills I was able to hone and develop through that experience in network marketing lead me to a big leap in my career and still help me every day.

After applying and being denied 4 times to be a salesman with a specialty finance company I finally got a job as an intern at 21 years old.  I quickly worked my way up to top salesman in the  company and eventually became Vice President of the National Finance Group within the company.  At 25 making a good living in the job world and having a great life I was guided to be, do and have more.

A friend told me about this guy Bob Proctor and some lady Mary Manin Morrissey and said they were having a seminar in my area, which was Los Angeles at the time.  I had nothing better to do and was curious of what I could learn so I went.  That single seminar started and upward spiral of becoming I had never even dreamt about before!

Mind you I have always been a student.  I may not be formerly educated but I have never stopped reading a self help book, going to personal growth seminars, attending workshops and improving myself.  Having Mary as a coach was the beginning of a new life and my life at the time was great so imagine whats coming now!
