I’m blessed with the extremely rare condition HSAM or Hyperthymesia - a career spanning 57 diverse & interesting roles and a high quality network of friends, educators, athletes and associates. I solve problems that require clever solutions and return 50% of profit back to the community. My psychologist says I'm best described as the baby of Jerry Maguire and Rain Man, or Moneyball meets A Beautiful Mind. I’m more amped up than Steve Irwin. I died twice (heart failure) in August 2020 and now have more positive energy than anyone you know. I was given a fuxectomy during my surgery and no longer fear death, poverty, homelessness, rejection or minimalisation - these experiences have just given me some cool stories for the students I serve. I know I’m living on borrowed time and I live every day as such. Gallup Strengths - Positivity, Input, Activator, Ideation, Maximiser.
