This work is personal to me

Why I created The Great Comeback Series

For years, I built a company around helping people live with more clarity and heart. I believed deeply in the work, and I knew how to keep going when things were hard.

Then my wife Susan was diagnosed with cancer.

Over the years that followed, much of my life became about caring for her and trying to hold everything else together. She passed away in 2017. My company fell apart in the process. I lost the person I loved most, along with so much of the life I had built around us.

There were days when I felt defeated, alone, and unsure how to begin again. I couldn’t think or push my way out of that. I had to learn how to be with what had happened, find my footing in the present, and listen for what still mattered to me. It took time. Some days, it still does.

That’s why I created The Great Comeback.

I want to make room for the stories we rarely tell while we’re living them—the self-doubt, the setbacks, the quiet effort it takes to get through another day, and the moments when a new direction begins to appear. I’ll share what my own road has taught me and invite others to share theirs.

My hope is that someone in the middle of a hard chapter will recognize themselves here and feel a little less alone. A comeback can begin long before you know what your next chapter will look like.
