BIO: I’m an introspective person. I’m an avid reader, a studier of people, a philosopher. 
I think deeply and dig even deeper.

My many years of launching, building, buying, and selling businesses, of dealing with dysfunction and conflict, of helping companies and people move through the really icky, tragic stuff to reach incredible, glorious, majestic success have brought me to this place and have honed my Philosopher Dave superpowers:

Bringing forth the wisdom that’s already there
Facilitating breakthroughs that calm the chaos
Empowering others to be their best selves
Coaching to solve the unsolvable
Helping ordinary people figure out how to do extraordinary things

My role as an EOS® Implementer is to help owners and leaders live their ideal lives. 
That sounds unachievable to many when we first start working together because they're often overwhelmed, overstressed, and overworked. 

Yet everything that gets in the way is just an issue; the raw material to achieve goals! Nothing is either good nor bad, it’s how we judge it - it’s the emotion. When we shift our attitude, choosing that we are either winning or learning, it puts us in a positive mindset every day.
