My Story
A journey shaped by insight & action. Trusting the path and embracing change
I feel my journey in life has gently led me to the path of becoming a Life Purpose Coach. From a young age, I was always a problem and puzzle solver. My mind is logical, pragmatic, and efficient — I often felt like my brain was just like a computer.
🔧 The Grounded Years: Building & Leading From 2008 to 2017, I ran a successful electrical contracting company. As director, I led a team, secured contracts, and handled everything from payroll to compliance. Life was full — work was demanding — but it laid the foundation for how I approach responsibility, structure, and leadership. Around this time, I also met my wife Elinor (Exhale Counselling), and we began building a life rooted in curiosity, travel, and growth.
🌍 The Catalyst: A Hot Spring in Panama In a remote hot spring in Panama, I had a sudden, life-altering moment of clarity: I needed to leave the business. The pressure was building faster than I could evolve to meet it. Everyone thought I was making a huge mistake — except my wife. But I knew it was time. Leaving Task Electrical wasn’t failure — it was the beginning of a more consciously aware life path
🎶Rewiring My Life: From Construction to Creativity. I spent two years working with my former business partner while reassessing what truly mattered. I realised I needed passion in my path — not just practicality. I retrained as an electronic music tutor and audio engineer, and after five years of learning and studio time, I built my own business in sound. Thanks to two rental properties I’d built up along the way, I also had financial freedom — and I used it to create a life that aligned with purpose.
🌒 Sobriety & Spiritual Grounding Behind the scenes, I was wrestling with cocaine, alcohol, and tobacco addiction. In 2019, I found my breakthrough and stepped into full sobriety. Sobriety opened doors: I wrote Escape the Dark Forest of Addiction, a self-help book based on my journey. It also led me and Elinor deeper into spiritual practice — silent retreats, meditation, and the kind of inner work that changes everything. These daily practices now form the core of our health, energy, and clarity
🧠 Life Coaching Was Always There Helping people has always been second nature — whether through music, business, sobriety, or mindset. While volunteering with a charity supporting autistic adults, it all clicked. Life coaching wasn’t new to me — it was what I’d been doing all along. Now, I coach others through life transitions, mindset shifts, addiction recovery, and financial clarity. I draw on every lesson I’ve lived — and use it to help others carve out lives that are freer, calmer, and more purposeful.
