Did you know kids sit 8 hours a day?

8 hours. SITTING. KIDS?!

Most of that time they’re just being told what to do.

I’m on a mission to help kids:

  • Own their choices by making them every day

  • Trade anxious & stuck for unfiltered play

  • Tap into mentors who actually show up

  • Build friendships that feel like family

Informed through Self‑Determination Theory—structure + autonomy + engaged mentors.

Inspired by three decades with happy, motivated, and thoughtful kids growing outside their comfort zones at summer camp.

Every Thursday I drop Lessons from Camp—bite‑size tactics you can steal for work, home, and leadership.

7 Quick Facts about Me

  1. Biked across Spain in a shark costume—because sweating while wearing fins seemed fun.

  2. I swear summer camp is the healthiest place—s’mores > supplements.

  3. Started a nonprofit sleepaway camp in 2015—everyone deserves camp.

  4. Facilitate YPO-style forums—real talk beats corporate-speak any day.

  5. Have trained 10,000+ counselors—bunk-bed leadership is a life skill.

  6. Visited 500+ camps before 40—Guinness still ghosting me.

  7. I am excited to spend this summer at Camps Kenwood & Evergreen
