I’m the President of a single family office and private trust company, an advisor to family members seeking a more authentic presence around wealth, a speaker and writer on family enterprise issues, a facilitator of difficult but generative conversations for business and family leaders, an expert on conflict and negotiation, and a Zen priest.
