Hi & Welcome!

I’ve spent more than two decades as a photographer, learning how much clarity comes from slowing down long enough to really see—light, timing, people, and the moments that can’t be rushed. The finest parts of life.

A way that kept returning me to presence, trust, and what I needed was already available.

That way of seeing began to shape more than my photographs. It shaped how I moved through creativity, decision-making, and change itself.

What started behind the lens became a way of paying attention to how I was leading, choosing, and responding—especially when certainty wasn’t available.

Over time, I began to recognize that the same intelligence I relied on while photographing was active far beyond the frame. It showed up in creative work, in leadership, and in moments when old strategies stopped working.

Long before I named it, I was noticing what happens when people rush decisions, override their instincts, or try to force clarity and photographs and also what changes when they slow down, adapt, trust what they know, and move forward with care.

I eventually gave language to that pattern and began calling it Creative Adaptive Intelligence—a way people orient, decide, and adapt without abandoning themselves.

Thriv is where this intelligence is intentionally lived.

It’s a place where insight turns into movement, where trust is rebuilt through attention, and where clarity is allowed to unfold without force.

Photography, writing, tools, and gatherings are all expressions of returning ourselves and choosing how to move from there.

What you’ll find here takes a few forms, but they all come from the same way of seeing.
