How do you spend your day? (aka what's your job?)

I work for Heartland Payment Systems while I maintain contact with my marketing list for The Stone Group, my own company while I work on my second book on personal achievement and productivity.

What's your hometown?

South Hadley, MA

Favorite activities?

Read, Write, spending time with my family and friends, Personal Development, watching the Red Sox win, and the Yankees lose, playing golf.

Spirituality?

My own personal relationship with God, (If that is what you mean) I struggle a bit with formal Religion. It is my belief that God is pure. This purity is devoid of the need for acceptance or approval. There is no need for He/She/It to defend it's existence. I see it as somewhat ironic that religion has become nothing more than different groups of people all doing their best to defend a God that could never concieve of the need to do so.

What's your long-term goal? If you don't know yet, that's OK!

Own several businesses and spend my time writing, speaking, and teaching others how to maxmize their performance and leadership capabilities.

Achieving our long-term goals involves a lot of baby steps. What goal are you working toward right now?

Specifically designing a time management device that will allow me to create the life that works best for me.

How would you like KF community members help you achieve this goal?

Encouragement, Advice, Referrals

We ask that each member makes a pledge to the community: What help can you offer to your fellow members?

I pledge to respond to any and all inquiries regarding personal potential and leadership. I pledge to give answers when I can, advice when I have to , and referals when it makes sense. I pledge to be honest and act with integrity.

If you had to put your personal philosophy on a bumper sticker, what would it be?

We are all doing the best we can - Always!
