I’ve used A.B.S. (Awareness, Beliefs, and Systems) in every chapter of my life.

As an author, I became aware of my voice, dismantled the belief that “I’m not good enough to publish,” and built systems to write consistently until my 2 books and 5 photobooks were born. These works have since raised more than $60,000 for charity.

As a social entrepreneur, I became aware of the needs around me, rewired the belief that “impact is only for big players,” and built systems that allowed Holdinghands Studio to create meaningful change

for the under-privileged.

As a photographer and fitness competitor, it was the same: Awareness of my strengths,

Belief in what was possible, and Systems that carried me through the toughest days when quitting is the easy way out.

That’s why A.B.S for Life isn’t just about abs.

A.B.S. framework can transform careers, relationships, and personal growth too.

Once you master awareness, beliefs, and systems in one area, you can carry it into every arena of life and finish stronger than you start.

Many media outlets and luminaries have graciously acknowledged my efforts. Yet, through all the attention and buzz, my sincere wish remains the same: to contribute to a brighter, kinder world.
One snapshot, one piece of writing, one act of goodwill, and one transformed life at a time.
