Excitement About Empodio

We have a small slice of time on this planet to make the impact we want to make. Empodio is about providing the opportunity for others to join the Salesforce #ohana, while doing our best to help those who we feel impassioned to help. My goal is for every client we take to be about them rather than the money.

Favorite Travel Experience

I stayed the better part of a week in Slab City, a lawless city on an abandoned military base. The week was spent questioning people on the fringes of society. It was fascinating, and a little terrifying.

Something Surprising

I spent a year living in a Buddhist center meditating on the nature of reality. It helped me define the person I want to be. It also turned me into that annoying friend that says “Is that true?” and “How can you know this to be true?” all the time. Good for consulting, bad for dinner parties.

3 Self-Describing Words

Favorite Snacks

Coffee or Tea

I fell in love with tea at a master tea ceremony in rural china. I married tea in the Buddhist monastery. Coffee is a dirty word.

Soccer
