The Promise of The Descent
My Friend, You have had an incredible year. Perhaps the greatest year of your life and career. You stand proud on the top of the mountain, able to see your great accomplishments surrounding you, joyously lifting you up, to know you gave your all in a most harrowing ascent is your reward.

The Show Must Go On: The Promise to Your Client
The other day I finally had a moment to bag my first peak of the year. Hiked 3 miles up to Grandeur Peak, an 8,300 ft summit, had a great time with my friend as we breathed in the crisp Utah air and felt extreme gratitude to live in this beautiful place. As you […]
The Curse of Empty Promises
A friend of mine, Shawn Rapier, told me a sobering story recently. An old friend reached out 2 months ago and invited him to her wedding. It was 3 days away, and being out of town, he couldn’t make it. Instead, Shawn said, “Let’s do this – How about I get a few of […]
Putting in the Reps
My son asked for private lessons with a former NBA star from the Utah Jazz and I told him the lessons are so expensive that he would need to prove over 6 months his dedication to the game he loves so much in order to earn such an opportunity. Every day I would hear […]
The Promise That Is Jerry Lewis
9 Decades of laughs. How is it even possible? Jerry Lewis’ passing this weekend left me reeling and unable to process the influence this man made on my career.

The Promise of Staying Positive
Over the past few weeks I can easily say more has gone wrong than right on our RV trek across America. The challenge is when you set your expectations so high, and hope every idea will turn out, and then reality happens. The thing I have to keep saying to myself is to stay positive. […]
General RV Review
You may be surprised that I would post something like this online. I normally post nothing negative. But The Promise to The Audience is just as important to The One. In this case I was the recipient of the service of someone and you’ll see my story below. I sent it to General RV. Hope […]
The RV Trip Promise
Kids are sleeping. It’s 2 AM here in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and my mind will not shut off. Two years ago, after we as a family made a very big decision and purchased a Class C 32 ft. Winnebago motorhome to cross the USA in 4 weeks, I promised the kids that […]
The Descent: The Greater Ascension
As I sobbed into the phone from the summit of The Grand Teton, following a 24-hour long arduous trek to get to the legendary craggy peak, I left a message for my family in both gratitude for their help with my preparations to ascend, and also mixed with terror at the thought of what […]
