About Me


I’m the President of Spawho.com, Inc. and Paradigm International Enterprises as well as a hired Speaker, Business Coach, Trainer, Keynote Speaker and © Certified Dream Coach. Dreams are distinct from fantasy (i.e winning the lottery, etc) because you can design a strategy for achieving dreams.

When I say dream, I don't refer to some corny, pie-in-the-sky, clouds of blue fantasy. Nothing is as real to a person as a dream. Before dream is complete in its physical reality, it must reside in every area of the dreamer - even the fun and downtime areas. The world can change around you, but your dream will not. Responsibilities cannot not erase it. Duties cannot not obscure it. Because the dream is within you, no one can take it away. Think about, Work towards and Live your Dream seven days a week ... or simply be imprisoned by the continual thought of it and do nothing about it. - Your choice.
Since 1991 I've been directly responsible for recruiting over 1/2 Million New & Ideal clients as well as training, coaching and educating the Salon & Spa industry and many of the "Top 200 Fastest Growing Salons in America." I work with manufacturers, distributors, independent and corporate salons and spas and do A LOT of traveling and design workshop presentations, seminars and trainings.

Are your team, profits, clientele and/or atmosphere exhibiting slow, slack or sluggish warning signs? I'm your guy; I bring the J.U.I.C.E. and inject life back into the veins of the dream!!! www.spawho.com
One of the biggest and most commonly overlooked challenges in the salon & spa industry: The pesky front desk (“Thank you for calling -Please hold.”). So additionally, I created a two-day Front Desk seminar and a six-week Online Webinar (online seminar) to right this wrong and enhance your customer service experience. Top Gun Front Desk: The Cockpit to Your Soaring Business.
Working feverishly to finish two books this year. One is an industry book, and one … not.

Between travel, speaking and not traveling and speaking, I dig film, art, music and wine. Love editing film, creating multi-media presentations and writing songs. Have what I lovingly refer to as a “stupid band.” We do do everything from originals to Radiohead, Beatles, Butch Walker and other obscure covers from Travis & Ryan Adams to Ocean Colour Scene, Elvis Costello and The Decemberists as well as originals. Both of my daughters are great 8 yr old drummers; one can play anything, but is really more into puppy dogs, while the other plays just like Charlie Watts & Phil Rudd. On ocassion, they will sit in and play drums; reallly just terrific. Have penchant for bands with VOX amps, Rickenbackers and warm Martin guitars.

Whist traveling in the air, I opt for aisle exit row (poor man's first Class) whenever I don't get the upgrade. My favorite "in air" past time (when not sleeping or being awoken by the side swipe of a flight attendant's hip) is reading any Chuck Klosterman while listening to iPod on shuffle and sipping an airplane red.
Never met a veggie sandwich I didn’t like. Well, that’s not exactly true. I once had an awful sandwich from an awful sandwich shop that seems to be gaining chain-link noteriety, Potbelly’s. Heard of it? Great malts, awful sandwiches. Think of Subway (sorry) only heated.

Not opposed to meat, just to hypocrites. Love irony; loathe hypocrisy and ironically love when the two come together as ironic hypocrites.
At the end of the day, I simply prefer my groceries in a plastic bag. Thank you.
