A Better Money Story Starts Here
I grew up watching my dad chase more.
More money, more freedom, more adventure.
He had everything we’re told to want.
But it wasn’t enough.
He lost the people he loved, the relationship he wanted, and eventually his life.
I never forgot that.
And when I became a dad, I saw the same pressures trying to repeat themselves.
So I built something different.
The Awesome Stuff
A simple system that helps kids and families:
- pause before spending
- save for freedom
- give because they can
- choose meaning over more
It started as a moment with my boys at Disneyland.
It grew into a book.
Then a deck of cards.
Then a classroom experience.
Now it’s a movement.
This simple system is intentionally grounded in evidence showing that visuals, reflection, and play help learners of all ages build healthier habits and stronger decision-making skills (Harvard Project Zero, National Institute for Play
My Work Today
I’m a TV personality, speaker, and author.
I’ve been seen on TEDx, CTV, Fox, Global, and The Social.
Over 5,000 families and dozens of schools use the Awesome Stuff system.
My mission is simple:
Rewrite how an entire generation thinks and feels about money.
Why It Matters
Money touches everything.
But the things that make life rich aren’t things at all.
They’re the moments, the people, and the choices that matter most.
This work is my way of breaking the cycle for my kids, for yours, and for anyone who wants a better story.
