About the Good Sign Founder

Hello,

I think it’s important to tell you a little more about my personal backstory and the motivations behind creating the Good Sign and Team Good Sign. Things that you have likely never heard before now.

It became very clear to me many years ago that the exact opposite of this was unfortunately happening: Fear mongering has been creating division in our society and affecting people’s quality of life in a major way.

I somehow intuitively knew for many years before starting Good Signs that I had a deep desire to help with these problems, and would do so in a profound way.

This desire to help and a deep feeling of sympathy toward others were both catalyzed though a journey of my own personal suffering. 

I definitely do not want to be a bummer or seem negative by sharing my story. That is never my intention. I actually rarely share my story in this way and as a matter of fact this is my first time doing so publicly.

I feel that our current world situation in 2020 and moving beyond, warrants being very clear about the motivations and intentions for this vision so that people can connect with it in an even stronger way. It is time for me to step up and become a better leader. To be more transparent about my experience and journey thus far.

Without going into great dramatic detail and also while realizing that I do not hold a monopoly on suffering in any way (We all go through it to varying degrees) I will share just a little about my experience with you:

Shortly before starting Good Signs I went through a tough divorce and just before that, over a period of several years, I lost almost every member of my blood family in rapid succession.

If I went into detail about ALL of the struggles that I endured this would be a very long page.  So I will try to keep it short and perhaps also save a few tidbits for the movie version.

Over the past decade since beginning all of this I’ve experienced years of homelessness and personal, financial, business and health struggles.. I am currently living in San Diego battling cancer and had been for many years without even knowing it.

I want to balance this out by saying that this period of time has also held the most beautiful, happiest moments and experiences of my life.

The Good Sign movement and Team Good Sign Family have helped carry me through some of the hardest times. Having what I believe to be a very important a mission/purpose of helping others and creating community has actually helped to keep me going and continues to give me strength to to get through even some of the toughest times in my life.

Thank you Fam for all of your support over the years!

Perhaps I am also sharing this because someone who is reading is also in the midst of their own personal struggle and needs to hear it.

When you endeavor to do any worthy thing there will likely be struggle. Somehow through all of this I have managed to keep going, and you can do it too!

I’ts been said that “Giving up is the only sure way to fail”

So to whoever needs to hear it.. Try to get through the fear of past struggles and failures and continue on by immersing yourself in the activity of whatever it is that you are trying to accomplish.
