It was a privilege to be involved with the kids and the "Youth Crew Leadership Team" that I assembled with some great people who shared my vision for the youth crew.

My role was showing the kids new ways to look at life and giving them hope that it was possible to achieve their Goals and Dreams.

I started with 5-6 kids and increased the Youth Crew to over 200 strong up until my resignation 6 years later.

This experience was so fulfilling and rewarding that I am continuing with this endeavor, as this is my dream come true and to build others up and give them great hope and tools for their future.

Since then, some of the organizations that came through the Tall Ship Sailing Program have asked if I would come and speak to their kids as "myself" and not representing the organization I was once with.

It is my passion to see the eyes in the kid's faces light up when I see their brains engage with what I am saying to them.

I tell them that everything is possible for them, even though life seems unfair and painful at times, life is still extremely great.

I hadn't realized that talking to all the kids would be so challenging and rewarding.

It's my life's goal to help kids and adults see the possibilities for their future, to live full and happy lives with great meaning and purpose, and to become someone of great value, which is true success.

I will continue to talk with kids, to inspire them to hold on to their dreams and reach out for their goals, to NEVER give up!

I put a lot of info about Life Principles on the Life Principles page for kids.
