ENTREPRENEUR

FOUNDER ● OWNER ● DIRECTOR

Maybe I’m wired a bit differently than most, but I’ve never been particularly motivated by traditional workplace hierarchies or competition. Add to that a strong point of view and a lifelong identity as an artist, and it’s fair to say I was never built to be a conventional employee.

As a result, I’ve spent my entire working life creating my own path — as a freelancer, independent contractor, and entrepreneur. In truth, I’ve been a serial entrepreneur from the very beginning.

I’m at my best when I’m building, shaping, and driving something forward on my own terms — combining creativity with initiative, and turning ideas into something tangible.

FOUNDER

There have been many “foundings” over the years — each with its own mix of success, failure, and hard-earned lessons. It started early with a canine obedience business, followed by an online children’s e-book publishing venture that arrived just a little too far ahead of the technology (and the market’s appetite). From there, I went on to build a video production company in Prague, develop a theatre project in London, and launch multiple group coaching ventures.

Along the way, I’ve also explored everything from an online hemp cooperative to a bike rental and touring company in Croatia. These projects have taken shape across California, Europe, and the UK — often as a company of one, driven by curiosity and the need to build. Not all of them worked, but every single one delivered something valuable. If nothing else, they’ve left behind a well-travelled trail of limited company “carcasses” — each one a stepping stone to what I’m building now. Scroll down to discover all of my current ventures.

GROUP EFFORT LTD.

Group Effort Limited is the umbrella company that brings together all of my ventures — including Life Longevity Zone, Spiritual Degree, and Offstage Acting. It’s the structure that allows each project to develop independently while still being rooted in a shared philosophy: growth through connection, collaboration, and real human engagement.

At the heart of it sits Group Effort Trainings — a more direct expression of that philosophy. It goes beyond traditional team building and focuses on something deeper: connection building. These sessions are designed to break through surface-level interaction and create genuine trust, communication, and cohesion within groups. It draws on my experience across performance, coaching, and personal development, with a focus on helping people connect in a way that actually lasts.

LIFE LONGEVITY ZONE

As every professional actor can tell you, commercials can be a fun and lucrative way to perform. They can also be a bit grueling from time to time but the lucky few actually get to do commercials that showcase their talents and allow for opportunites to tell a very short story in a very exciting way. I have been that lucky a handful of times myself. Here are a few samples of commercials I have made.

PUNCH TRACK

Punch Track is a streamlined recording tool built specifically for audiobook narrators and voiceover artists who rely on punch-and-roll workflows. It’s designed to remove technical friction and keep the focus where it belongs — on performance. By simplifying the recording process and eliminating unnecessary complexity, Punch Track allows users to move quickly, stay in rhythm, and maintain flow during long-form sessions.

I created Punch Track out of firsthand frustration with existing tools that felt over-engineered or disconnected from the realities of working voice professionals. As a co-founder, I lead the creative direction, user experience, and overall vision of the product, working closely with a full-stack developer to bring it to life. The aim is simple: build something genuinely useful, intuitive, and tailored to how narrators actually work — not how software companies think they should.

OFFSTAGE ACTING

Offstage Acting is a creative platform built around supporting and engaging with the acting community — particularly those navigating the realities of building a career in the industry. It includes coaching, actor advocacy, and The Offstage Acting Podcast, where I speak with working actors and industry professionals about the craft, the business, and everything in between. The aim is to offer honest insight, practical guidance, and a sense of connection for aspiring and professional actors alike.

While it began as a passion project, it also plays a meaningful role in supporting my own work as an actor. It’s a way of giving something back to a community I care deeply about, while staying immersed in the conversations that matter. Whether through one-on-one coaching or long-form podcast discussions, Offstage Acting is about creating a space that’s real, useful, and rooted in shared experience.

SPIRITUAL DEGREE

Spiritual Degree is a Substack-based writing project where I explore ideas around meaning, connection, and the underlying laws that shape human experience. It draws from years of personal study and reflection, translating deeper spiritual concepts into clear, relatable language for a broader audience. The tone is accessible and grounded, designed to resonate with people who are searching but may not align with traditional frameworks.

It’s not yet monetized but it’s a project I care deeply about. It continues to evolve organically from my ongoing study and faith, without a fixed end point. Where it leads is still open; it may develop into something more public-facing, such as lectures or educational work, but for now it remains a living, growing body of thought.
