2020 was perhaps the most pivotal year in my life. That’s the year the Covid industry was unleashed on the world, and the year I abandoned my 42-year career, sold everything and moved to Panama!
By holding onto our ideals , my wife and I were forced into creating a new existence out of nothing more than a simple desire to live a free vibrant life in a peaceful country. We favored a Central American location for its abundant agriculture and fresh water opportunities and learned that land was reasonably priced & available. We pulled the trigger mid 2021 and our lives changed forever.
After a few years in Panama things were still going well, so we doubled down and had a house built to our own design. Somewhere along the same timeline, my career in Offshore Diving had become accessible to me again (jabs no longer required), and I went back to rekindle the international travel and financial reward once more.
But it no longer suited the person I was trying to become.
The subsea industry, working for the offshore oil & gas companies, collaborate in lock-step exploiting the oceans’ natural resources (their words). For over 40 years my energy was crafted around take, take, take. The Plandemic era presented a golden opportunity for me to develop a new skillset which actually benefited humanity. Now in 2026, my job revolves around helping people live a more healthier, productive, & conscious life. The more I work, the healthier and disencumbered society becomes and I do not know about you , but I love that ❤️.
I did not come into the Coaching profession totally new though. I had decades of experience working side-by-side with a close-knit crew. I was honored to listen to countless hours of the innermost intricacies of my colleagues’ work & family life. Every person has a special story and I felt a sense of gratitude when they would share theirs with me (for whatever reason). So, working within the human element was already comfortable for me, and afforded me valuable insight to utilize within my Coaching practice.
I read a couple quotes that motivated me to create 5 Pillar Health. One was from Ralph Waldo Emmerson:
“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be”
And the other quote was from Dr. John Demartini:
“if you are not making enough money, you are not helping enough people”
Those quotes inspired me to commit to a new way of living my life. Yes, I wanted to become a higher version of myself, and make my living helping others - and understood on a spiritual level that I have the power to do it. As I sit here in the office of our newly built house, (nestled within the mountains of Chiriqui), I realize how our lives have changed 100%, but I’m quite proud of our accomplishments and looking forward to the next phase in our lives.
