Living an Intentional Life

 Have you ever had your life turned upside down? Well on one June morning A.J. literally ended up that way, upside down (suspended in mid-air) and asking himself “How did I end up here?” 

Trying to answer that question has led him on a journey of self-reflection and self-discovery that has led to a simple but powerful formula for taking control of life and achieving your goals.

A.J. will engage audiences with his energy, charisma, and quick wit while helping them navigate major pitfalls and learn to listen to their inner voice that guides them to make better decisions. Audiences will walk away able to live life more intentionally and with purpose.

A.J. was engaging, insightful, open, and honest. I learned a lot about myself as a leader!
