Hello, I’m Jay.
I’m an award-winning author, blogger, and behavioral health pharmacist with a passion for sharing life-changing words that make a real difference. Whether you’re on a journey of personal growth or navigating the twists and turns of retirement, I’m here to help you thrive.
Why do I focus on personal growth? Because I believe that every small step you take toward becoming your best self can lead to big, meaningful changes in your life. My writing is all about exploring those little steps, the ones that help you build confidence, find purpose, and create a life that feels truly fulfilling.
But that’s not all! I also write about the ins and outs of retirement—planning for it, reaching it, and making the most of it. Retirement isn’t just the end of a career; it’s the beginning of a whole new chapter filled with opportunities for growth, adventure, and yes, a little bit of fun too.
Through my books, blog posts, and other content, I aim to inspire and empower you to take charge of your life, whether that means setting new goals, embracing change, or simply enjoying the journey you’re on. I’m here to offer practical advice, share real-life stories, and maybe even make you laugh along the way.
I’ve got a pharmacy degree from The Ohio State University and an MBA from Texas A&M – Corpus Christi, which I’ve put to good use in my work. I’ve also had the chance to mentor and train the next generation of pharmacists as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Pharmacy Practice. It’s been a rewarding journey, blending my love for helping others with my passion for writing and personal growth.
So, if you’re ready to learn, grow, and live a life full of purpose, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s take this journey together!
And please, I’d love for you to join me on this journey! Please follow me on my Facebook Author Page and bookmark my website to check in on my blog every couple of weeks for fresh insights and inspiration.
My goal is to share practical advice and encouragement so you can confidently overcome obstacles and live your life with purpose. With my experience in behavioral health and business, I’m here to guide you in achieving your dreams.

Purpose, Plan, and Progress
By following this 3-step process, I successfully:
Changed from working a stressful job in pharmacy management to become a writer and author. I love what I am doing!
Established a daily exercise plan and now feel as healthy as I ever have. And my doctor agrees.
Studied finance and budgeting and worked out a plan to become debt free. It feels great!
Moved from a big old house into a very nice apartment to simplify our lives and free up time for more meaningful activities. It was a smart decision.
