The LifeScapes process is a commitment, and it’s a big one that will take a lot a dedication.  My commitment is to provide you with accountability, understanding and support.

LifeScapes began as a personal journey for my wife and I. As empty-nesters living in a large home in suburban Dallas, we confronted the tough choices: where should we live, what is our purpose in the next stage of life, and how do we maximize our financial return in the process. With our children, family and friends spread across the US and aboard, we set our to apply our knowledge of systematic thinking, detailed data analysises, and understanding of the latest research on healthy lifestyles to our own LifeScapes design. Through my book, LifeScapes, we now make our approach available to others. 

A professional demographer and social scientist, I have a 35+ year career in consumer and marketing analytics. I previously served as Chief Analytics Officer of a major media company, prior to running a market research technology startup. LifeScapes is the latest step in my career, bringing skills gained from this experience to bear on personal lifestyle planning.
