It was 19 years ago today, that I came to this great country the United States of America from beautiful Greece.

I consider myself a very lucky person to have had the wonderful opportunity of experiencing two different worlds and two different cultures. Even though, I admit, at times I was scared to do so, I’ve gone after my dreams and aspirations. I’ve experienced successes and breakthroughs.  I’ve also experienced challenges with disheartening setbacks, which I’ve learned can be invaluable experiences that carry gems of knowledge and hidden opportunities.

When you can create the opportunity to do so, few things in life can be as rewarding and fulfilling as going after your aspirations or even your simplest of goals. Even though the path to making them happen is not always clear and success may be difficult to attain, I believe this to be true. Definitive vision and purpose, decisiveness, heart, and intentional action are all some of the key principles that pave the way to our success.

It’s a special day today.

I get to celebrate my great fortune for having wonderful friends, amazing parents, and a loving family. I celebrate my incredibly supportive wife, Kristina, and the greatest love of our lives, our four-year-old daughter, Aleka. 

While I continue to grow and evolve, I’m grateful that during this journey to be able to share my knowledge and experiences with the world. I’m grateful for having the privilege to work with great clients and support them in the pursuit of their personal and professional dreams and aspirations.

I’m grateful for all of the times I can inspire people and make a difference in their lives.

It’s a special day today.  It’s been a fantastic 19-year journey so far. I look forward to tomorrow with all of the opportunities it holds. 

Thank you for joining in my journey and my celebration today.
