Unlimited Heart

On a cold and cozy December night in 2018, I thought I was dying. As a husband, father, business owner, athlete, innovator, and AFib patient, I was confronting massive cardiac trauma just in time for Christmas. In this breakout memoir—Unlimited Heart: How to Transform Your Pain Into Purpose—I recount my dance with death and the events of my life leading up to this fateful, health-defining moment, as well as the shifts in business perspective and priorities that followed.

Unlimited Heart: How to Transform Your Pain Into Purpose is a three-part journey chronicling my life from childhood to adulthood—from a haunted young boy to a man led entirely by his heart, both physically and metaphorically. This memoir captures the emotions that accompany the roller coaster ride of entrepreneurship and heart health, exploring the battle between the power of the heart and the mind and the choices we make that determine their symbiosis.

Unlimited Heart takes readers on a forty-year journey, traversing the tight budgets of an eleven-member household, the financial burdens strapped to a dream, and the sale of a multi-million-dollar startup. It is a raw portrayal of a boy grappling with his own demons in the midst of his dreams, and a man who turns those dreams into a clear, entrepreneurial vision—a vision threatened by medicine, technology, and surgeries.

Unlimited Heart is that transformative book for readers navigating the great unknown of business innovation amidst the fast-paced world of an ever-changing global economy, as well as those facing the threat of cardiac health in an industry that often fails patients both physiologically and psychologically. It interrogates assumptions about what it means to “live with heart” and breaks through the limitations of the mind, allowing readers to step into the shoes of someone (myself) who has test-ran so that they can go sprint.
