THE Return To Happiness...ThE MOVIE

 This website is your source for success principles, positive energy ,motivation,laughter and TRAVEL. I discuss some spiritual wisdom I've picked up along my journey as well.  I update this website frequently so check back often for new material! 

 Return to Happiness is a project that starts with a story about my life. It starts with me as a boy that left home at a young age to pursue hockey greatness. Through a bad turn of events, I found myself in a federal detention center for nearly 16 months for smuggling marijuana into the United States. Through adversity and a willingness to never accept failure, my life has led me on a journey to self acceptance, love and a spiritual transformation to happiness. I've now found my life purpose, and that is to share my wisdom and teachings with the world with an open mind and heart. On this site you will find lots of videos that are posted often, each different and unique all in an attempt to help people reach a happier more successful life. Travel and laughter is a major part of my life and I've been so blessed to experience many different cultures over the years. Return to Happiness is in post production of the documentary which starts in Vancouver BC, then off to many different countries in Southeast Asia. It was a wild adventure that shows amazing real life situations and culture intertwined with my life story. We tapped  into the human spirit, and found what makes people from all over the world truly happy. I believe that laughter is the best medicine, so our show will be filled with humor as well. Little did I know that a bike ride across Cambodia for the Somaly Mam Foundations,and visiting of some orphans would change my life and others I met on this journey forever.  I'm so grateful to be a part of this positive project and sharing the adventure with as many people as possible. I'm so thankful to all the people that have inspired me, now my dream is to inspire you!

 This website will also have updates on my new book "Return to Happiness" which will be released sometime in 2012. Have a look around and stay tuned! This book is based on a true story

Look forward to connecting with all who truly desire a more harmonious planet.
