    I’m a proud husband and dad to two amazing adult kids. Over the years, I’ve coached youth sports and now enjoy mentoring young lawyers honing their trial advocacy skills. Sharing success tips—gleaned from both wins and missteps—has always been a passion of mine.

    After decades of practicing law, running businesses, and working with startups, I’ve noticed patterns—simple, effective principles that top performers use to thrive. That’s why I wrote Power Moves (and a few other books), packed with actionable insights to help adults level up in their careers and lives.

    Once upon a time in the bustling town of Brightville, there lived a curious little squirrel named Penny. Penny had the biggest dream in all the forest—to build a magical acorn bakery where every animal could enjoy her special “Nutty Cupcakes.”

    But there was a tiny problem. Penny loved making plans so much that she never actually started. Her treehouse was bursting with notes, drawings, recipes, and charts, but the bakery? Nowhere to be seen.

    One sunny morning, Penny’s best friend, Max the mouse, scampered over. “What are you waiting for, Penny? Let’s get started!”

    “But it’s not perfect yet!” Penny said, pointing to a pile of scribbles. “I’m still figuring out where the cupcake

    Once upon a time, in the bustling town of Chatterville, lived a curious little boy named Bobby. Bobby loved to talk—about his favorite books, his adventures, and even the funny shapes he found in the clouds. But there was one thing Bobby wasn’t so great at: listening.

    One sunny afternoon, Bobby’s best friend, Mia, came over with exciting news. “Guess what, Bobby! I found—”

    “Oh! Let me tell you about the giant dragon I saw in my dream last night!” Bobby interrupted, waving his arms wildly.

    Mia frowned. “But Bobby, I wanted to—”

    In the heart of Whimsy Woods, Ollie Owl was known for being the wisest creature around. Animals would come from far and wide to seek his advice. But one day, something curious happened, and it all started with Mia Mouse.

    Mia scurried up to Ollie’s tree. “Ollie, Ollie, I need your advice!” she squeaked. “I can’t decide if I should plant daisies or sunflowers in my garden. What do you think?”

    Ollie fluffed his feathers and thought carefully. “Sunflowers grow tall and bright, but daisies are cozy and cheerful. Which makes your heart happiest, Mia?”

    One sunny morning, Pippa’s favorite treehouse was covered in twinkling lights. But who put them there? She ran to her friend Benny, the bear who fixed things around town. “Did you hang those lights?” she asked.

    High above the sparkling sea, Sammy the Seagull dreamed of doing something no seagull had ever done before: flying across the Great Windy Ocean. It was a daring idea! The other seagulls said it couldn’t be done.

    “Why bother, Sammy?” squawked Pete, the biggest seagull in the flock. “The wind is too wild, and the waves are too high. It’s impossible!”

    But Sammy didn’t believe in “impossible.” She believed in persistence—keeping at something, even when it got hard. “If I keep trying and make little changes along the way, I can figure it out,” Sammy chirped confidently.

    Deep in the forest by the sparkling Creekling River, lived Benny the beaver, the best river dam builder in all the land. Benny loved stacking sticks and mud to make strong, sturdy dams. “No river’s too wild for my work!” he’d say proudly.

    But one morning, Benny woke up to a big problem. The river had changed course overnight! The water was rushing down a new path, far from his dam. “Oh no!” cried Benny’s friends. “The river is gone! What will we do now?”

    Benny scratched his head with his tail. “Hmm,” he said. “We can’t move the river back, but maybe we can move us instead!”

    “No one ever listens to me,” she sighed one afternoon after her latest idea for a super-speed scooter was ignored at school. “What’s the point of sharing if no one cares?”

    That evening, Ellie wandered into her family’s attic, a treasure chest of forgotten things. Dust danced in the sunlight as she rummaged through boxes. Suddenly, she spotted something gleaming in a corner—a colorful hat covered in tiny, shimmering stars.

    In a charming little village called Cheerful Hollow, a clever fox named Sunny lived under the shade of a grand oak tree. Sunny’s orange fur sparkled like sunshine, but lately, her sparkle had dimmed. Every time something didn’t go as planned, Sunny would groan, “Why does everything bad happen to me?”

    One misty morning, while Sunny sat grumbling by the pond, her best friend Benny the Bunny bounced over. Benny’s ears flopped with every hop, and his smile was as bright as a freshly baked carrot pie.

His bridges were sturdy, safe, and beautiful, connecting all the forest animals across rivers and streams. Benny took great pride in his work, always making sure every plank was perfect.

    But not everyone was happy about Benny’s success.

    High up in an old oak tree, Woody the Woodpecker watched Benny hammer away at yet another bridge. Woody loved to build too, but his work was… different. While Benny’s bridges stood strong and straight, Woody’s creations were quirky, wobbly, and, well, a little messy. Some animals liked them, but most preferred Benny’s reliable bridges.

    On the sunny banks of Willow Waddle Creek lived Ally the Alligator, a curious and clever young gator. Ally loved helping her animal friends with ideas for games and projects. But one day, something happened that made her heart feel heavy.

    “Hey, everyone!” chirped Benny the Beaver, “I built this new raft idea all by myself!”

    Ally’s jaw dropped. That was my idea! she thought. Benny had forgotten to mention that Ally had helped him design it! Her tail swished angrily in the water.

    All day, Ally’s tummy felt tight, like she’d swallowed a spiky pinecone. She snapped at her brother for no reason, and when bedtime came, she couldn’t sleep. The unfairness of it all kept playing in her head.

    In the frosty lands of Frosty Bay, a little penguin named Pippin dreamed of big adventures. Pippin loved to make plans and build things, but lately, everything felt like one big chore. “Why is this so boring?” Pippin grumbled one morning, staring at a long to-do list.

    As Pippin sat by the icy shore, feeling glum, a puffin named Tally swooped down. Tally always seemed cheerful, and today was no different. “What’s the matter, Pippin?” Tally asked, tilting her head.

    “I have so much to do, but it’s all work, work, work!” Pippin sighed. “How can I ever enjoy this?”

    With a twinkle in her eye, Tally pulled out a shiny, golden compass. “This, my friend, is the Magic Compass of Fun. It doesn’t j

    High in the cliffs of Windy Ridge lived Harvey the Hawk, a young bird with big dreams. Harvey loved to soar across the sky, his wings cutting through the clouds. But while other hawks hunted or played, Harvey often perched on his favorite rock, dreaming.

    One breezy morning, Harvey looked down at the forest below. “Why do we hawks only stick to the cliffs?” he wondered. “What if we explored the whole valley? Imagine what we could find!”

    His sister, Hattie, flapped over, laughing. “Harvey, hawks don’t leave the cliffs! That’s how it’s always been.”

    “But what if we could?” Harvey asked, his golden eyes shining. “What if there’s more waiting for us out there?”

    Hattie shook her head, but Harvey’s heart was set. He

    In the forest of Evergreen Hollow, a young bear named Benny was about to start a brand-new adventure. His family had just moved to the forest, and today was his first day at Woodland Academy. Benny was nervous—what if nobody liked him?

    Mama Bear gave him a hug before he left. “Remember, Benny,” she said, “a good first impression is like planting a seed. It helps friendships grow!”

    Benny nodded, but he wasn’t sure how to make a good first impression. He asked his wise old neighbor, Mr. Owl, for advice.

    “Ah, Benny,” said Mr. Owl, adjusting his spectacles. “It’s simple. Start with three things: a friendly smile, kind words, and a helpful paw. Those will show everyone the real you!”

    In the heart of a magical forest, where trees whispered secrets to the wind, there lived a curious dove named Daisy. Daisy wasn’t just any dove—her feathers sparkled faintly in the sunlight, as if carrying a secret magic of their own. Daisy loved helping others, but one day, she learned that being kind wasn’t always simple.

    One sunny morning, Daisy flew to the Sparkling Stream to meet her friend, Ruby the squirrel. Ruby was in charge of gathering acorns for the Forest Festival. But when Daisy arrived, the acorns weren’t ready, and Ruby looked worried.

    “Oh no, Ruby,” Daisy cooed, “What happened?”

    “I… I got distracted playing hide-and-seek with the bunnies,” Ruby admitted, her tail drooping. “Now I’ll never fi

    In the town of Sunnyvale, a curious girl named Maddy loved collecting stories. She believed every person, every place, and every moment had something wonderful to share. One bright morning, Maddy heard the villagers talking about a mysterious mountain called “The Mountain of More.”

    “Legend says it’s full of treasures,” said Mr. Puddle, the baker. “But only those who believe there’s enough for everyone can find them.”

    Maddy’s eyes sparkled. “Enough for everyone?” she asked. “That sounds amazing! I’ll climb the mountain and see for myself.”

    Her best friend, Benny the bunny, twitched his nose. “Be careful, Maddy. What if someone else takes all the treasures before you get there?”
