Navigating midlife has harder than I’d imagined.
what about you?

If you’re like me, you’ve chosen to live in Santa Fe because it’s a land of abundant pleasures: creative inspiration, natural beauty, spiritual richness, and a diverse and fascinating population.

And if you’re like many of the gay men who now call Santa Fe home, you’re probably navigating the slightly choppy waters of what it means to be navigating later midlife.

The incredible decades of our 50s, 60s and 70s can – and should – be years of celebrating the achievement of getting so far in life and aligning around what matters to you most as you look ahead

This is why I’ve Created the Mastering Late Midlife Mastermind

Ever had any of these thoughts Cross your mind?

√ How did my health become such a HUGE focus of my life?
√ What kind of community do I want around me as I get older?
√ How can I look at my body without getting bummed out?
√ Who am I anyway? What is my identity at this stage of life?
√ What does a healthy relationship with money look like?
√ My sex life could use some invigoration. Is that even possible at this stage?
√ How can spirituality (religious or otherwise) serve me moving forward?
√ I want to tap into my creative side. How can I unlock it?

You’re not alone in wondering about these. Whether you have the answers or are sitting with the questions, the Mastering Late Midlife Mastermind is a great place to share.

What is the Mastering Late Midlife Mastermind?

Over the course of 4 months – September to December 2025 – we’ll gather weekly for two hours to share deeply, listen powerfully, and support each other in navigating the changing landscape of life from 50 and beyond.

I’ll provide the structure and facilitation of the group. You’ll bring your experience, your insight, your questions and your energy to make this group great.

After getting to know each other in a fast and deep way, we’ll dive into the topics that are most common for guys like us. You’’ll have a reflection exercise before each session. The in-person discussion will be where we go deep, sharing questions, offering insights, and deepening our connection to one another.

By the end of the 10 weeks, you’ll build new relationships, gain new knowledge, synthesize ideas into your already deep wisdom, and feel invigorated about what’s ahead.

“Getting old is like climbing a mountain;
You get a little out of breath, but the view is much better!”

— Ingrid Bergman

Why Come to Santa Fe?
(as if these photos aren’t reason enough)

I moved to Santa Fe in late 2023—after nearly 40 years in New York City—for the same reasons I’d love for you to visit: Santa Fe is unlike anywhere else. With its expansive skies, striking beauty, thriving creative scene, rich cultural blend, and deeply spiritual soul, this high desert town offers something rare and powerful.

It’s stunning in all four seasons.

For centuries—starting with the Indigenous peoples who first lived here —Northern New Mexico has been known as a place of transformation, healing, and energy. Many consider it a vortex, a landscape that stirs the spirit and clarifies the mind.

Just a few days in this enchanted region can leave you feeling renewed and inspired. And with that as your backdrop—plus a present, curious, and deeply connected coach by your side—you’re bound to gain clarity on what’s calling you forward now.
