Trained as a dentist, I spent years mastering precision and discipline — and listening closely to people’s stories. Patients and friends often told me I had a way with words, that I asked questions which made them feel truly seen. They also noticed my self-reflective nature, something I carried quietly but consistently.

Helping others always came naturally. But eventually, I had to face a hard truth: I couldn’t help anyone until I learned how to help myself.

I had built what looked like the perfect life. Then it collapsed — the house, the career, the relationships. All of it gone. And I was left with the hardest questions:
Who am I?
What matters?
Can I rebuild?

Welcome, I'm Dave

That breaking point became a turning point. Even in crisis, a part of me was still learning — still searching for what could be made useful. I knew that one day I would share what I discovered, to help others facing their own collapse or crossroads.

From that journey emerged what I now call The Dreamer’s Framework: nine simple elements to bring a dream into reality, test what’s true, and build a life steady enough to carry it.

Today, my work is consulting. But more than that, it’s listening, guiding, and helping people move from burnout to blueprint — from feeling lost to living aligned in the heart of their dream. Because I’ve been there. I know what it means to rebuild.

And I know that what once feels impossible can, step by step, become inevitable.

I’ve rebuilt.
Now I help others do the same — one person, one story at a time.
