Mastering You From The Inside Out

SKIP HAS LIVED a life full of opportunities of a lifetime at full throttle, following his maybe wrong but never in doubt philosophy. A life full of extraordinary successes and accomplishments, devastating tragedies, and spectacular mistakes and failures. All of which he owns, has embraced, is grateful for and from which he has learned many valuable lessons. Both personally and professionally. Skip was raised by his figurative "grandmother" on $12.50 per month of child support in a small town in Western Pennsylvania after his parents' third and final divorce. He was the first person from his small town to graduate from an Ivy League college, where he excelled at both football and track as a linebacker and javelin thrower. Skip had an accomplished career, building and managing a $750 million venture capital company. He then became the CEO of an essentially bankrupt company, commercializing new medical science and a revolutionary new device for the treatment of drug resistant epilepsy and severe depression which improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people and created over $1 billion in shareholder value. Skip holds the distinction of receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Epilepsy Foundation while simultaneously being labeled as "the most combative CEO in America" by a Wall Street TV personality.
