An Acclaimed Actor and Coach.
What connects it all?
A deep love for the power of story—and an unshakable belief in its ability to create miraculous change.
What will your story be?
Will you settle for the one handed to you—by your parents, society, those who doubt you? Or will you reclaim it, reshape it, and make it unstoppable?
Growing up in a Bengali-Canadian family that looked "successful" on the outside but was unraveling behind closed doors due to my mother’s schizophrenia, I learned early not to trust appearances. If I wanted something real, I had to create it myself.
Acting was my first escape.
At 14, I stumbled through a Shakespeare monologue and felt something unexpected—not fear, but freedom. My high school mentor, Doug Floen, introduced me to transformation through performance. By 16, I was playing Othello in a 1940s jazz-infused production with Elliott Freeston and Julie Ackerman.
It unlocked something in me—you don’t have to stay confined to who you were told you are. You can become who you need to be to step into the life you want.
From Acting to Writing to Coaching—A Journey in Reinvention
Pursuing acting in my 20s left me broke but resourceful. My mother, a former English teacher, drilled writing into me—two stories a day, no exceptions. That discipline led to freelance journalism, where I uncovered stories of lawyers-turned-cigar magnates, modern-day witches, and the murder of Indian immigrants authorities ignored.
Through writing, I learned the raw power of narrative—how the stories we tell ourselves can build or break us. That shaped my novel, The Isolation Door (2014), based on my life with a mentally ill parent and the choice between living your own life or staying a lifelong caretaker. What’s the right answer?
That same question—How do you reclaim your life?—led me to career coaching.
Helping Leaders Rewrite Their Stories
Since 2014, I’ve worked with 2,500+ leaders worldwide, helping them break free from a broken job market, land dream roles, and multiply their income. Getting entrepreneurial with your career isn’t optional—it’s the only way to see real results. I teach people how to do it in a way that plays to their strengths—without the hustle-culture nonsense.
That work has been incredible, but something new is calling. The conversation is shifting. The story is evolving. And I’m ready to tell it.
What’s Next?
Being a dad to Mickey, Henry, and Teddy (11, 8 and 6) feels like the end of one journey and the beginning of something even more meaningful. Family will always be my ultimate why- the reason it’s worth breaking out of that comfort zone for.
Wherever you find me, know this: Your story matters more than you know. Claim it, communicate it, and stand by it proudly.
