    Twenty years of service

    I am a retired Marine who served more than 20 years on active duty, much of it overseas and near San Diego, before retiring in Seattle.

  • 02

    Drawn to the coast

    Since retiring in 2012, I have lived mainly in the Virgin Islands and Florida, always staying close to the ocean.

  • 03

    A second calling

    After more than a decade in sales, I discovered massage therapy and found it the most rewarding skill I have learned.

  • 04

    Away from the table

    My wife and I enjoy family, SCUBA, Dragon Boat racing, the beach, movies, and great food, alongside a guitar collection and a home studio.

02 / The approach

One flat rate, fully customized

Instead of a menu of options and upsells, every appointment is a single tailored session at a flat rate.

  • 01

    Blended technique

    Classical Swedish, deep tissue, neuromuscular and shiatsu technique, combined according to what your body presents on the day.

  • 02

    Included throughout

    Hot stones, warm towels and essential oils are part of the session rather than paid extras.

  • 03

    Sixty or ninety minutes

    Bodywork that is personal, restorative and built around what you want and what your body actually needs.

  • 04

    Nothing cookie cutter

    The session follows your body, not the clock and not a fixed list of packages.

03 / The practice

Why I started
Time Well Spent

After several years of working within models that frustrated me, I founded Time Well Spent Massage in August 2024. The goal was straightforward: to become a premier practice in Southwest Florida by pairing exceptional service with genuine value.

Time is precious to everyone, and aside from your health, little else is more valuable. I encourage you to take time for yourself, and I will do everything I can to ensure that when you leave, it feels very well spent.

A well-delivered massage can rejuvenate your spirit, lower your cortisol, and leave you moving noticeably better. My hope is to become a regular part of your self-care routine and your wider healthy lifestyle.
