Hello wonderful world! I go by my patron saint's name which is Augustine but just call me Gus for short. I've served as a mindfulness coach and a corporate trainer but no matter what i'll always be a philosoper/idea guy at heart. I absolutely love world travel and facilitating group discussions. I am most passionate about art, design and personal growth work. Currently honing skills in systems analysis and development. Come along with me on a journey to more success!
