Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my blog. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)

…or something like this:

The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickies to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

Project Management

“Shiraz is a strong technical leader, possessing not only solid development capabilities within the game and 3D fields, but is also a talented leader, able to direct his teams effectively while enlisting their sense of ownership and loyalty. He was a pleasure to work with and I often relied on him to bring me information on the general “health” of his teams, and this information was of great value in developing effective employee relations programs. Shiraz would add tremendous value to any technical team!” – Christina Kerekes, Lead SE Talent Scout — Global Sourcing at Electronic Arts

“Shiraz is one of those rare project managers who not only understand what the client needs are but also has the technical insight as to how to get the project done. His project management skills are superb and he keeps things simple, even for the most complicated projects, so that everyone gets a better grasp of the project. He is an asset to any project/company and it will be a pleasure to work with him again.” – Furrukh Qureshi, DBA at Bluetree Direct – Pitney Bowes Division

“Shiraz is one of those few managers who has the best of both worlds, both technical insight and great project management skills. He would be an asset to any company that takes him on.” – Krunal Patel, Game Developer at Lateral Punks

“Shiraz’s enthusiasm for his work in game design shows in both the process and the end results. His ability to blend his understanding of what people enjoy and what is involved in making those aspects of game-play a reality in both technical terms and management terms is second to none. His designs are sensible, practical and most importantly, enjoyable. He has an artistic flair and a drive to make his visions come to life. I would enjoy working with him again and highly recommend him.” – Shannon McKenzie, Game Developer at GTNA Solutions Corp.

“Shiraz is always highly focused on project design and team management. He keeps up with the day to day progress of each person on his team and is always available to help clear up any issues that arise. His attention to detail in project design is second to none, and his passion for his work is an inspiration to everyone on his team. I would definitely work with him again.” – Eric van Beurden, Software Engineer at Transgaming Technologies

“Shiraz is one of those people who approach game design as both the creator and the player. While coming up with innovative designs and stories he’s always thinking about the interface and the fun factor. The whole team gets drawn in by his attitude which can make building the game almost as fun as playing it. I’d love to work on another project with him.” – Norina Asuro, Interactive Producer, Grip Ltd.

Shiraz is a great person to have on your team. His positive personality, attention to detail and technical know allows for his projects to run smooth. As a Project Manager, he really understood the teams needs while holding the ability to deliver the clients expectations. I’d gladly jump on the opportunity to work with him again. – Norina (Asuro) Jones, Interactive Producer, Grip Ltd.

“Shiraz is an exemplary problem solver who excels under pressure. He has a knack for formulating elegant solutions to complex problems. His passion for his work is unparalleled and infectious.” – Vicki Ferguson, Software Engineer at Electronic Arts

Shiraz is one of those few project managers that understands not only the schedules, resources, and budgets of a project, but the technical and personal challenges as well. I have worked with him on a variety of projects and was impressed at how he transitioned to each one smoothly, adapting to the new environment. He is a great leader who is an inspiration to any team he is on. He would be a great addition to any project team. – Ron Neve-Bar, Business Manager, Clearview Interactive

Life Coaching

Before I started working with you, life was good, but not great. Business was good. but no where near where I wanted it to be. As a holistic health therapist and business owner, I had big dreams, but seem to lack the faith and steps to achieve them…. until I started working with you.

You have a unique way of gently pushing me forward towards my goals. You and the mastermind group held me accountable for getting things done on a weekly basis, which I so badly needed! This aspect alone of your life coaching was invaluable, yet you continue to give me so much more.
It is through your understanding and compassion that I understand myself, my thoughts and beliefs in a new way. I am able to clearly see how I was holding myself back and because of that can now move forward and achieve things I never knew were possible.

You have helped me shape my future to one that is bright and success-filled. It feels soooo great to achieve the goals I am setting for myself and my business (at a very rapid pace!!). The success of my business has filtered into all the other aspects of my life as well – my relationship, home life, health, happiness, self esteem & confidence… It’s like a complete “life-makeover” for me!

It still blows my mind how much I have grown and accomplished in such a short time! I am most proud of how many new clients and business opportunities have come my way since starting to work with you! I feel much more spiritually-wealthy as well, which brings a happy balance to my life.

I can’t thank you enough for what you have given me (and my family) through your life coaching. Although I have learned this is what I have given myself… I’ve done all this, but with your support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are a true inspiration and I look forward to creating an even more beautiful life with your help!

With gratitude and appreciation,

Lindsay

I met Shiraz exactly one year prior to when the Mastermind group coaching was first introduced into my life. In hind sight, I realize that it was at this time that I was ready to start changing my life. Thus, the Coach appeared! It has been six months since I started the coaching, and I have noticed a tremendous difference in my life. I let go of a job that no longer served its purpose, am increasing my knowledge base and becoming more spiritually aware of living a life of and on purpose. Shiraz has been a fundamental part of my realization that taking responsibility (both in all that is wonderful and all that still needs to be accomplished) is essential in finding one’s life path. Shiraz will not only help you find what your inner desires are, but will assist in how you can achieve your best life.

Shiraz hand-picked each member, bringing each of us together in what would’ve been an unlikely meeting of the minds. I quicky realized that even though we didn’t know each other and we were across the country, we would each find our way to creating a life of abundance through sharing aspects of our lives with those experiencing a similar state in life. Through connecting and sharing our goals and ambitions, we have not only become each others’ support systems but friends. I am very grateful for Shiraz and for his bringing together a wonderful set of friends through the Mastermind.

I don’t think I could’ve done this without you Shiraz! Thank you for being a part of my life and for being a wonderful coach and friend :)

I’ve spent my entire life “getting by”, whether it was financially, emotionally, mentally, physically or romantically. I always assumed that that was enough and that I could never achieve the levels of happiness and success that I saw in other people. I always assumed that people like me were meant to be forever average — neither horrible nor exemplary — stuck in the middle of the population, never really making their mark on the world in any real lasting way. Then there was death in the family, the ending of a relationship, a bout of depression and my world turned upside-down.

When Shiraz proposed the Mastermind group, I was in the lowest state I’d been in years. The Mastermind group sounded like just what I needed to turn my attitude around, and it has been…but it’s been so much more.

The tips and encouragement from Shiraz and the support from the rest of the group has helped me see my true potential and I have made real and true improvements in my life. Since joining the group, my self-esteem has improved by leaps and bounds, my goals have become clearer and I am no longer aimless. I can see what I want and feel how much I want it, but now I have the tools, support and self-confidence to achieve it. To say that Shiraz and the Mastermind group have helped me is such an understatement as to be insulting — they have helped me turn my life around. I feel a new passion for life and my job and have been rewarded with a promotion at work and meeting the love of my life, among many, many other things. Keeping my eyes on the prize, setting short-term and long-term goals, using the training and mindset I’ve received from the Mastermind group, I’ve developed a new zest for my future and am no longer content to be “average”. I can’t say enough positive things about this program!

I would say that my life has had little direction. I’ve never really set goals for myself and the ones that I did weren’t difficult to achieve. I honestly felt that I needed some change in my life because I wasn’t truly happy with where I was and I didn’t know where I was going due to lack of direction. I was truly lost. I wanted change but didn’t know where to start.

I’m certain that my wanting and needing a change brought me in contact with Shiraz. He contacted me and asked if I would be interested in doing a Mastermind group with him and other friends of his. I was slightly uneasy but I knew that Shiraz wouldn’t steer me wrong. I would honestly say that it has changed my life. I went from wandering aimlessly through life to having goals and passion for them. I’ve achieved most of the goals that I originally set out to achieve in less than a year.

I was a heavy smoker (20-25 cigarettes a day). I had a horrible diet. I was out of shape and truly unhappy. As of the time of me writing this letter, it has been over 14 weeks since I’ve had a cigarette. I’ve been going to the gym 5-6 times a week. I’m in the process of moving to a new job that will allow me to spend more time with my daughter who currently lives in another province. My goals when I originally started coaching with Shiraz were to quit smoking, get in the best shape of my life (which I am), get a new job that pays me more and allows me to spend more time with my daughter. Once I’ve completed ALL of these goals (which is only 2-3 weeks away), I’m going to be setting a whole new set of goals. I would have to say that without Shiraz and the support of the Mastermind group, I wouldn’t have achieved these goals and put me in the right direction for a better, healthier and more successful life.
