About The Second Half Coach
Who we are
The Second Half Coach was founded in 2007. I conceived the concept after I laid my father to rest following a four-year confinement in a nursing home with Alzheimer’s. I am a student of life, a thinker, and inventor and that experience had a profound impact on me.
I made one decision immediately - death in a nursing home would not be my fate. Independence is one of human’s strongest desires. This is a bold claim to be sure, but after immersing myself in the areas of mortality, aging, fitness, nutrition, critical thinking, and eventually becoming a Functional Therapist, I am more certain than ever that I will fulfill my promise. After 19 years I am now ready to help others who share in this desire. You can find out more about how, in the Services tab and more about my capabilities in the about Daniel tab.
I need to say something to clarify my views as described above. The commitment I made to not dying in a nursing home is something I take very seriously. In my personal opinion, and experience of looking for nursing homes and spending a lot of time in one, I can’t think of many worse places to die. Granted, there are worse places to be held in, such as prison or prisoner of war, but trust me, I’m doing my best to avoid those too. I have been in high end, middle, and low-end care centers. They can do a lot to make them look attractive and comfortable, but when the sun goes down and visiting hours are over, everything changes.

One of the most important things I can do for you is wake you up in time to have a shot at lifelong independence. The desire is one thing, but it takes education, a strong will, and discipline. Aging is an extreme event and the more time you have to train for it the better. This is an extreme position, and I certainly realize it won’t be for everybody. But I promise to have something valuable for you, regardless of the path you choose. Life is just too short, too precious, and too hard, to not put some serious thought into your second half. I would like to help. Use your hard earned money to remain in your own home.

The Goal
KEEP THIS OR TAKE IT OUT
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
