Entrepreneur, Yogi, Teacher, Traveler, Cook

This personal website is a platform for me to share my thoughts about life, love and the pursuit of happiness.

Much of my time is spent serving in the capacity of Director of Serenity at the Inns of Aurora on Cayuga Lake.

I founded and still own a design and marketing firm — Coburn Design, Inc. in 1992. While I am still involved it is in the able hands of Chris Madden and Natalie Kimbrough. I also teach yoga under the brand Eka. You can find out more about my teaching at Eka's web site.

I founded my design and marketing company, Coburn Design in 1992. I excel at concept development, art direction, tourism design, editorial design, as well as marketing development and assessment. I also provide marketing coaching and consulting. I am a yoga teacher, group facilitator and public speaker.
