ABOUT THE AUTHOR: After traveling extensively in Europe, Asia, Australia, Southern Africa, and North America over the course of ten years, Toby Estler moved to the United States from his native England in 1994, amidst virulent rumors of an expulsion personally demanded by then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.  He does all that he can to perpetuate those rumors.

Since landing in the United States, he has grown up and become a husband, father, author, poet, seminar leader, and life coach.  He holds a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica and is a member of the Los Angeles Poets and Writers Collective.  He also makes a truly remarkable leek and potato soup. 

Blending well over a decade’s management and leadership experience in sales and marketing with the additional strengths and qualities developed through running (as well as some very particular skills learned at Her Majesty’s pleasure in Britain’s Wormwood Scrubs Prison), Estler now offers inspirational life coaching to individuals and groups in both personal and business settings.  

One of the millions of runners that head out each day in search of peace, meaning, and inspiration, he can currently be found running along the trails, roads and mountains of the Pacific Northwest. He lives in Gig Harbor, Washington with his wife Teresa and daughter Hayden.
