Tasteful Passion: ADHD, Life in Motion
Denis Warde has always been in motion. Growing up the second of five boys in a busy California household, with a brain he wouldn't understand for decades, Denis found his first anchor in surfing — a passion that consumed his teenage years and carried him into professional competition. When the waves weren't enough, he turned to basketball, tennis, and golf, each sport a new way of channelling a mind that never sat still. A long career in property management gave his ADHD brain what it needed most: urgency, variety, and genuine human stakes. Then retirement arrived, and the silence hit hard. Diagnosed with ADHD in his late forties and determined to live without pharmaceuticals, Denis now turns his restless energy toward understanding himself — through writing, podcasting, and the ongoing, deliberate work of building a life with purpose after the whistle blows.
