During college, my path took unexpected turns. I was involved in a fraternity and later became its president, only to shift directions completely and immerse myself in the world of music as a nightclub DJ. Organizing events and meeting people from all walks of life gave me a deep appreciation for connection and communication. That experience naturally led me into marketing, and after graduating, I spent nearly a decade working in digital marketing before transitioning into software development. Along the way, I moved across the country, experienced the highs and lows of relationships, and ultimately decided to step away from the corporate world to create something of my own—something that truly aligns with my values and purpose.

Like many, my journey has had its struggles. I grew up without knowing my biological father, and my mother faced significant challenges with her mental health. With multiple marriages and relationships taking priority in her life, I often felt like an outsider, unsure of where I belonged.

For years, I wrestled with feelings of self-worth, struggling to accept myself fully. It impacted so many areas of my life—the way I showed up in relationships, the way I pursued goals, and the way I carried myself in the world. It’s hard to be truly present when you're constantly at odds with yourself, always searching for external validation.

Mental health has been a lifelong challenge for me. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety as a teenager, and there were times when life felt overwhelming, even unbearable. I carried a lot of anger, a lot of resentment—toward myself, toward others, toward the world. And yet, even in the darkest moments, something kept me moving forward. Maybe it was fear, maybe it was love for the people who cared about me, or maybe it was the hope that things could get better.

I’ve spent years trying to make sense of it all—why we struggle, why we suffer, and how we can find meaning in the chaos. There was a time when I believed I had to “fix” myself to be worthy of happiness, but I’ve come to see things differently. Growth isn’t about fixing; it’s about understanding, accepting, and evolving.

Life has a way of teaching us through experience. My own journey—filled with challenges, setbacks, and moments of clarity—has given me a deep appreciation for the struggles we all face. I’ve learned that strength isn’t about hiding our pain; it’s about facing it with honesty and compassion. I’ve also come to see that the world isn’t as random or unfair as it sometimes feels—there are patterns, principles, and underlying truths that help make sense of it all.

I know what it’s like to struggle, to feel lost, to question your place in the world. And I also know that clarity, peace, and purpose are within reach. My goal is to share what I’ve learned—not because I have all the answers, but because I believe we can all help each other navigate this journey.

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to working together to create a life that feels more intentional, meaningful, and fulfilling.
