About Me
I’m not here because I have it all figured out.
I’m here because I’ve lived through the questions—about mental health, identity, purpose, and what it really means to show up for the people you love.
Finding steadiness in the middle of real life.
I’m a husband, a dad, a lifelong sports fan, and someone who has spent a lot of time quietly trying to hold everything together.
This page isn’t about a perfectly packaged success story. It’s about what it looks like to keep showing up when life feels heavy, uncertain, or unfinished.
Mental Health & Real Life
For years, I’ve navigated depression, anxiety, and OCD—often while trying to be strong for everyone else.
Some seasons were loud and overwhelming. Others were quiet but heavy. I learned quickly that “doing the right things” doesn’t always bring peace, and that mental health isn’t something you fix once and move on from.
What helped most was honesty. Naming what was hard. Letting go of the pressure to have it all together. And learning that caring for my mental health wasn’t selfish—it was necessary.
Fatherhood, Marriage, and Showing Up
I care deeply about being a present husband and a good dad.
That hasn’t meant perfection. It’s meant learning how to show up even when my mind is busy, my energy is low, or I feel unsure of myself. It’s meant choosing patience, presence, and connection in small, imperfect ways.
Family has taught me that growth doesn’t require having all the answers—just the willingness to stay engaged and keep learning.
Work, Identity, and Starting Over
Getting laid off was a gut punch.
It stripped away routines, confidence, and the sense of identity that comes with a steady job. But it also forced me to slow down and ask harder questions about what actually matters and what kind of work I want to do moving forward.
That season became less about chasing titles and more about aligning my work with my values, creativity, and desire to serve others in meaningful ways.
Faith, Sports, and Things to Ground Me
Faith, movement, and sports have always been anchors for me.
Sports taught me discipline, resilience, and how to keep going after setbacks. Faith has taught me trust, humility, and how to sit with uncertainty without needing immediate answers.
These things don’t eliminate struggle—but they help me stay grounded while I work through it.
Why This Space Exists
This space is for people who are trying.
Trying to care for their mental health.
Trying to be better partners and parents.
Trying to rediscover purpose after setbacks.
Trying to build a life that feels steady, meaningful, and real.
I don’t have it all figured out. But I believe growth happens through honesty, consistency, and community—and I’m committed to walking that path openly.
