A little bit about me…

7 years ago, I found myself trapped inside a mental institution, recovering from a drug-induced psychosis.

I’ll never remember exactly how I spiraled into that mess, but I do remember how difficult it was to get out of it.

It took me over six months of recovery before I started to feel like myself again.

-

I found my way into the personal growth sphere, as I was terrified of devolving back into my worst self.

I spent thousands of hours listening to intellectual podcasts, reading self-help books, and most importantly, putting principles into practice by doing the real work required to become better.

5 years after my initial diagnosis, I completed my Master of Architecture degree, won two awards for my academic work, built a LEED-Platinum house with my friends, and accepted a shiny new job working for one of the top general contractors in the nation.

Ten days after my graduation, I threw my entire life in my Avalon, drove from Kansas to Washington State, and never looked back.

-

Today, I live in Seattle— living with my partner, working for myself, and doing more of what I love.

I’m far from the person I want to be, but I look back at the version of me from 7 years ago and I hardly recognize him.

I’ve come so far in this period of time… and I’m so glad I did.

Now, I feel ready to help others do the same.

Let’s grow together. Stay tuned.
