I’m an extroverted introvert who realized hiding behind social awkwardness wasn’t going to allow me to help the people I wanted to help. In 2020, I was faced with a decision to either figure out how to make money as a creative or starve. I haven’t missed a meal since. My goal is to help people break free of imposter syndrome and start living the life they have always wanted. You may not get rich, but you don’t have to be poor.

I’ve been a storyteller since I was a child (3rd grade to be exact), making comic books about Sonic the Hedgehog, which led to me creating my own characters with their own stories shortly after. I was overlooked for countless jobs during 2020, overlooked for a promotion at a business consulting company in 2022, and became an award-winning filmmaker in 2023. While it wasn’t an Emmy®, it was proof of concept—proof that if you go after the things you want in life, regardless of how many times it feels like you failed, you just might surprise yourself.

This creative journey has seen many phases, and sometimes when your back is against the wall, that’s when you have the most clarity. I believe that if you aren’t happy with where you are in life, it’s up to you to change it. It’s usually not pretty, and it certainly isn’t easy, but if I can do it, so can you.
