About
I am a 26-year-old from the suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It’s a nice place.
I had a normal childhood, got decent grades, went off to college, got offered a full-time job, quickly dropped out of college, started progressing along in my career, met a girl, fell in love, and found myself staring into my entire future with a million ideas of the life I wanted to live. It is both a beautiful and terrifying feeling.
For a more up-to-date look a what I’m focusing on, you can check out my now page.
To use my gift of curiosity and love of learning to discover how to actualize my own personal version of a meaningful life and to help others do the same for themselves.
1. You are the creator of your own life. Create something meaningful.
2. Life is made up of a series of moments. Embrace them in their time.
3. Be persistent in your actions and unwavering on your vision.
4. Always own up to your failures.
5. Take time to celebrate your successes.
6. Treat everyone you meet as a person – with kindness and respect.
7. Love deeply with every ounce of your soul.
