About

This is a random collection of articles, thoughts, and the stuff that makes me, me. Opinions are mine.

I’m 43. Two kids, three dogs. Married to Hailey. I co-own System Jiu-Jitsu with my big brother Jacen, who’s been one of the most important people in my life for a long time.

I’m always pulling on new threads. Lately it’s leatherwork, coding, and anything Ai. I got sober in 2020, best decision I’ve ever made, no contest.

I’m divorced and I co-parent well with my kids’ mom. My parents split when I was young. Mom remarried Ray, my stepdad. He passed in 2018 from early onset Alzheimer’s at 67. That one still sits with me.

I believe you make your own luck. Work hard, take care of the people around you, push the pace. Almost everything is possible if you’re willing to believe its possible, then take action.

I’m into performance psychology, fitness, Jiu-Jitsu, sales, and building things. Hard projects with cool people, that’s the whole game for me.

I just shipped my first iPhone app for the gym, web and mobile. Building something real, with my own hands, scratched an itch I didn’t know was that loud. (Ai is pretty neat)

I’m in love with my best friend. Hailey makes me a better version of me.

And my kids. I’m in awe of how kind they are.
