I am a 34-year-old male.

A writer. A blogger. A creative thinker.

An amateur photographer.

A tattoo enthusiast.

A student of all things intellectual and spiritual.

An aspiring heavy metal singer. (If I can ever nail the scream at the beginning of Queensryche’s “Queen of the Reich,” I’ll be the happiest man in the world!).

For the first 30+ years of my life, I waged a life-and-death battle against crippling depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. At one point, it nearly cost me my life.

Though bruised and battered, I am undaunted.

Now intimately acquainted with the demons chomping at my soul, I endeavor to use that knowledge to help others heal.

I would be deeply honored if you joined me on my journey. I have no idea where it will lead…but, to me, that’s a good thing.
