Paradigm Shifts

In my 30s, my faith in Christ really started to take root and change how I saw everything. I’d always felt some kind of connection to God, something quiet in the background, but it never fully took hold. Over time, it moved from a vague sense to something solid. It wasn’t some big dramatic moment, just a steady shift toward a truth that had always been there.

Miracle Moments

When I was a kid we visited the Philippines, where my cousins and I almost drowned. I didn’t realize I was wading into deeper water until it was too late. Thankfully, my uncle saw us just in time and pulled us out.

Possible Selves

I see my future self as someone who continuously strives to make a positive impact. I try to model my life after Jesus Christ because his actions guide how I want to live and lead. My hope is to inspire and influence young men by sharing positive values and life skills, helping them become their best selves too.
