welcome!

There are moments in life that change everything—sometimes in ways we never see coming. A hobby that becomes a calling. A decision that, at the time, feels small but turns out to be the next right step in a much greater plan. A moment where your fingers graze the keys at just the right time. At least, this has been true for me.

My life has been a collection of these moments—some beautiful, some painful, all shaping me into the person I am at just 23. You might be wondering: why start this at 23? Well, I’ve been through things that I believe might help others. What you don’t immediately see from the highlight reel of my life is that I have struggled with mental health for as long as I can remember. As a child, they called it Oppositional Defiance Disorder—a label that followed me. Now, they just treat the symptoms. But the struggles remain, woven into my story as much as my faith, my marriage, and my work.

That’s why I want to document this moment in time. These years where a camera, a rose, and a great big God radically changed my life—and my wife Kara’s (more on the great human she is later). Why start this six days before Valentine’s Day, our busiest time of the year? Maybe I’m crazy. Maybe it’s a God thing. That remains to be seen.

What I do know is this: My story is one of entrepreneurship, risk, mental battles, and faith—a story that might help you, as much as writing it is already helping me.

So sit back, take a deep breath, and buckle up. You’re in for a wild ride.
