Thanks for visiting! For a quick rundown of who I am, I'm an Ohio native in love with telling a story. I grew up in a large but very modest family and those experiences have taught me many lessons. Growing up I learned that doing the chores when they’re given and not later when your parents come back is the easiest way to avoid punishment. I’ve learned being an older sibling means you also get experience as a teacher, conflict resolver, chef, and daycare provider. I've also learned the importance of loved ones around you, but just as important is truly talking to each other and figuring out where help is needed. I've learned a lot about myself through experiencing and engaging with others and understanding how they contribute to the world. Self reflection and consistently seeking development has also allowed me to understand a lot as well. As someone who spent a lot of his life in his own head I realize one of the contributing factors to sometimes not receiving the help you need is that people don't know exactly what that need is, and what it does for you. Others may not know you well enough to realize how closely aligned to your cause they are, causing you to miss out on a fruitful partnership. I also feel that being true to who and what you represent is a part of fostering a community loyal to your cause.
