The Daydream That Changed Everything
It all started with a simple moment of reflection. I was alone in the lab at my 9-to-5 job at the time, going through the motions like any other day.
Then, out of nowhere, I found myself daydreaming—but this wasn’t the kind of dream that brought joy.
I saw a vision of myself at 40 years old, doing the exact same thing I was doing right then.
The look on my face in that vision? Empty eyes, sadness & defeat. My first thought was:
“This isn’t what I was put here to do. This can't be it. I'm going to college for just this?”
That realization hit me hard.
I was surrounded by coworkers who seemed to have already accepted a joyless, soulless routine—just clocking in and out without purpose.
For someone who had always prided himself on being optimistic, I couldn’t ignore how much that environment had worn me down.
I felt stuck, uninspired, and worst of all, hopeless.
From that moment, I decided I wasn’t going to let this be my future.
I was meant for more, and it was time to figure out what that “more” was.
But That's Not How It Started...
Just a few years earlier, I was a completely different person.
I was the bright-eyed kid who had just started his first year as a Biomedical Engineering student.
Excited and full of ambition, I tackled every challenge in front of me with the goal of earning my degree—and I did! (I mean, check out that handsome devil in the pictures😂!).
Those years taught me more than lab techniques, thermodynamics, and 3D modeling.
I learned how to manage my time, prioritize tasks, and lead others—skills that would prove invaluable later.
But at the time, I didn’t realize how much I would need them.
Fast-forward to 2020, and my life quickly became a juggling act.
Between school, work, teaching martial arts, church responsibilities, a worldwide pandemic, and everything else, saying I was stretched thin was an understatement.
I was living reactively, with no clear plan for my days.
I wasn’t sleeping well.
I wasn't exercising regularly.
I wasn't taking care of myself mentally or emotionally.
I would drink up to 5 energy drinks a day just to stay awake and function.
This life was not sustainable. But the worst part of it all...
I already knew that and yet I kept living that way.
The Turning Point
The pain of feeling stuck became unbearable and I realized I couldn’t leave my life to chance.
The idea of “waiting for the right time” felt as realistic as hoping to win the lottery.
If I wanted change, I HAD to make it happen.
So, I started asking myself hard questions:
What’s really important to me?
What do I want out of life?
What drives me to get out of bed in the morning?
What would I willingly do for free for 5 years and still love it just as much then as I did day 1?
The answers weren’t immediate, but as I explored them, I found the intersection of what excited me and what could help others...
A High Performance Lifestyle
I didn’t just want to be busy—I wanted to be effective!
That passion sent me down a rabbit hole and I mean A RABBIT HOLE!
Books, courses, coaching, research into psychology, biohacking, and personal development.
Every new insight fueled my fire to do and be more.
Where I'm Going
The tools I’ve discovered and the systems I’ve built have transformed my life.
I believe they can do the same for others.
My mission is simple:
Show others that with the right mindset and systems, you CAN achieve YOUR definition of success.
I’m a firm believer that success doesn’t require sacrificing your health, relationships, or sanity.
Yes, it takes discipline.
Yes, it takes time.
Yes, it takes hard work and consistency.
But you can achieve your goals without burning out.
I’m living proof.
Between:
Running a personal brand
Working a full-time job with a three-hour round trip commute
Exercising regularly
Serving as a youth pastor
Getting a full night’s sleep
I’ve learned that's it's not a matter of 24 hours not being enough, but how you spend those 24 hours.
“If you want change to happen, YOU need to make it happen.”

I often think back to that day in the lab when I saw a glimpse of a future I didn’t want.
It’s what drives me to keep going, to keep growing, and to keep sharing what I’ve learned.
The road ahead is full of possibilities.
Coaching, consulting, and online education is the future of personal growth.
I want to be at the forefront of it.
Whether it’s through sharing strategies, encouraging others to take action, or simply being an example of what’s possible, my goal is to help people redefine success and achieve it on their terms.
Challenge the status quo—because you weren't born to just fit in.
