Writer, creator, and someone figuring out what it takes to build a good life.
Honest work about change, direction, identity, and figuring out what comes next.
About
I’m interested in the questions that don’t have clean answers.
I’m an American writer and creator living in Vietnam. I’ve built businesses, changed direction more than once, and spent a lot of time thinking about work, freedom, relationships, learning, and what makes a life feel like your own.
I’m not writing from the finish line. Most of what I make comes from trying to understand these things while I’m still living through them.
The book
A Human’s Guide to Change
A book to spark reflection, question the path you think you’re supposed to follow, and move closer to the one that feels true to you.
For anyone who knows something needs to change but isn’t entirely sure what comes next.

Speaking
Conversations that help us understand ourselves, our path, and each other.
I’ve spoken with groups and individuals about personal growth, journaling, finding direction, and building stronger connections with the people around us.
I’m interested in continuing to explore these ideas through talks, workshops, and conversations as the work evolves.
Support my work
If something I’ve made has been useful to you, you can buy me a coffee.
Completely optional. It simply helps support the writing, videos, and whatever I make next.
