Intentional Growth
We’re growing everyday. Be intentional in the direction. Seek discomfort and make a path of your own.
Welcome to my website
I like to share my thoughts, explorations and journey as I work on a life fueled by creativity and purpose.
I hope my experiences will encourage others who are on the same path to keep growing. I know that listening and reading stories of others has helped me; so this is my way of paying it forward.

13 Million Steps on the Dirt Path
Thick fog dims the moonlight. A tunnel of crooked, weaving branches shrinks my world as I follow the dirt tail. The sharp crack of a branch speeds my footsteps along the path.

PCT Day 146 – 147 German Adventure
Eventhough I had a good night’s sleep I was weak. I put down some crackers and started walking. The scenery was beautiful. We were in a remote section of trail.
About Me
So who am I? I’m an entrepreneur; a seeker of problems to solve; an advocate for treating the earth better; a global citizen who’s chronically discontent with the status quo. I’ve failed and succeeded, learned a lot along the way, and take another step on my journey each day.
