December 9th, 2019. While on board a flight back from LaGuardia (NYC) to RDU, I snapped this selfie as tears began to fill my eyes. I was overcome. Everything was coming together.

And IContinue reading “Risky Business”

I’ve always had a sincere affinity for pain. Sounds crazy, but it’s true. I enjoy adversity. Throughout my life, I’ve been in relentless pursuit of it. For me, the experience of overcoming adversity has always been my fuel. I’ve loved being the underdog, the afterthought, the guy they counted out. I’ve taken great pride inContinue reading “Rocket Fuel”

What if you only had 24 hours to live…? In reality, that’s all that any of us have. And even that is not guaranteed.
