Quick origin story: I grew up in a quaint little country town famous for peddling corn and barbed wire. College wasn't in the cards for my parents, and I took a detour from higher education myself.
Life, however, threw me a whirlwind of chances to soar above my humble beginnings — a rollercoaster of family complexities, a stint in the entertainment industry, bouts of homelessness, financial battles, and a tug-of-war with my mental health.
Now a college grad, working full-time as a recruiter and part-time building passion projects. I'm happy to be here, alive and well, figuring it all out.
