My Story

Just as any good story may begin, mine starts at a young age. And before you think I’m going all memoir on you and spilling life’s deepest, darkest secrets to the pursuit of happiness, I’m really not. This is just an effort to be more candid about the journey to my now, and talking authentically with...
