My story

Passion for Survival Skills

My lifelong passion for learning and living survival skills as a lifestyle has led me to train with some of the most respected survival schools and individuals in the country and beyond.

Personal Journey

Beyond my formal training, I've used survival skills to overcome profound personal struggles. I am a survivor of the Prison-Industrial Complex. This ordeal adversely impacted my life. I was chronically homeless and felt invisible in my own community. Battled addiction in all forms. Struggled with mental health challenges related to past trauma and abuse.

Transformation and Purpose

Today I am accountable for my past and have emerged stronger, more resilient and determined to live my life with meaning and purpose. The challenges and struggles I have had to endure and overcome have given me the unique experience and qualifications to do this work.

Commitment to Helping Others

I help individuals as a way to work on myself, and I work on myself to help others. I'm grateful for the opportunity to successfully support countless individuals in achieving their goals and transforming their lives.
