05 Sobriety + Personal Transformation
- Quit drinking alcohol and a ton of hard drugs in my late twenties. It was not trendy, and I was not "sober curious." I needed to not die or go to prison. Today I mentor a handful of people in recovery on my own time.
- Built a personal framework from recovery that I now apply directly to business: show up, be accountable, have a plan.
- Enrolled at K2L Martial Arts because my son wanted to learn how to fight. It turned out to be a lot more than that.
- Train in martial arts three to four times a week. I'm a first-degree black belt in Taekwondo.
- Lifetime skater who still hits the board a couple times a week.
