Update September 2025:
We did it. We ran the center for over a year and only came up 5200 short of our budget. Our back due rent and utilities are needed by the 15th or we will have to begin the eviction process, but we have an incredible opportunity:
SOMEONE HAS PROMISED TO MATCH UP TO $2600 IN DONATIONS.
We are working on the technical side, but the clock starts NOW! Every dollar counts, and I know that we can do this, like all things, together.

As a community servant and organizational consultant, I work to find sustainable solutions to immediate needs in communities.
Simply put, I look at problems that are affecting a community, analyze the resources that already exist, and try to find ways to organize those resources to make them more accessible to everyone, regardless of income, transportation, or any other hurdle. I work extensively with non-profit organizations, community groups, local governments, and local businesses to create situations that provide freedom and agency to impoverished or marginalized people. In this pursuit, I work on creating free public spaces that meet the community’s immediate needs.
I find the impossible middle ground between politicians, religious organizations, small businesses, and the disenfranchised in a way where everyone feels like they have succeeded at something they believed was impossible. I am the guy who puts out fires, who builds bridges, and finds solutions to serious issues facing rural Texan communities in a way that is thoughtful and redistributes the power of choice to those who feel powerless.
At the moment, my greatest focus is establishing a local community center where we can host our regular skills classes, family game nights, and community meetings, so let’s see if we can make it happen! The first step is turning our grass roots movement into an official 501(c)3.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this, and I hope you join me in the pursuit to dream of a better future for everyone.
