Turning life's adversity into opportunity!

I am starting a new adventure, as a self publisher.

I was always pulled towards helping others. While in college, I had definitely dreamt of teaching. However, the thought of dealing with all those that do not want to learn or the political challenges that come with the current educational system and my own fears of failure kept me from ever really applying myself in that direction.

I have always carried the passion to create. I loved the sixth grade science fair and making Christmas gifts as a kid. My mother was the queen of crafty.

Food was easily my earliest and easiest way to express myself. I was always directed toward running things whether as a manager or just a leader in the kitchen. I enjoyed the challenges that came with working in busy seasonal restaurants but the hours and conditions were often brutal and not conducive to raising a family or even a good long term relationship.

Retail it was, although I still stuck with what I know, food.

I am now entering phase 3. I still have the desire to teach, especially teaching those that are seeking out answers or shared experiences that help connect us all and grow as human beings.

Self publishing has never been more obtainable than it is today thanks to technology and all that have gone before me. I am still feeling a strong urge share what I have learned and continue to seek out my own answers to help myself and others. The goal is continue to grow as both a human and a parent/husband. To be able to provide a better life for my family and friends.

I understand that the beginning of this transition will be difficult. So is the beginning of every great skill, hard. It will take time to master and promote. But with the help of others and the perseverance and determination that I know I carry inside of me, this will work.

The future is bright!
