Why?

More than anything, I want to die empty.

I once heard that the richest place in the world is a cemetery–because that’s where dreams go to die. That will not happen to me. I will not slowly waste away while my life becomes a testament to mediocrity. Instead, I will get in the ring and fight, be bloodied, fail, and be bloodied again. But in the end I will die spent, having held nothing back in my pursuit of life.

I am a designer, entrepreneur and outdoors enthusiast. I love my kids and my wife, and I seek to learn, change, grow and die empty for them as well.

I make mistakes, and it can be exhausting to navigate life’s creative terrain. But I keep learning, and I have been blessed deeply with a richness that can only stem from knowing that I’m not waiting. That life is not passing me by.
