Once upon a time, there was a man who loved exploring and writing about self-development and following dreams. His passion lay in igniting the dreams of others and encouraging them to embark upon their own journeys of self-discovery and personal growth. In 2010, that man created his first blog, Straight Up Living
That man was me. I’m a multi-passionate person with a wide range of interests and passions. I firmly believe that you don’t have to be just one thing in life. I believe in living without the inhibitions of doubt, fear, and the opinions of others. This philosophy, of living authentically and pursuing one's passions unapologetically, is what I call Straight Up Living.
In 2018, I experienced a radical reboot of my life. Determined to break the cycle of “crash and burn” that I had endured for years, I set out on a journey of self-transformation that included selling all of my possessions, quitting my job, and going out on the road in pursuit of my dreams and new life experiences. I travel the United States, my car filled with a few remaining material possessions, and share my experiences via my writing, social media, and my blog.
