Chapter 01

Coal Country

Saxon, West Virginia. Coal country. Where I learned that poverty doesn't build character. it tests it.

Chapter 02

Prison

I made desperate choices. And I paid for them. But concrete walls can't contain a mind that refuses to stop thinking.

Chapter 03

Faith

In the darkest room I'd ever been in, I found the only light that mattered.

Chapter 04

Education

B.S. Mathematics. M.S. Computer Science. Not because I had to prove something. because I finally could.

Chapter 05

Tech Career

Escalation engineer in cybersecurity. Building systems. Solving problems. The same hands that once broke things now fix them.

Chapter 06

Creator

Now I teach what I learned the hard way. Conversation science. AI. Reinvention. Because the best stories aren't the ones you plan. they're the ones you survive.
