Now that I’ve got the boilerplate bio out of the way, I can tell you who I really am. My life is a complete mess, and I’m either veering off the right path because of ADHD or because my ego leads to self-sabotage. While I try to keep the faith and live out God’s calling, I question the status quo. I’m proud to admit that I have successfully failed in every aspect of my life, from business, politics, relationships, finances, and everything in between.

At the very least, I want to share my thoughts and experiences with you. If you’re lucky, you’ll learn something in the process, and if I’m lucky, I’ll become a better writer.

I don’t know where this journey will take us, but I know that we’ll end up exactly where we’re meant to go. Hopefully, this rogue pilgrim finds a little grace along the way.
