FOR SELF

FOR THE CULTURE

For over 15 years, I have captivated audiences through speech, performance poetry and my writings. As a Midwest kid who is the son of two steel workers (father was also a 30+ year mortician), the value of hard work was automatically instilled inside of me. Even after becoming a Top 25 world ranked poet, 2x best selling author and completing a 20 year military career in 2022, I still pursue my crafts as if I have never earned high accolades. With this mindset, it allows me to stay grounded, and gives me reason to consistently pursue my passions and elevate. Let your naysayers be humble. You stay hungry for more. The world needs transparency. Don't be afraid to speak your truth, even when it hurts.
