The Start of a Bigger Story​
​​​
The Realization
​
Sophomore year of college, I had a moment of clarity.
I didn’t know exactly what I was going to do, but I knew it wasn’t this.
​
For most of my life, I had been living for others, checking every box: finance, clubs, sports, friends, fun, you name it. I had built a life around who I thought I should be. But none of it felt like my own.
​
So I asked myself: What does a life that’s truly mine look like? That question set me on a quest.
​
A few weeks later, I found myself on the outskirts of Thun, Switzerland (pop. 2,000), working on a farm. Scooping a lot of horse poop.
I returned and decided to enter a race. The next week I completed my first ultra-marathon. ​
Three months later I was on a flight to Nairobi, Kenya.​​
The Adventure
​
After spending the summer in Kenya, I kept exploring.
​
With a one-way ticket in hand, I set off for Peru. Over the next year, I didn’t just see new places, I lived new lessons:
​
-
The importance of having your visa in order (learned the hard way)
-
The thrill (and dangers) of ice climbing
-
The power of high-energy communities
-
The realities of entrepreneurship from the ground up
-
The feeling of running through the Andes Mountain
​
​That year wasn’t just about travel, it was about learning how to truly live.
The Return
​
After a year of adventure, I returned to school.
​
But this time, I was back on my own terms.
​
Wanting to surround myself with those who love to learn, I took a job at the library. Let me tell you, there's an exorbitant amount of books in this world!
​
That summer, I completed my first Ironman. Remember to wear sunscreen.
​
I entered the fall of my senior year with a whole new mindset. School was now fun. It was a long journey to be able to write that.
​
​
My next adventure, upon graduating would take me to Austin, Texas.
Raising Consciousness​
​
I walked across the stage, packed my bags, and moved to Austin.
​
An invisible hand guided me there, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I found a community that felt like home.​​
​
In January of 2025, I stepped into the arena of coaching and I haven't turned back. I get to share the magic of creating our being and how we can live a life we love.​
Peace and Love, Double B
