I'm just a guy from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, trying to figure out how to live right in a world that often feels upside-down. I grew up Christian, drifted away for a long time, and eventually came back to faith after years of searching and making plenty of mistakes. The journey wasn't pretty, but God was patient. He brought real Christians back into my life who showed me grace instead of judgment, and slowly the pieces started falling into place.
I'm a Bitcoin maximalist through and through. I believe it's the hardest money ever created—fixed supply, no central control, no debasement. It's not just an investment; it's a hedge against a broken system and a step toward real sovereignty. I don't need flashy things or status; I just want freedom to build, give, and live without the chains of debt or inflation.
I'm learning to code (grinding through freeCodeCamp), I read the Bible every day (currently in Mark, one or two chapters at a time), and I play guitar when I can. Speaking of guitar — my buddy Shane runs Eau Claire Guitar Academy here in Eau Claire. He taught me everything I know about chords, feel, and actually enjoying the instrument. He's patient, talented, and genuinely cares about helping people find their sound. If you're in the area and want to learn guitar the right way, check him out—he changed how I see music, and he'll do the same for you. Check out his website here: Eau Claire Guitar Academy.
I've never been one for crowds or chasing trends, so I keep things small and quiet. Most days are simple: coffee in the morning, work on whatever coding problem I'm stuck on, a chapter or two of Mark, and maybe a glass of wine. The Bible isn't background noise anymore; it's the thing that forces me to ask hard questions about who I really am and what I'm actually doing with my time. I'm not perfect at it—some days I read half a chapter and spend the rest wrestling with one verse—but the slow pace feels right. It's teaching me patience I never had before.
Bitcoin remains the one thing that keeps me steady when everything else shakes. I don't check the price every hour anymore. I just know it's there, doing what nothing else can. It's not about getting rich but about having something that can't be quietly inflated away by governments or restricted by banks. That security lets me breathe easier and think longer-term about what really matters: building, giving, and trying to leave the world a little less broken than I found it.
Music has always been the quiet escape when my head gets loud. I'm no virtuoso, but picking up the guitar quiets the noise like nothing else. My friend Shane at Eau Claire Guitar Academy is the reason I stuck with it. He never made me feel stupid for starting late or struggling with basic chords. He just showed up, taught clearly, and made every lesson feel like progress. If you're around Eau Claire and want to learn guitar—whether for relaxation, to rock out, or just to have something that's yours—go see him. He's the real deal.
