Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
As a child, he was always an overachiever in school; his dad never accepted anything less than straight A’s on his report cards.
2.
By the time he got to college, the stress of constantly getting perfect grades for his father had finally caught up to him.
3.
He decided to take a trimester off, during which he got a DUI and “devastated” his college expectations.
4.
Although it was a horrible experience, the DUI allowed him to finally dissociate from his situation and see that he was living someone else’s life rather than his own.
5.
Decided he wanted to live for as long as he possibly could; started pursuing bodybuilding because he believed it was the best way to reach his peak health.
6.
When his body started breaking down a few years later, he realized he was in the same place he was in college; had to start questioning everything again.
7.
He’d been operating a fitness center, which he then decided to transition into a holistic health center; began believing in doing things for a common purpose.
8.
His latest venture is One Community, which creates open-source blueprints for building sustainable villages and cities around the world.
Defining Moments
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
I got to the point where I couldn't afford to do what I was doing anymore, so I took a trimester to think about that. In that time I got a DUI and that pretty much devastated or destroyed my college aspirations.
