When I die, I hope to reflect back on my own career, life, and adventures, and smile proudly, and respect the man I’ve become. I believe one of the hardest things in life is having the courage to be yourself.
Bear with me as I try to get better at that. 🙂

Most people think exceptional people are just born naturally superior — more intelligent, gifted, talented, and disciplined.
I don’t think that’s true.
Every successful person was once ordinary, unknown, and struggling. They were not all geniuses. They were regular people — like you and me — who learned how to think independently, work obsessively, and communicate clearly.
These are also traits elite universities look for beyond grades, test scores, and extracurriculars.
I believe far more people have the ability to become exceptional thinkers, operators, and storytellers than they realize.
I’m building Pegasus to prove that theory.
My goals with Pegasus are to:
“Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, influence it, build your own things that other people can use.“ — Steve Jobs
Greatness is embarrassing to talk about, which is why most people never pursue it seriously. To be authentic, risk rejection, fail publicly, and go after your goals seriously is something I’m trying to get better at.
Truthfully, I want to build an excellent life. I want to become someone I respect. I am inspired by people who pursue greatness seriously. I love to learn. And I want to help others on a similar path.
The path to self-actualization is very lonely, scary, and hard. But I think it is also one of the most rewarding, fun, and meaningful experiences life can offer. I encourage more people to go for what they want in life.
