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.

  • 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.
