Going from a six-figure a year salary to jobless and homeless on the street wasn’t a plan, just the result of a few poor choices and some bad luck. Hitting what society calls “the bottom” initially brought on some heavy weight and anxiety. But once the dust settled, I realized it wasn’t the bottom at all. It was just a different vantage point. Always looking for new experiences, I stripped away the societal noise of what life is “supposed” to look like, found a lifestyle on the fringes that I actually liked, and decided to live it well.

Out here, the contrast is sharp. There’s addiction, mental illness, and the heavy chaos of the streets. But you also find immense good: fierce loyalty, deep compassion, and families built entirely from scratch. There’s something about surviving all this – together – that forms powerful bonds that I’ve not found elsewhere.

I live in this world with an active mind, serious goals, and a desire to capture it all to share with you. I don’t just record the pure reality—I look for the deeper connection, the poetry, if you will, and the emotional truth in what we experience out here. Because the best stories aren’t just seen; they are felt.
