Impossible Means Nothing to Me
The human project is imperfect. Always unfinished. "We're all fighting against the tide," a teacher once told me. I have a deep empathy and understanding for the struggles we all must endure, many of which come in forms that are invisible to others.
Most of us live in some tension between what we are doing and what we think we ought to be doing. The work we do out of necessity, and the work our souls yearn to complete. The obstacles are predictable: time, practicality, fear, money. I often ask people what they would like to do if money were no object. Very rarely is it what they are doing now.
A Different Paradigm
I think differently. I believe in a world of untapped potential and human greatness. A place where amazing things are possible for each and everyone of us. As the great Les Brown used to say, "Not only is it possible. It's necessary." In placing a higher purpose at the center of my life, and trusting divine support to see it through, I've been able to pursue a life far beyond the status quo. The lessons have been many, and the wisdom hard fought. Yet there is nothing so much worth doing than the work of the heart.
Professionally, this has had real, tangible advantages. Working with purpose and emotional clarity allows me to navigate complex environments others may find difficult. I am able to lead with conviction and reciprocity. I build creative teams that are committed and ethical. My tremendous sensitivity that allows me to both produce and identify exceptional quality in a wide range of modalities. Everything speaks, and I have the ears to listen.
For the past 14 years, I worked as a Creative Director and Principal at Feral Studio, a digital design studio I founded with a cantankerous Irishman named Timmy. During that time, I traveled to over 30 countries to live and work, witnessing the full breadth of the human experience. I have since planted roots in Chicago, my home. I am embarking on an ambitious plan for the future, which will take decades to fully realize. As I write this, in the spring of 2026, it is nothing more than a twinkle in my eye. But with time, I know in my soul it will become so much more.
As it has been promised, so it will be.
