Bio
Veteran of the U.S. Army. I had been set adrift on the world stage. Never knowing my purpose. I have been a chef, a factory worker, a movie theater projectionist and a human. With all the faults and whimsy that comes with it.

My Fight With Depression and Anxiety
It is hard to relent on pretending to be strong. Not wanting to be the weak link in the chain. Seeing others as both stronger than myself and also in the same desperate straits. Seeing both as possibilities I am ashamed to speak of my own weakness and unable to ask for help, always assuming the answers would seem hollow. Wanting so much not be hurtful in any way. I don't want my mask to fall off. I want to be the upbeat fellow that shields others from the storm that is life. I don't want to break. Or at least not be seen breaking. Life is good. Life is grand. Our fellowships with those we love and care for continually fortify the want to live life. To beat the struggles of day to day life. To shout down the evils that do occupy this world.
