I’m a 50-year-old man who’s seen a lot of life. I’m a son, brother, father, friend, pleaser/giver and genuinely nice guy. I’ve changed jobs many times in the search of finding meaning and living a fulfilled life. I’ve moved to a new country; I’ve been married and divorced and experienced trauma. I’m very open, honest and seek out deep and meaningful conversations but this wasn’t always the case. I’ve made mistakes and will continue to do so but that’s how I’ve learn't to evolve and grow.

I strive to push myself and be the best version of me. I have struggled with a lack of self-belief and confidence but I’m learning to deal with that. After 50 years I’ve learn't to love myself by observing how I am in the world, the way I think and react. This has profoundly changed my life. I’m grateful every day for what I have. My life is full of rich experiences and people that have helped guide and shape the person I’ve become. I’ve learn't to know who I am and know what I want.
