Meet The Teacher

Like many people, I started my early adult life with not much of a head start. I came from a broken family that had a history of substance abuse and legal troubles. I began working a minimum wage job as a young teenager and trying to save up money to afford my daily expenses. Ultimately, I ended up being on my own with nothing but my car, a back seat full of clothes, and a small bank account that I had been struggling to build over the past few years. I remember sleeping on the couches of friends and family and thinking to myself, “I don’t know what the next step will be like, but I am going to do whatever it takes to succeed at it.” I then spent the rest of my life in various aspects of service to the community. I joined the military and spent the next 8 years serving in several different positions.  The second half of my military career was spent as a Sergeant in which I was responsible for giving guidance and ensuring the welfare of my soldiers in both their professional and personal lives. After feeling that I could help the community better on a local level, I then moved across the country and became a Law Enforcement Officer in one of the largest cities in the United States.  I spent the next 4 and a half years meeting many great people, hearing their stories, and interacting with my community on a more personal level.  Eventually, I moved on from that career to focus my efforts more on connecting with and helping people in a way that I felt was greatly needed by many. Throughout my journey I was able to develop myself from that teenager sleeping on a friend’s couch, unsure if I will have enough money for food next month, into a person who has felt very fortunate, satisfied, and successful in life.  I am thankful to have learned the life skills that have allowed me to live a life even greater than I had envisioned when I was going through my struggles early on. Without this knowledge, I could have never achieved the things I have. It wasn’t easy for me, but I hope to make it a little easier for you. For years, I have been fortunate enough to use my prior experiences to help many people improve their lives by sharing my knowledge on many aspects of life while continuously educating myself on new topics I did not fully understand.  The more I helped friends, family, and strangers with their goals in life I began to realize that the average adult of all ages was struggling with what we were told are "common" life skills.  In reality, these "common" life skills were the exact things that most of us, including myself, were never taught and instead spend our whole lives trying to learn. After doing some research I realized I was unable to find anywhere that had a convenient and easy way for the average person to learn all of these skills in one place. I decided to create this simple and easy way for everyone to learn these crucial life skills at their own pace and in the comfort of their own home.  It has taken me and many others years, if not a lifetime, to learn these skills.  This is my way to continue to help the community. I hope this experience can save you from having to go through the struggles of learning these skills the hard way as I and so many others have.  I hope the knowledge you gain here saves you a significant amount of time, money, and stress and puts you on track to living the life you always wanted!
