A life of intention.

Move. Take action.

We live in a chaotic world.

Our attention is pulled in a thousand directions. The ocean of possibility is wide—and often overwhelming.

I remember, sometime around college, feeling completely stuck. Paralyzed by the pressure to figure out what I was supposed to do with my life. I thought I needed to find some great passion or land the perfect job—the one that would make me rich overnight or change the world in a single stroke.

I was spinning my wheels. Overthinking every possible path. And there were too many paths.

But I knew one thing: not choosing meant stagnation. The road to nowhere.

So, I chose a direction. I took a job. That job led to another.

And slowly, things began to move.

I fought wildfires in the forests of Oregon.I went to university.I fought hordes of mosquitos in the Sumatran jungle, hiked through the Scottish Highlands, and trekked across the Southern Alps.I ran a marathon.I flew search and rescue missions in the mountains of Alaska and across the Mojave near Death Valley.I got married.Started a family.

I’ve met incredible people. I’ve shared meaningful moments with them.

Life hasn’t gone the way I expected.But it’s been good—better than I ever imagined.

I’ve known stagnation and growth.Victory and defeat.Fear and hope.

There will always be reasons not to move.

Safe.

Stuck.

Ships are safe in harbor.But that’s not what ships are for.

I used to complicate things by overcomplicating them. Maybe I still do. But over time, one truth keeps rising to the surface:

I want to move.

To take action.

To remain curious.

To explore.

To spend my time doing things that matter—and share that passion with others.

To live with intention.
