About Me

I grew up knowing I was different long before I had the words for it. As a gay boy, I learned early that the world had strong opinions about who I should be — quieter, straighter, “less.” I picked up the subtle messages, the comments, the jokes, and the expectations, and I did what many of us did to survive: I hid the parts of myself that felt too vulnerable to show. Those early experiences shaped the way I moved through my life. I became the boy who worked hard to be accepted, the teenager who tried to blend in, and the adult who always felt like he had something to prove. I battled perfectionism, overthinking, people-pleasing, and a constant pressure to perform just to feel worthy.

On the outside I looked put together, but inside I felt disconnected — like I was living a version of myself that wasn’t truly mine. Everything changed when I finally paused long enough to face the shame I had carried since childhood. I realized that the stories I believed about myself weren’t mine — they were inherited from a world that didn’t understand me. Through my own healing, I learned how to create emotional safety, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with the parts of me I had spent years trying to hide.

Today, I live as the man I always needed when I was younger — someone who knows his worth, takes up space without apologizing, and shows up fully and authentically. And now I help other gay men do the same. As a certified gay life coach, I guide men who feel stuck, ashamed, or disconnected from who they really are. I teach them how to release old beliefs, break free from survival patterns, and step into a life that feels true, confident, and deeply aligned. My journey became my purpose, and it’s the reason I created my program Unstuck & Unashamed — because no gay man should have to navigate this alone. If you’re ready to heal the story that’s been holding you back, I’m here to help you become the most authentic version of yourself.
