I did not intend to write a book. I began taking notes quietly, for myself, during a period when life slowed down and I felt unsure about what direction I was meant to take next. Writing became a way to sit with that uncertainty rather than escape it. With a background in music and fitness, I now write for men who are navigating change, mindset, and meaning. Compass & Grit is my first book, written from inside the process of figuring things out, shared before any sense of resolution.
