About

Who I Am

I’m an educator with a deep interest in how systems shape learning, behavior and human potential. I teach, research, write and build frameworks designed to help students, and ideas, thrive.

My work spans several domains, from education and ancient history to theoretical science and storytelling. While those fields may seem disconnected, they’re all connected by a single driving force: a need to understand how things work and how they might work better.

My Journey

I didn’t come into education through the traditional path.

After being expelled from high school in my senior year, I earned my GED and slowly carved out a path forward. I’ve worked full-time while completing multiple degrees and certifications, and I’ve taught myself disciplines like astrophysics and ancient linguistics purely out of personal interest and the challenge of doing so.

I’ve spent time in various fields, like EMT work and hospital records, not because I wanted a career there, but because I wanted to prove I could do something difficult and finish it. Eventually, I came back to what always called to me: teaching and learning. The classroom became both a workplace and a canvas.

What I Do Today

In Education

I teach middle school English and lead with student-first systems. Meaning every rule, structure, and assignment has a purpose behind it. My classrooms are built with project-based learning, layered expectations, and consistent feedback loops. I believe in setting the bar high and giving students the tools to meet it.

I’ve also developed frameworks for test prep, classroom management and student accountability, all designed to help students succeed without losing themselves in the process.

In Research

I explore unconventional questions through independent study and formal research. Current areas include:

A theoretical model of time as a dense, layered medium
A working hypothesis on decoding the Indus Valley script
A conceptual sustainable energy model built from natural materials (AetherCell)

My work isn’t always about proving something right, it’s about asking questions others overlook and giving them structure.

In Writing

My fiction spans genres. From dark fantasy and dystopian sci-fi to coming-of-age literary works and myth-infused epics. While each story stands on its own, they’re united by a core throughline: the tension between identity and system. Whether I'm writing about soul contracts, rebellious gladiators, reprogrammed memories, or cosmic druidic magic, the question is always the same, what happens when you break the structure you're trapped in?

I write to explore transformation, survival, power, and the stories we’re told about ourselves. These aren’t stories about heroes. They’re stories about people who are flawed, fractured, questioning, and the systems that shape them.

I'm currently preparing multiple novels for publication under Built by North LLC, with a goal of launching my first entries into Kindle Unlimited this year. The series Saint Slayers will lead the charge, but it's just one part of a broader literary blueprint I'm excited to share.

How I Work

I tend to move between fields quickly, immersing myself deeply in one area until the system reveals itself. I don’t multitask to check boxes, I do it because ideas rarely stay in one lane.

That said, I’m also aware of how that can look. I learn best when something feels worth solving, and I’m wired to keep solving once I start.

Everything I work on gets my full attention, even when there’s a lot going on. My brain thrives on complexity, but my process is always intentional.
