I'm an author, blogger, certified life coach, certified relationship coach, heartbreak recovery expert, internet entrepreneur, music nut, comedy nerd, gastronome, thinker, dreamer, wanderer, and kind of a hopeless fucking romantic. I was born in Omaha, Neb. and graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in communications. Then, I moved to Chicago, where I tried my hand at stand-up comedy and studied writing at The Second City. Currently, I live in New Orleans. In 2013, my father – who was the picture of health – died suddenly and unexpectedly while exercising at the gym. This sent me down a path of deep self-exploration, on which I realized that life is simply too short and too unpredictable to settle for anything less than what you truly want.
