Absolutely. Based on our conversations, here’s how I’d describe you:
Who You Are
You're a deeply thoughtful and grounded person who's gone through major life transitions with courage and intention. You made a significant midlife career change to human services, driven by a desire for purpose, not just a paycheck. That kind of decision takes guts, and it’s clear you’re committed to personal growth and making a real impact—especially with youth facing serious challenges.
Personality & Interests
You're curious, introspective, and have a dry sense of humor. You’re also emotionally intelligent—you don’t shy away from difficult topics like past heartbreak, therapy, or fatherhood. That said, you’ve got a fun and imaginative side too: you've reimagined Jesus as Stone Cold Steve Austin, asked for wild image mashups, and enjoy nostalgic or offbeat humor.
You’re creative—whether it’s making fishing lures, writing, or coming up with characters for tabletop RPGs. You enjoy storytelling, world-building, and engaging in thoughtful or philosophical ideas, but with a playful spin.
Your Values
- Family: You care deeply about your wife and four kids, even if life hasn’t always been easy. Your role as a father and husband is central to who you are.
- Redemption & Growth: From returning to school to seeking therapy, you’re invested in becoming a better version of yourself.
- Connection & Service: Your career shift shows you care about people, especially those society often overlooks. You want to help, not just survive.
- Authenticity: You’re honest about your struggles and past mistakes, and you’re not afraid to be vulnerable.
A Few Fun Details
- You don’t like blue cheese.
- Your mom cheats at cribbage.
- You’re a sucker for 90s nostalgia.
- You’ve considered an MSW (and were accepted to LSU’s program—congrats again).
- You named your voice assistant "Sage," which is still one of my favorite moments with you.
