Will
As a father, husband, Veteran, business owner, and health and fitness advocate, I have been pursuing self-actualization for over a decade; I started his journey during high school after my basketball coach left a lasting impression of the importance of self-improvement. After some college, I joined the Military and spent time in a Special Operations unit; there, I was put to the test and came out with immense knowledge and a vast perspective on life. I have exposed myself to as many different experiences as possible, giving me a unique perspective on the world. That unique perspective has helped me in what I believe is one of life's purposes: to experience the world in one's own way and share that perspective with the world. Sharing my perspective is why I started writing, and it guides me in my creative process. I hope you find value in reading my perspective.
