Step into My World

From a young age, I’ve always been fascinated by the world around me and driven by a desire to explore it. Growing up in the Midwest, I couldn't shake off the feeling that there's so much more to see and experience out there. And so, my journey began..

When I was 19, I decided to set out on my own and start a company that embodied my values of adventure and exploration. The motto of my company was “Release Your Inner Captain.” This means Journeying outward into the world and taking control of your life - being the captain of your own destiny, no matter where that may take you.

It’s a motto that I live by, and it’s something that I’m passionate about sharing with others. What matters most to me is that everyone has the chance to tap into their inner captain and experience all that this world has to offer.

Attempting to start my own company was a challenging, yet rewarding, experience. Though the company ultimately wasn’t successful, I learned an incredible amount from the process. From filing legal paperwork and developing business plans, to creating marketing campaigns and developing the website, I gained a wealth of real-world skills that have been invaluable in my career. What’s more, the lessons I learned from my failed attempt have allowed me to guide other clients and companies through their own business ventures. Starting my own company at 19 was a challenge, but it was also an incredibly enriching experience that has made me a better professional and businessperson.
