Electrician

US Navy

As a Nuclear Electrician’s Mate in the U.S. Navy, I qualified through one of the most rigorous technical training pipelines in the military. I maintained, operated, and troubleshot electrical systems within a high-reliability naval nuclear propulsion environment, performing both preventive and corrective maintenance on power distribution equipment, control circuitry, and safety systems. The role demanded strict adherence to procedures, precise technical documentation, and consistent systems discipline. My time in the Navy built habits of accountability, attention to detail, and composure under pressure — habits that continue to shape how I approach engineering work today.

I’ve always been drawn to how things connect — systems, processes, people, and the ideas that keep them moving.

I began my career in the U.S. Navy as a Nuclear Electrician’s Mate, where I learned to work with high-reliability systems, uncompromising standards, and the kind of discipline that only comes from environments where mistakes aren’t optional. That foundation shaped how I approach technical work and responsibility today.

After the Navy (and a lot of subsequent schooling in physics and engineering), I continued building my career in complex transportation and engineering environments. I moved into hands-on electrical systems work in passenger rail operations and later took on roles in commissioning and systems integration.

Today, I work in multi-stakeholder project coordination and technical review for rail fleet programs while also co-owning School of Rock Salt Lake City, where I manage daily operations, program development, and community engagement. Operating a business alongside a technical career has sharpened my ability to understand people, prioritize decisions, and stay accountable for outcomes.

Earning my Professional Engineer (PE) license has deepened my sense of accountability, not just to technical standards, but also to the people and systems those standards serve.

My goal is to continue bridging the gap between engineering precision and people-centered management, and to grow into a leader who brings clarity, empathy, and structure to complex environments.

Learning to lead through systems and people.

Writing & expanding my stupid intellect into a black hole 🧠

Your beliefs run your life. Like it or not.

Before you know me, here’s what life taught me—lessons that shape everything I do:

- You have one life. Waste it, or own it. Your call.
- Self is suffering, transcend it.
- Love people. Create things.
- If you don’t quit, you can’t lose.
- Positivity moves the world, nothing exists in isolation.
- Chase obsession. Passion is a myth.
- Kindness and knowledge? The ultimate power.

Live by it. Or stay lost.

For 15+ years, I was a Life Science teacher, mentoring students, and building a career in academia.

Following the "safe" career path.

But behind the scenes, life was anything but stable.

Personal losses, severe family trauma, and relentless mental health battles took their toll. Just when I thought I had regained control, workplace burnout hit like a wrecking ball.

I needed a way to rebuild, reinvent, and rise.

I started writing.

Fear and self-doubt were my daily companions.
I had no experience, no audience, and no credibility.

I spent two straight years devouring books on psychology, productivity, and business. My perspective shifted. I realized that words weren’t just words—they were leverage.

The real breakthrough? When I started writing on LinkedIn and saw people actually paying attention.

20,000+ LinkedIn followers in 1.5 years
20M+ views in a single year
2M+ Threads views in 3 months
1,200+ newsletter subscribers
17+ recurring high-value clients

Wabam! People started reaching out. Founders, CEOs, thought leaders, and companies.

What had started as escape became a superpower.

So, I built a premium ghostwriting business from the ground up. Now, I help:

🚀 I help founders, B2B brands, start-ups, and thought leaders:

- Build strong digital brands on LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads
- Create content that attracts leads, subscribers, and high-value clients
- Write web articles (800-1,200 words) for niche industries
- Design 5-day email courses that convert subscribers into buyers
- Ghostwrite authority-building content that drives real business results

💡 What I Post About:

- The art of storytelling, copywriting, ghostwriting, and the art and business of digital writing
- Human psychology and wellness, self-mastery, and modern wisdom
- The nuances of corporate leadership, lifestyle management, and remote work
- Insights on business growth, productivity, and content creation
- Case studies on business, and AI tips, and tricks

Digital product: Launching soon.

Sometimes, employees resign without a job offer. Mostly, it turns out to be the best decision. Here’s why:

A colleague once told me they had a panic attack in the office bathroom and still returned to their desk 10 minutes later to meet a deadline.

That’s not commitment. That’s a crisis dressed as productivity.

If your work is costing your mental health, it’s already too expensive.

No paycheck, title, or deadline is worth burnout.
Here's why:

A toxic job will drain you in ways you won't notice until it's too late

1. You start surviving weekends instead of enjoying them

If your only joy is the absence of work, that's not a career, it's captivity.

2. Your self-worth gets tied to your performance

One missed deadline shouldn't unravel your sense of identity. But high-pressure workplaces often make it feel like it will.

3. You normalize anxiety as a default state

Waking up with dread, checking emails on the toilet, skipping meals during meetings, it becomes routine until your body breaks.

4. You tell yourself you can handle it

Until one day, your body decides it can't. And no project is worth hitting rock bottom for.

5. You don't take sick leaves, you take recovery days

And those aren’t rest. They’re emotional triage. Just enough to make it through another Monday.

6. You confuse overworking with being irreplaceable

If you believe you have to suffer to matter, the system has already won.

7. You wait for a breaking point to give yourself permission to quit

But by then, you’ve already paid the price in sleep, peace, and self-esteem.

8. You get praised for staying late, not for setting boundaries

Workplaces still glorify burnout as hustle. Until leadership shifts, your boundaries must.

9. You compromise long-term health for short-term praise

Cortisol doesn't care about compliments. Your body keeps the receipts.

10. You assume things will get better without anything changing

But unless you advocate for yourself, nothing will. Not your manager. Not the culture. Not the system.

You are not lazy for wanting peace. You are not weak for choosing yourself.

If the job is hurting your mental health, it’s not the right job.
And if you're leading a team, remember this:

Retention doesn't start with salary hikes.

It starts with creating a culture where people don't burn out to belong.

Great leaders don’t hire for perfection.
They hire for possibility. Last year, I met a former manager for coffee. He..

reminded me that when he hired me, my resume was thin but my hunger wasn’t.

Here’s what strong leaders actually look for when building teams:

1. Attitude before credentials
  Skills can be taught faster than mindset can be fixed. A willing attitude compounds every other ability.

2. Learning velocity, not past experience
  What matters is how quickly someone adapts, not how long they have been doing the same thing.

3. Ownership without supervision
  People who care do not wait to be chased. They take responsibility even when no one is watching.

4. Curiosity over compliance
  The best hires ask why, challenge assumptions, and want to understand the bigger picture.

5. Effort when no one is clapping
  Growth shows up in quiet consistency, not loud self-promotion.

6. Coachability under pressure
  Feedback reveals character. Some defend their ego. Others sharpen their skills.

7. Values that match the team
  Technical talent fades fast when values clash. Alignment sustains performance.

8. Potential that stretches the role
  Great hires do not just fill positions. They evolve them.

Here’s the contrarian truth most hiring systems ignore:

Experience predicts familiarity.
Potential predicts impact.

When leaders back someone early, three things happen naturally:
Confidence grows because belief was given first.

Capability expands because trust creates space to learn.
Loyalty deepens because opportunity was earned, not borrowed.

Leadership is not about finding people who are ready.
It is about recognizing those who are becoming.

The best leaders do not wait for proof.
They create it.
