I empower others to live a fulfilling, balanced life by helping them prioritize their passions, transform fears into confidence, and embrace their adventurous spirit. As an immigrant who began my journey in the military as a cook and later became a combat pilot, mountaineer, and adventure filmmaker, I’ve learned to embrace failure, silence external pressures, and boldly pursue my dreams.
