I am building The REGROUND to help men, especially fathers, reconnect to love, nurturance, emotional honesty, and community.

For generations, many men, especially Black and Brown men, have been taught to measure their worth through silence, survival, domination, and emotional suppression. The result is fathers who struggle to nurture, men disconnected from themselves, and families carrying cycles of harm they never chose. Read More>>

I think the work I do has a quiet ripple effect that I don’t always get to see, but I trust is happening. I work primarily with teens and women who are often holding a tremendous amount: anxiety, perfectionism, disordered eating, body image concerns, the weight of contemplating motherhood or moving through a big life transition. A lot of what we’re really untangling underneath the symptoms is this fixation on control, on doing it right, looking right, being enough. And so much of that is inherited. From diet culture, from hustle culture, from messages about what a “good” woman or a “gifted” teen is supposed to look like. Read More>>

Sociology of Everything exists to serve and elevate the automotive community by giving a voice to perspectives that often go unseen and unheard. Within modern car culture, there is no shortage of talent, passion, or insight—but access to industry knowledge and opportunity is often limited by gatekeeping and lack of visibility. Read More>>

Social impact is not something we treat as an add on. It is part of how we live and operate every day.

At Hitch Burger, you see it the moment you walk in. The quotes about giving back on our walls are not decoration. They are reminders of what we stand for. The same goes for the backs of our shirts. Our team wears that message every day, not just for guests to see, but as a standard we hold ourselves to. Read More>>

My non-profit, Safe Passage, helps the world by bringing safety, peace, and self-sufficiency to women and children who are victims of domestic violence.

When someone comes to me, it’s usually because they or a loved one is trapped in an unsafe situation. The first thing we do is get them to safety; we have a whole protocol for removing them from dangerous homes and placing them in shelters where no one can find them. We’ve even helped women we found sleeping in their cars with their children, getting them off the streets and into a safe place. Read More>>

My business started with a simple idea: creating custom socks that people actually love to wear, but it has grown into something much more meaningful through our 5% giveback program. From the beginning, I committed to giving back a portion of every order, and over time, that has allowed me to donate tens of thousands of pairs of socks to people in need across the US. Read More>>

My practice is dedicated to supporting children, teens, young adults, and adults with autism in building emotional regulation, confidence, independence, and stronger day-to-day functioning. I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals and helping families navigate the behavioral, social, emotional, and parenting challenges that often accompany autism spectrum disorder. I also treat commonly co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, OCD, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, and behavioral difficulties, using practical, individualized strategies tailored to each person and family’s unique needs.
