I Am Is And Was™

The Builder 

 

I am currently in the trenches. Building from a very real place, with very real constraints, on a foundation that most people would look at and call impossible. And in my heart and in my mind I already hold the entire universe and all its infinite possibilities right here in the palm of my hand. 

 

Those two things are not a contradiction. They're the whole point. 

 

One day I made a decision to stand up and build something. One day. One song. One blog at a time. That decision has produced two complete albums. Ninety blogs and counting. A Book of Wisdom being written in real time. Coloring books. Courses. A digital library. A growing community. And a brand — I Am Is and Was ™ — that I could feel long before I could see it. 

 

The Creator 

​

I learn something new every single day. And every single thing I learn becomes another tool. Another room in the empire. Another thread in the web. 

 

I write from lived experience — not from theory, not from a position of having already arrived, but from the exact place where the work is happening right now. The blogs are real. The songs are real. The philosophy has been walked through, not just read about. 

 

I am a former video store manager who watched everything that came out for five years straight and took three titles home every single night. I am an entrepreneur that has run companies and owned two, I am a songwriter who has written more than 32 songs because the music does not wait for permission. I am a student and explorer of the Twelve Hermetic Laws, Gnostic tradition, and spirituality — because the universe has always been trying to explain itself to anyone willing to listen. 

 

The Map 

​

I am mapping everything I build for anyone who wants to follow. 

Not as a guru. Not as someone who has completed the climb and is reaching back from the top. As someone still on the ladder — showing you exactly where to put your hands and feet because I just figured it out and the ground is still fresh. 

 

The wins get shared here. The losses get shared here. The days the words flow and the days they don’t. The days the empire feels inevitable and the days it feel like starting over from scratch. 

All of it. Because the building IS the teaching. And the truth is the only thing I have ever had that nobody could take from me. 

​

Why This Exists 

​

I Am Is and Was ™ exists because I believe one thing above everything else: 

“Your story isn’t over. It’s just getting to the good part.” 

 

The blogs, the music, the teachings, the courses, the coloring books, the digital library — all of it exists to give you permission to keep going. To show you that the tools exist, the path is mappable, and that someone who has been through the fire can walk back into it and come out building something worth standing in. 

 

You don’t have to have it figured out. You don’t have to be ready. You just have to make one decision. 

​

Try. 

That’s all. Just try. The rest of us will be right here.

​

Namaste. 👋
