I am a Mahayana Buddhist and writer living in the heartland of America. I grew up on a farm and spent a large amount of time outside and in the woods, a childhood I would not trade for anything.
I am the founder of The Ardent Axiom, a platform and podcast for mental health understanding and Mahayana Buddhist teachings. I am a behavioral health advocate, a certified peer specialist, and a professional development instructor. I read and write about various topics including Buddhism, suicide awareness and prevention, nature, astronomy, genealogy, behavioral health and psychology, environmentalism, politics, as well as some fictional writing.
I've been writing since the year 2000, after a teacher encouraged me to never stop. I am inspired by the works of Thich Nhat Hanh, Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Ralph Emerson, Henry Thoreau, Marcus Aurelius, Viktor Frankl, Jane Goodall, Kahlil Gibran, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and the list goes on.
