The Mission

Why This Music Exists

I write these songs because I've lived on both sides of the conversation. I'm the veteran who has stared into the abyss, and I'm the therapist who has sat with hundreds of warriors as they stared into theirs. I know the clinical language for our wounds, but more importantly, I know the silence, the anger, and the ache that words can't always touch.

This music is my bridge between those two worlds. My work toward a PhD in Artificial Intelligence is part of that mission—using 21st-century tools to fight 21st-century battles. If AI can help me craft the right words to reach one veteran in the dark, then I'll use every tool available. This isn't about being a traditional artist; it's about building a lifeline.

A Three-Part Journey Home

Redemption (2024)

This is the raw, unfiltered story of hitting rock bottom. It's about the denial, the crisis, the 3 AM reckonings, and the painful first steps toward admitting you need help.

Hands That Heal (2025)

This is about the work. It’s about the scars we don't show, the therapy sessions, the difficult conversations with family, and learning to carry the weight without letting it crush you.

After the Uniform (2026)

This explores the loss of identity when the mission is over. It's about finding a new purpose, a new "uniform," and a new way to serve when the war is done but the warrior remains.

My vision for this music isn't about charts or awards. It's about connection. It's a signal to say: You are not alone. Your fight is my fight. We are still in this together.
