This book is the 1st compendium of my life story and work. I have lived experience of bipolar 1, and a vision disability, and that informs everything I've done. Looking back at the past decade of my life, and all I've accomplished to date, I can see it all in perfect focus, and I can see the guiding will of God moving through my life, bringing me through my relationships, and setting me on the paths I've not just walked, but the paths I've paved.
I've organized and build communities 150+ members strong
I've built a company and game project off of the fuel of passion alone.
I've not just influenced but have literally saved lives.
I've done research summarizing and highlighting my findings, so others can carry on the legacy of Honor I've started
The journey has been long, and it's been hard, but as I write this, I'm beginning a new chapter of my life, and I couldn't be humbler and prouder.
This book includes all the people, communities and projects I care about, and what has shaped me into the man, leader, and founder I am today.
I hope this lived experience of Bipolar 1 helps break the stigma shrouding mental health, both in general, and specifically in the creative industries I've been privileged to be a part of.
I wish to continue a dialog on these subjects, and show that Mental health issues are indeed double-edged swords that are core to who we are.
This book contains select documents of snap shots in time of my Tiberium Secrets mod, a passion project that looks to the future of the Command & Conquer video game franchise.
This book contains a new theory and model of mental health that is called "The PPF Model" = The Past Present and Future model, which aims to ground mental health discussions in common understandable terms.
Thanks to all the unsung heroes in my life, I would not be who I am without all of you.
It's time for a new challenge.
The Future is Bright!
