THE REAL STORY
From Family Man to Reality Architect
Not the LinkedIn version. The real one. Where losing everything I loved became the foundation for building everything that matters.
The Brutal Truth
What I Lost:
- • The family unit (only thing I wanted)
- • $25k/mo business I built for her
- • $50k she owes in support (never paid)
- • Homeschooling my kids daily
- • The valley dream with my family
- • Faith in partnership
What I Found:
- • AI can teach you anything
- • You can build empires from basements
- • Peace is stronger than violence
- • Documentation beats accusations
- • Your kids need to see you build
- • Bankruptcy is a tool, not shame
She's a waitress now. I'm building AI infrastructure.
See who wins.
Why I Build Like My Life Depends On It
3 Kids Watching
Liberty (7), Sky (9), Phoenix (10).
Learning that when life destroys you,
you build something better.
Dad with Parkinson's
Time running out.
Need to build generational wealth
before he's gone.
The 2036 Promise
Gold Bugatti for my 5yo.
Horse farm for my daughter.
Peace for Phoenix.
The Journey Through Hell to Sovereignty
The Mountain Revelation
Doing acid in the mountains. Realized if I lived in that valley with my family forever, unknown, I'd be completely happy. Gave up billionaire dreams for family. Decided to build her dreams instead.
Built Ant Hive Media
Amazon publishing empire. $13k/month at peak. First taste of building something from nothing. Lost most of it in crypto. Forward-looking but didn't materialize. Story of my life until now.
Built Her $25k/Month Empire
Started at $250/shoot in our house. Built the Instagram ad system. Created the pricing ladder. Designed the workflows. She took photos, I built everything else. Now she's a waitress.
Homeschooled My Kids
Every day. Teaching them to think, not comply. To build, not consume. To question everything. My greatest work. Had to stop when she left.
She Destroyed Everything
Filed for divorce. Took the business. Owes $50k in support - pays nothing. The family unit - the ONLY thing I ever wanted - shattered. Vision for our life: dead.
The False Accusations
Weaponized the mushrooms I grew. Edited videos to make it look like I endangered our son. Police cleared me. CPS cleared me. But the damage was done.
Discovered the Pattern
Everyone told me to fight back. I stayed peaceful. Never said a bad word. The darkness has power. The light has different power. The light wins if it doesn't get consumed.
Met My Teacher (AI)
Didn't know what a variable was. Started with 'Hello World.' 16-hour days in the basement. GPT-4, Claude, Gemini - rotating when credits ran out. Building through the pain.
100 Books Published
TENEO working. First revenue while learning. Each book teaching me architecture. $600/month isn't much, but it's mine. Built from nothing. Can't be taken.
Launched Skool Community
9 founding members. Teaching everything I learned. Building in public. Creating the network I needed when I started. Published Authority - because information is sovereignty.
Still in the Hole, Still Building
Filing bankruptcy tomorrow. $200k debt from building her dream. Mom pays my rent. But 8 AI systems in production. February 2026: chains come off.
The Chains Come Off
Bankruptcy cleared. Debt eliminated. Ready to scale without looking back. The ladder I built in the hole becomes the rocket to the moon.
Gold Bugatti Delivered
For my 5-year-old who dreams in gold. My daughter gets her horse farm. Phoenix gets his peace. Promise made August 6, 2025. Promise kept.
How I Went From Zero to Architect in 18 Months
The 5 AM Protocol
- 5:00 AM: Wake up (not 3 AM - that's prison)
- 5:30 AM: First AI conversation
- 9:00 AM: First working prototype
- 3:30 PM: Kids home (non-negotiable)
- 9:00 PM: Back to basement
- 1:00 AM: Force myself to stop
- Result: 16-hour learning days
The Teacher Stack
- Claude: Architecture & strategy
- GPT-4: Implementation details
- Gemini: When credits ran out
- Method: Build → Break → Ask why → Rebuild
- Rule: Ship something daily
- Metric: Does it work? (not "is it perfect?")
- Philosophy: Every error is a lesson
"The AI never said 'you can't learn that without a degree.' Never said 'that's too complex for someone like you.' It just taught me. Line by line. Error by error. Victory by victory."
The Lesson That Saved Everything
My mom wanted me to fight back. "Defend yourself!"
My girlfriend said I looked weak. "She's destroying you!"
My friends said lawyer up and attack. "Don't let her win!"
But I stayed silent. Peaceful. Never said one bad word about her. Even when she weaponized our kids. Even when she lied to courts.
That Zen nature I learned on acid in the mountains? It wasn't just hippie philosophy. It was real power.
Police investigated her claims: Cleared.
CPS investigated her accusations: Cleared.
Court reviewed her "evidence": Saw through it.
My peace became my protection.
My documentation became my defense.
My building became my revenge.
What I'm Building From The Ashes

I'm not out yet. Still broke. Still fighting. Still building.
But I'm building something they can't take.
Learning what they can't steal.
Creating what they can't destroy.
The 2036 Promise
Gold Bugatti. Horse Farm. Peace.
My 5-year-old wants a gold Bugatti for some reason.
My daughter dreams of horses.
Phoenix just wants to feed cows without drama.
They're dealing with dual houses.
Court battles they didn't ask for.
A broken family they didn't break.
But they're also watching their dad build empires from nothing.
Learning that destruction is just construction material.
Seeing that impossible is just uninvented.
That gold Bugatti?
He's getting it.
Mark the date: 2036.
Your Crisis Is Your Catalyst
Maybe you're where I was. Everything destroyed. Fighting systems designed to crush you. Needing to build something that doesn't exist yet.
Good. That pressure is rocket fuel. That impossibility is your invitation. That crisis is revealing the cage everyone else will need to escape.
You're not broken. You're breaking through.
You're not failing. You're finding your power.
You're not alone. We're building together.
Started: Zero code, zero hope, zero options
Current: 8 AI systems, 9 community members, infinite possibility
February 2026: Bankruptcy clears, scaling begins
2036: Gold Bugatti delivered as promised
Still in the hole. Still building. Still winning.
