I don’t just *orbit the orbit*—I *launch into the unknown*... exploring every galaxy of shoes I can find! From cosmic sneakers to stellar sandals, I’m on a mission to step into lives, stories, and perspectives that expand universes and illuminate hearts.

Fueled by my faith in Jesus, the gravitational pull of my amazing wife Elizabeth, and my unwavering loyalty to the University of North Carolina, my journey began in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina but found its trajectory in Southern Oregon. Every day, my curiosity propels me to suit up and dive into the cosmic sparks that ignite people—their passions, struggles, and victories.

I founded *Other People's Shoes* with an interstellar vision: to help listeners across the globe view life through new dimensions. Inspired by Elizabeth’s encouragement and my belief that empathy can traverse even the vastest voids, my podcast is a space where stories are shared, connections are formed, and lives are transformed, one step—or light-year—at a time.

After all, when you step into *Other People's Shoes*, you open a portal to a universe of insight, compassion, and growth. Every episode is an invitation to fasten your boots, ignite your thrusters, and take a walk through perspectives that just might change your world. 🌌👟
