If you feel the pull toward the paranormal or toward anything that makes people question your sanity, your reality, or the path you’ve chosen—listen to it. Truly listen. Because that pull? That curiosity? That’s where every journey begins. It’s never too late to start. Never too late to try something new. Never too late to step into the unknown and say, “I want to see for myself.” People may doubt you. They may laugh. But the universe has always belonged to the ones brave enough to ask questions and walk forward anyway.

I’ve spent more than 20 years in the paranormal, moving through places filled with history, emotion, and things we still don’t fully understand. I’ve worked with incredible people, investigated both famous and deeply personal locations, and experienced moments that changed me forever. And out of respect for those places, for those teams, for the lives and stories tied to them I share my past carefully, from the middle ground. No names. No locations. Just the truth of what was felt and what was learned. Because this field, this strange and beautiful pursuit of the unknown, deserves integrity.

I’m grateful for every person I’ve worked beside and every location that allowed me to walk its halls. Some I’ll return to. Some I won’t. Some doors close because of time, some because of intention, and a very few… because of what happened there. But every step mattered. Every experience shaped the path.

The paranormal should never be a closed circle. It should be open, welcoming full of wonder and understanding for anyone brave enough to explore it. So if you feel that call, follow it. Dive in. Ask the questions. Take the risk. Because even if you walk away with nothing more than a story, that story becomes part of you. And if you’re lucky… you’ll walk away with moments that stay with you for the rest of your life.

As for me, I’m stepping into the next chapter now. The next 20 years, the next adventures, the next unknowns they’re tied to Sealed by Ink Paranormal. Everything behind me isn’t forgotten… it’s the prologue. The story that shaped who I became, and the reason I keep moving forward.

Because the journey never really ends. It just… changes form.
