A New Beginning: Breathing Life into a Dream

Nepal, 2024

The story behind a dream, a leap of faith, and a company built on joy, purpose, and perseverance.

This project, We — Community With Purpose, is born from something deeply personal: my love for life, my awe for the world, and my genuine desire to share joy, energy, and unshakable optimism.

I’ve always believed that life is meant to be lived boldly, with open arms and an open heart. That belief has taken me to mountaintops, through valleys, and now into the adventure of building something bigger than myself.

I still remember the day, when I was still part of corporate America, I was presenting my latest program. I was leading an amazing team in the world of technology — a world I loved, but for a long time, I had been longing for something more meaningful to me.

At the time, I was recovering from an issue that limited my eyesight and made it impossible to drive. Weekdays felt limiting. But weekends? They were filled with joy. I could hike and climb in the Pacific Northwest — feel my heart pounding, my breath deepen, and the power of my own determination to summit peaks.

That day, my entire presentation was inspired by the mountains. I spoke about the parallels between climbing and building a program from the ground up — about grit, resilience, and the rewards of the view from the top. And people lit up. They weren’t just listening to the content — they were drawn to the metaphor, the passion. Afterward, they came up to ask about the hiking, the mountains.

That’s when I knew: I couldn’t keep this passion contained.
I had to dedicate the best of who I am to this new path — a mission rooted in my love for life, for people, and for the world.

I’m here to share my journey — the wins, the missteps, the lessons — in the hope that it inspires you to start (or keep going on) your own.

Whether you're climbing actual mountains or pushing through personal ones, I want this space to remind you that you’re not alone — and that the view from the top is worth every step.

Let’s conquer some peaks together!
