A Journey of Self-Discovery

Life isn't neat. It's a chaotic mix of profound grief and exhilarating possibility. Welcome to the raw, honest account of my journey: a father navigating the loss of a child, traveling the world for new perspective, and relentlessly pushing the limits while training for a 70.3 triathlon. If you're looking for surface-level platitudes, keep scrolling. If you're ready to delve into real introspection, hard-won lessons, and the messy process of self-discovery, this is where your journey begins. Take a trip with me and delve into my personal journey, recounting past experiences, and embracing new ones. Allowing introspection to guide me towards self-discovery and growth, as I reflect on the lessons learned and the life-changing moments encountered along the way.

About me

I’m Ted: a father of two, a global traveler, and someone navigating the complex, often messy reality of a life profoundly marked by change.

For me, self-discovery wasn’t a choice; it became a necessity. This path began in the wake of the deepest possible grief: the loss of my child. I share that story, including the search for peace described in posts like “Finding Peace in Alex’s Ocean,” because I believe the hardest parts of life deserve the most honest reflection.

This blog is where I process it all—the triumphs, the grief, the lessons learned, and the small, life-changing moments encountered along the way. If you are also seeking growth, chasing a challenge, or simply looking for an honest voice on the human experience, you are in the right place.

Let’s discover what we’re capable of, together.
