About the author

My name is Adam. I am an observer of the human struggle, and I’ve experienced it from multiple angles. I’ve been on the front lines of chaos and crisis. As a state trooper, I saw what happens when people break. When life, circumstance, and split-second decisions push them past the point of no return. I’ve witnessed the best and worst of humanity, stood in the middle of moments most people never have to see, and learned just how thin the line is between “having it together” and crashing into the rocks. Now, in mental health, I help people pick up the pieces. I work with first responders, trauma survivors, and anyone who knows what it feels like to carry burdens too heavy to hold alone. I’ve spent years walking alongside people in pain that words can’t explain—the silent battles, unbearable grief, and the unspoken fears that keep people stuck in the mud. With a master’s in clinical counseling, I am in residency and pursuing a PhD in Trauma-Informed Care. I also have credentials in Critical Incident Stress Management (CCISM) and have worked with hundreds of first responders from across the state, country, and world, helping them navigate the weight of their humanity in a world that expects them to be unbreakable, emotionless machines. My experience with struggle isn’t just professional; it’s personal. I know what it’s like to question everything. Including life itself. To wonder if change is possible. To feel trapped by the past, circumstances, and a world that thrives on keeping people stuck. I’ve been there. I’ve fought through it. I still am, and I try to help others do the same. That’s why I created the S.H.I.F.T. Framework ™. Not just as another self-help formula but as a wake-up call. A blueprint for breaking cycles, seeing through the bullshit, and taking back the power that was never meant to be handed over in the first place. When I’m not traveling around the state looking for the next soul to hopefully leave a positive impact on, you’ll catch me throwing a little boy in the air, laughing with the funniest person I know, snuggling with an army of dogs, and trying to figure out what the hell we’re all doing.

I was lucky enough to read a few of chapters of this book! And it is absolutely amazing! I am bias due to a personal connection with the author but it really did deeply resonate with me. I think it will resonate very much with our generation as well! I hope you guys all enjoy it as much as I did!!
