About Me

The Journey So Far

Hey, I’m Tory. I’ve always been someone who thrives on challenge—whether it’s solving engineering problems, building a business, or pushing my own limits in health, relationships, and personal growth. My life has been a constant balancing act between structured logic and creative exploration.

By day, I’m an engineer, working through complex systems and making sense of the world through numbers and analysis. But my passions extend far beyond my career. I’m deeply interested in philosophy, history, personal finance, politics, health, business, and the paradoxes of life—the things that shape how we think, live, and grow.

Why I Started This Blog

I created this space as a way to explore, refine, and share the insights I’ve gained. Too often, complex ideas—whether in finance, politics, or philosophy—are buried under jargon and conflicting information. My goal is to break down those barriers, distilling difficult concepts into actionable, clear takeaways that help people make smarter decisions in life.

At the core of everything I write is the principle of humble confidence—the ability to push forward with conviction while staying open to growth and learning. I believe that embracing this mindset leads to smarter decision-making, stronger relationships, and a more fulfilling life.

Life Beyond the Blog

At home, I’m a husband, a father, and a dog owner. Family is everything to me, and I’m constantly working to be a better husband, a more present father, and a leader in my own home. My wife and I are building our life in Huntsville, and while ambition drives me, I’ve come to appreciate that true success isn’t just about what you achieve—it’s about the relationships you build along the way.

Outside of writing, I spend my time running, lifting, experimenting with business ideas, and diving into history and philosophy. I also have a passion for connecting with like-minded people who want to learn, grow, and challenge themselves.
