Hello, I'm Billy.

I'm an educator of 20+ years turned podcast host and community builder focused on helping people navigate the complexities and possibilities of life with more clarity and intention. After stepping away from my role as a Dean of Students, I spent several years traveling across five continents—an experience that reshaped how I think about work, identity, and what meaningful experiences actually look like. Today, I am a Lead Facilitator and Creative Director of FreeWriters, a creative mental reset where participants from around the world follow their thoughts and express themselves through five-minute bursts of writing. FreeWriters exists to give people a simple, accessible way to move their thoughts out of their heads and onto the page. Our mission is to help individuals, families, and communities clear mental noise, express themselves honestly, and create connection — without pressure to perform, explain, or "get it right." What often starts as nonsense often turns into something honest and cathartic. That’s the power of FreeWriters. I’m also creating courses where I guide professionals through questions around midlife reinvention, sober curiosity, and adult gap year design. Through these courses, we explore what happens when we stop defaulting to habits and start making more conscious choices. Across all of it, the goal is the same: helping people move through change with clarity, confidence, and intention. I’m incredibly grateful to the people who follow me on this journey. I don’t have all the answers, and most of the time I’m still figuring shit out, but through our shared experiences, we’re able to reflect, connect, and grow. Thank you for being part of this all-encompassing trip. May you feel happy, healthy, and loved. Take care, friends…
