About Eagleye Forum
I’m a high school dropout who took the long road to learning; navigating life through hands-on experience rather than a traditional classroom. The education system might have failed me, but life didn’t. Along the way, I’ve crossed paths with remarkable teachers: some you learn to live by, others you learn to walk away from.
I started out in “blue-collar” trades, but my curiosity always pulled me toward computers and “white-collar” skills. Over the years, I’ve worked across a variety of industries; from restaurants and solar to nonprofits and education. I’ve built websites, written and published novels, and continue to create and build in every way I can.
At heart, I’m an entrepreneur with a passion for helping others, especially those who, like me, didn’t find their path through traditional schooling. This is why I have been wanting to focus on education, working to open doors and create new opportunities for people who need them the most.
I’ve seen how people and leadership shape the workplace, some operate with humility, just trying to keep their integrity intact. Others get caught up in power, titles, and control. The challenges of COVID only made these dynamics more apparent, exposing both fear and insecurity on one side, and quiet strength and resilience on the other. Like most, my outlook about people, the workplace, and life in general shifted drastically;
Pre-COVID
- Private Restauants- 4 years
- Corporate Tire Industry- 6 years
- Private Solar Industry- 8 years
- Corporate Store Clerk- 2 years
- Private Nightclub Secuirty- 6 years
- Government Public Utilities- 5 years
Post-COVID
- Non-profit organization- <1 year
- 2nd non-profit organization- <1 year
- Private Manufacturer- <1 year
- Government Education- <1 year in 2 separate roles (Active)
Most of these years were focused on all the skilled trades in Industrial and Commercial settings under Facility/Utility Management, but I also spent most of these years off the clock taking advantage of knowledge from the internet as well, focusing a lot on computer science and software programs like web design, graphic design, excel spreadsheets, and a variety of others to help sharpen my craft all the way around.
I am a “jack of all trades, master of none” but in reality, I think the main skills I have mastered over the years are
- The ability to adapt to any environment
- The ability to overcome most, if not all, obstacles I jump into.
I may not be the best at anything, but I am pretty good at most things.
I created this site back in 2014 as an informative one, but as AI software grows, and any information is literally at our fingertips. I feel it is time to bring my real world experiences and share things that helped me travel through that variety of fields.
The foundation of what I learned was from great teachers and on the job training. That helped open up my mind to so many other avenues, enhanced my creative side, and woke up the critical thinking part of my brain, and I am hoping this site can help do the same for others.
Recently I published a couple books and plan to write more fictional ones down the road, but I am always trying to learn new things so I am also studying game devolpment and focusing on teaching skilled trades and life skills to high school level students.
This site primarily exists for thinkers, creators, and doers who want to question, learn, and build something better. You’ll find tech tutorials, deep dives into history and culture, DIY projects, and interactive storytelling, all designed to help you sharpen your vision, think for yourself, learn new skills, and maybe share some of yours.
If that resonates with you, welcome. Let’s walk this path together, one sharp thought at a time.
