My company, Jasper Builds, isn’t just a company. It’s a reflection of what happens when two people decide to rebuild life with intention. This post shares the story behind our business, what it taught me about leadership, and how building homes helped me build myself.

For years, I followed the path laid out for me. Until one day, I realized I was living someone else’s story. This post is about the moment I decided to take the pen back — and what unfolded when I finally started writing life on my own terms.

I’m not writing Dreams That Matter to tell a perfect story. I’m writing it to tell the truth. This post is about how the book came to be, who it’s for, and why I believe our dreams — and our voices — matter more than we’re taught to believe.

This space was never meant to be polished or performative. It was meant to be honest. If you’re navigating transition, rebuilding from scratch, or craving clarity, welcome. This is where we begin — with truth, with vision, and with full ownership of the life we’re here to create.
