Do you want the autonomy to live each day on your own terms?

If so, you’re not alone. Far too many of us follow society’s path, only realizing too late that there’s no such thing as a do-over. But there’s a better way to live—right now—with an unprecedented level of autonomy and authenticity.

Do you hear your own authentic voice deep within you, telling you it’s time to do something different? If so, this book is for you.

I was in the exact same spot when I stepped away from everything I knew to pursue a profound sense of purpose. In my latest book, I share my journey into the unknown. Through my early struggles and setbacks to an ultimate triumph; living life on my own terms.

If you’re looking for a map that can take you “offroad” into your own authentic life, pick up Against the Grain—and find your own calling.

About Craig

I’m a husband, father, and entrepreneur. A former senior-level manager in a Fortune 500 company and a long-time private business owner, I grew up following “society’s rules” and one day found myself mired in the embalming fluid of Corporate America. 

Against the Grain is my story about the struggles I went through to break free and design a life that aligned with my values and what’s most important to me. A process that lead me to start a business that aligned with my purpose and carve out the time I craved to enjoy life with the people I love most. Today, I use my personal experience to help others kick down their own walls and create lives filled with freedom.
