I’m Davey, and I’m a lot of things. I’m a musician and a writer – primarily of songs, but I’ve branched out from there into a few things including this blog. I write, record, & perform with a rock & roll band called The Confusionaires. I’m also a father, a divorcee, a boyfriend, an addict, a student, vintage auto enthusiast, and more recently – an athlete (which also makes me a late bloomer).

At one point in my late 20’s I crested 340 lbs. I struggled through trying a laundry list of ways to improve my health, but if I’m being honest I really wasn’t trying very hard until November of 2018 when I found and formulated a plan that facilitated a slow & steady plan that got me down to 174 lbs. – roughly half of the weight I once was, a decade later.

This transformation not only allowed me to get in touch with a younger and more vital version of myself with bigger dreams and a better drive, it also allowed me to foster stronger relationships with my friends and family, and my environment. Now, as I push myself to grow and evolve and take on new challenges, I hope to encourage those around me to up their game as well.

Blog posts go up Saturday mornings with consistency, and videos get posted to my YouTube channel on occasion.

here we go again

We’re a couple days into 2026 now, and although I’ve done my level best to clean up my feed, there’s still so much negative posting about 2025… celebrity deaths being the main culprit, I suppose, as there’s been a bunch of those in the past little while. I’ve got some real sour news for everyone.…

another spin

I suppose it’s that time now. If I’m being completely frank, I’m entirely satisfied that the interruption of my regularly scheduled food regimen and workout schedule is coming to an end. The holiday hours at my gym are less than ideal and at the risk of sounding like a total grinch, the notion that Christmas…
