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.

Blank pages.Blinking cursors.I look at one every day, multiple times a day, whether it’s an entry for this blog, or a word document, an empty spreadsheet, an email I’m crafting. I don’t regularly get hung up on these things, because with each of these blank pages and blinking cursors exist with both potential and purpose…
a thousand papercuts
I never in a million years would have described myself as someone with anxiety. And I still don’t. The end. Well, not not exactly. Do I have clinical anxiety? no. Do I get anxious about things? Yes, I suppose we all do, but I honestly thought I might be the exception to the rule, because…
