​​ I am not your typical professor, at least compared to many of the ones I've encountered. I like a little more color and magic in my zone than what is often found in a university classroom. Throughout my years, I have discovered that I am much more of an intellectual artist than any other label I have tried on...philosopher, teacher... although those certainly all exist within me.  I've never had a taste for the norm, so as I move toward being completely free of the confines of this reality, I do my best to bring my essence into the various roles I have taken on.

 

I grew up in a small town and engaged in my fair share of farm work, but always possessed a craving for adventure.  I found those adventures through imagination and in books. And still today, epic tales of love, adventure, and drama remain one of my favorite companions. My personal development has led me to continually seek the new, as I am driven by a desire to understand the unknown and escape the mundane. As such, I  am and will remain an instigator of growth and change whether it is embarking on a new adventure, moving to a new location, or simply redecorating my home. I have constantly journeyed forward, mostly solo, while many of those I've known often remain. It took time to understand that despite the feeling of familiarity that many long to sustain, I could never remain in places where the light had dimmed and fulfillment was absent. My time on Earth has been full of transition as if I have lived many lives within one and though many may claim I have done so much, it seems as if my bucket list never shrinks in relation to my experience. Regardless of where I have ventured, my drive to seek authentic connections and expand my knowledge across multiple domains and alternate realms does not diminish. 
 

Despite being in superhero mode to complete my academic quests, guiding in nontraditional ways that fulfill various creative pursuits will always be my preference. Beyond entertainment, connecting ideas across domains and using storytelling as a means to learn has been a most creative and effective guide, especially for those underexposed to adequate role models and proper developmental nourishment. Through the Light Warrior series and thoughts shared on my YouTube, Illuminated Actualization, my stories and skills combine with the intention of assisting others who are drawn to similar thought patterns. No matter the reason you have journeyed my way, I hope you encounter something here that surfaces the authenticity within so that you may have the courage to express a little more of who you are with each passing day.

​Luv,

Nix
