About Me

They say that nothing worth doing is easy. Like every one of us, I’ve had my bumps in the road. But if you ask me, I’ll always tell you that I wouldn’t change a thing. Why? Because my journey has taught me how to be the man I am today.
I landed in the world of vanlife through misfortune and with a helluva bump! But here I am, creating a business out of my life's escapades and adventures.
My life IS my job. And I love it!
Laid Bare Media was born from the fruits of The Saga Of Calamity Shane, a brutally honest blog page on Facebook about my vanlife, my own journey with PTSD and men's mental health. Calamity Shane has been and remains an immensely popular blog and has helped many people with their own journey.

My Values
My business is more than just a job. In fact, I have made my life my job. Each time I take on a new project, I make sure it aligns with my core set of values so I know I can deliver the results you require.
My Mission
It’s easy to do great things when you believe in what you do. That’s why I’m committed to writing for more people like you, every day. My ultimate mission is to inspire people to write more, get out more, believe in themselves.
My Motivation
My writing is my purpose, my driving force. It's the reason I get up every day and do what I do. Most importantly, it keeps pushing me to achieve bigger and better things with each new challenge.
