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.

emotionally i’m a celebrity
“Emotionally I’m a celebrity” That’s a line from an Iggy Pop song, but I sorta love it and I think it’s a fair descriptor of how I feel sometimes – although, yes, I DO understand that ol’ Iggy is takin’ the piss over a generation of punk rockers who don’t understand punk rock. Maybe it…
coaxed out of my little world
It’s funny how a diagnosis for something you’ve had for your entire life without ever knowing it can change your perspective. Before this blog took the shape of it’s current container, it was primarily based around my relationship with my environment, which is a pretty broad field that encompasses fitness, art, my dog, interactions with…
