Strength is among the most important things to me. I hold myself to extreme standards, and I do things that no one would do just to prove to myself I am strong enough to deserve the things I desire. There is someone important in my life who taught me the concept of Sisu or Sisukas.

True grit, determination, strength of will, some things English speakers can use to have an understanding of Sisu, however, it is much deeper than that.

"Sisu will get you through granite." that was a quote I found when I began researching the term. I believe I am a human who possess Sisu. In dark moments, when I feel empty and destroyed, when I think I can't possibly go on, Sisu pops in my head, and like a tank, I push on through the darkness and strengthen myself to be there for other who get lost in the dark too.

We all got this. I will help you make it through. I am a man with Sisu.

“I am a man of great passions, a fire burns so bright within me my hair is the color of conflagration. But even with all this light somedays the dark is so vast I'm only blinding myself.”

I found myself in these custom masks. I found purpose in these designs. I genuinely love connecting with people and sharing stories, and am a fierce mental health advocate, as I have struggled and continue to struggle. I am hoping this website, and the community I build through these designs, creations, streams and more will help others find themselves, their passions, and their purposes. We are all in this together.
