Life with Uncle Rev

Catch wrestler. Mentor. Coach. Educator. Yoga teacher. Counselor-in-training. I believe we’re all works in progress caught up in this beautiful, crazy, and sometimes complex thing called life. In an attempt to make some sense of the many ebbs and flows that life presents us with, ‘Life with Uncle Rev’ aims to reflect on the intricacies of life through an exploration of my own personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
