One of the reasons why I started Half Life Crisis is because I have a lot to say, and the best way for me to communicate is through my writing. And I write a lot! 

Read Our Articles

My writing style is nonfiction, thought-provoking, and mind-blowing. I put a warning on the covers because they will make you see the world in a new way. 

Our Original Books

The second reason why we started Half Life Crisis was because Sammy showed an affinity for the arts. Hence this became her platform, and today we share it other artists.

Our Story in a Few Words

Welcome to Half Life Crisis™! If you scrolled down this far, please know that you’re awesome and we appreciate you! This is a quick story about Half Life Crisis™.


I had the idea of starting Half Life Crisis™ after visiting friends in Easter Europe back in 2011.  Essentially, I was starting a chapter in my life with my new family and -wham! – I got an epiphany.  I’m so lucky to leave each day to the fullest, yet life moves so freaking fast! Finally, before 202 came to an end, I got a chance to sit down and upload this project online.


Long story short, I wanted to create a virtual place where I get to share (and rant) about stuff that has worked out for me while trying to live as an adult. I am a lucky guy who shares a domicile with two wonderful ladies (who are generally kind enough to tolerate my shenanigans, as seen in this picture with my daughter).

Hope you enjoy our site; it is growing a lot more than we ever imagined! Please bookmark this site, tell all your friends, and come visit us often!
