Who Am I?

Years ago, I began using unconventional techniques borrowed from missing persons investigations and clandestine grave searches—methods built for uncovering the forgotten. That approach led me to a stunning discovery: a 16th-century shipwreck survivor campsite, hidden in plain sight.

I reported it to the state of Florida—before the nearby discovery of the famed French ship La Trinité. What I didn’t report were the original coordinates I still hold, buried deeper than any map. After witnessing how quickly government claims and competition can cloud discoveries, I learned one critical truth: some secrets are best protected until the time is right.

That moment is now.

Raising Relics is my way of telling those stories—through books, artifacts, and exclusive content that blend real history with immersive storytelling. The goal isn’t just to uncover lost treasures. It’s to revive the voices history tried to silence.

This is more than a project—it’s a calling.

If you're ready to chase something real, welcome aboard.

I'm not your typical treasure hunter!
