I rebuilt my life, then I built companies. Here's the whole story.

I'm Don Cummins. In 2011, I thought there was no hope for someone like me. I was homeless. I was battling severe addiction. I was on disability for my mental health. I had already spent more than twenty years in prison — and I had an outstanding bank robbery charge that could have put me away for the rest of my life.

Then I had a moment of clarity, and I decided to turn it around. I got clean, found my worth, and started rebuilding my reality from absolute zero.

The transformation didn't stop at surviving. I taught myself to code, worked my way up to VP of Product and Tech Development, and built a career across legal, health, and financial technology. I've architected the cloud infrastructure behind startups that became multi-million dollar compaines, and built global engineering teams from the ground up.

Today I live in Durango, Colorado with my wife and two boys — raising goats and chickens, and hitting the mountain bike trails, and living the dream. I help others find their own way forward, whether with tech or doing their own 180. Because if I can do it, so can you.
