About Me

I'm Vance, and I have a story to share—a journey of personal transformation and rediscovery. Once a prodigal lost in uncertainty, I walked away from God and called myself Ronin, symbolizing my pursuit of self-mastery and independence. I believed I could be my own 'god' and achieve self-perfection. But life had other plans. Tragedy struck, revealing my true powerlessness and pettiness.

My road to redemption was arduous, akin to the tale of the Prodigal Son. I traversed valleys of trauma, grief, introspection, and self-hatred before finding my way back to the light. This second chance at life transformed me, redirecting my focus from self-serving endeavors to helping others.

From this journey, The Rogue Scholar was born.
