About

I was born in Merced, California, and at twelve years old my mother, sister, and I moved to Tampa, Florida. That move became the starting point for the life and work I built later on.

​

My path into relationship guidance began long before I wrote any books. In 2014, I created the Ask Dr. Linq platform as a place for women to receive unbiased clarity about men and the patterns they were facing in their relationships. I spent years answering questions, studying real situations, and doing what many men avoid. I listened. Over time I learned that most women carry the weight of raising children, and when their relationships are unstable or painful, that trauma can pass on to both sons and daughters. Helping women gain clarity and stability creates stronger families, and that became a responsibility I took seriously.

​

My guidance comes from real life, not a classroom. I do not rely on formal titles. My insight comes from being a man, observing men, and paying attention to the behavior, decisions, and stories of the men around me. I explain what men often do not say out loud, using lived experience and honest observation instead of academic theory.

​

Before I became an author, I was guiding the women around me, including friends like Whitney Nicole, who encouraged me to share my voice publicly. What started as everyday conversations grew into an online community and eventually a purpose.

​

In 2014, I began writing Know Thy Man because I wanted women to understand the mindset of men with clarity and confidence. That book was supposed to be my first, but creativity took me in other directions. I wrote The Mind of a Jerk, In Love with a Stranger, and Last Words to a Dying Heart before completing Know Thy Man in 2024. Ten years of growth and experience went into the version that exists today.

​

What began as answering questions has become a mission to give women the truth, understanding, and emotional clarity they need to protect their hearts, strengthen their families, and break generational cycles through real knowledge and real conversation.
