Our Story: Death is inevitable.
The only thing that’s guaranteed in life is death.
I learned that at a very young age after losing my brother Ryan to heart disease.
If death is inevitable, then how do we make our version of success inevitable during the short time that we get to be alive?
I think most people become adults and let the craziness of life put them in a permanent reaction state before they ever get a chance to define what they actually want.
I needed a system to earn freedom while I was still young enough to enjoy it fully.
In 2022 I went all in on personal development and discovered the idea of rating your week from Rob Dyrdek on the Impaulsive podcast. That’s when it clicked for me.
I was already tracking all kinds of sales and fitness metrics but not tracking any of the things that would actually move me closer to the version of my life I knew could exist.
I found that my unique goals didn’t fit inside any of the existing systems, so I decided to build my own. At the end of 2022, I printed V1 of the Quantified Happiness Planner and began tracking across all aspects of my life.
In 2023 I tracked my first full year. For the first time, I could see patterns instead of guessing. I could make small weekly adjustments instead of big emotional resets. My productivity improved, but more importantly, my alignment did too.
I started sharing my weekly scores on Instagram. People asked what I was using. Then they asked how they could use it too.
At the end of 2024, I was reminded that I, and only I, am responsible for creating my version of success. I decided more people deserved access to this system. So I took a risk.
I hired a great dev team and spent 2025 building Quantified Happiness into something others could use intuitively and customize to make their own. In August of 2025, the Quantified Happiness app went live on the App Store.
In 2026, supercharged by AI, we’ve rebuilt QH from the ground up into something I’m proud to put into the hands of others.
Most importantly: Quantified Happiness has become more than an app and planner along the way. It’s a community.
Built by a small, passionate team who think life is better when you live it on purpose. We believe really special things will be built from relationships that are founded on the common bond of QH.
Wherever you’re headed, we’re honored to be part of your journey. Because when you grow, so does the world around you.
Welcome to Quantified Happiness.
Now go design the life you’re meant to live.
