Our Story

Axe and Raven

How RavenAxe Came to Be

RavenAxe was created in 2025, but its roots began in 2024 — with two people who had both survived things that left scars.

When I met Raven, we were both coming out of devastating chapters. We didn't meet chasing a fantasy. We met as two people who understood trauma, survival, and the exhaustion that comes from carrying too much for too long.

I fell in love with her immediately — her smile, her strength, her honesty. What started as friendship became long conversations about our pasts, our healing, and the futures we hoped to build. Neither of us realized then that those futures were actually ours together.

We were married on January 27, 2025.

The Raven Who Gave Me Back My Axe

After we moved to Phoenix, Raven saw something in me that I had buried.

In a past relationship, I had given up riding — not because I wanted to, but because I believed sacrifice was the price of love. Raven understood something I didn't: riding wasn't a hobby for me. It was part of who I was.

She encouraged me to ride again.

She bought me a new Harley.

And with that, Axe came back to life.

But I wasn't healed.

I carried unresolved trauma, anger, and trust issues from my past, and instead of facing them fully, I let them bleed into my marriage. I didn't protect Raven from my damage. I made her carry it.

One night, drunk and out of control, I punched holes in the walls and screamed at the woman who loved me. She did what was right. She called the police.

I went to jail.

We separated.

That moment is not softened here.

It is owned.

Silence, Sobriety, and Accountability

For months afterward, I've lived alone — sober, in counseling, on medication, stripped of distractions. No MC life. No social circle. Just work and silence.

I've tried to rebuild my marriage and failed more times than I've succeeded.

Raven, meanwhile, did what she has always done — she turned pain into purpose. She started a nonprofit focused on helping survivors of domestic abuse. I built two applications and her website to support that work — not as leverage, not as penance, but because her mission mattered.

This platform was not built to repair my marriage through performance.

It was built as part of becoming someone worthy of repair at all.

Why RavenAxe Was Built

One conversation with a brother from the motorcycle world changed everything.

We talked about how modern social platforms don't serve riders — how they amplify noise, ego, and division, while ignoring the people sitting quietly in silence. Riders with and without clubs. Without families. Without somewhere to belong.

I realized I was one of them.

So I decided to build what I needed — and what others needed too.

A place for riders who don't fit algorithms.

A place for people who aren't loud but still matter.

A place where brotherhoods could coexist with meaning and purpose

A place built around connection, respect, and accountability.

I designed it around the one thing that had always supported my return to riding:

Raven.

The Name, the Logo, the Meaning

This platform is called RavenAxe because Raven comes first.

Even in separation, she remains the standard I hold myself to. She continues to push me toward restraint over reaction, integrity over ego, and accountability over excuses.

The logo — the raven holding the axe — represents exactly that.

The axe is power, force, and action.

The raven is wisdom, restraint, and truth.

The raven does not swing the axe.

She steadies it.

That is how Raven supported me — not by controlling me, not by silencing me, but by grounding me. The logo exists as a permanent reminder that strength without wisdom destroys what it claims to protect.

Why 2025 Matters

RavenAxe was established in 2025 because that was the year Raven and Axe became one.

January 27, 2025, is not a brand milestone.

It is our wedding day.

That date represents love, commitment, and the belief that two people could build something meaningful together. The name RavenAxe comes from that union — not from a product launch, not from a business decision, but from a marriage.

The actual work on RavenAxe didn't begin until January 10, 2026.

From that day forward, I worked eighteen-hour days — ten hours at my full-time job, then another eight to ten every night — for fourteen straight days. Not for recognition. Not for momentum.

I did it to make damn sure RavenAxe would be ready to launch on our anniversary.

Not as a grand gesture.

Not as a fix.

But as an act of honor.

Because even though I have damaged our marriage, I refuse to stop honoring it.

What RavenAxe Is — And Is Not

RavenAxe is not built for clout, algorithms, or attention.

It is a platform for riders and communities who value:

Respect over noise

Brotherhood over performance

Accountability over ego

Connection over spectacle

It exists so no rider has to sit alone in silence the way I do now.

The Dedication

RavenAxe is dedicated to Raven.

It is dedicated to the lessons she taught me — and continues to teach me every day. That real love is not about yourself.

It is about showing up with humility, accountability, and patience, and doing the work required to be worthy of the love you hope to rebuild — without demanding an outcome, and without abandoning the effort.

This platform is not a replacement for what was lost.

It is an honoring of what was learned.

Built in silence.

Forged for riders.

Dedicated to Raven.
