Travel & the outdoors
More than a hobby, it's how I've built my life. Having lived across the US and Europe, travel is how I learn, reset, and find what's next.
Currently Paris→Amsterdam next
Hi, I'm Sprigley. I work, build, move, learn, and try to leave the world a better place than I found it ❤️
I work hard, build things on the side, and love to travel and explore this beautiful planet we call home. I'm a father, a reader, and someone who's genuinely happier with a bad map and a long afternoon than a perfect plan. This is where I put the things that don't belong anywhere else — the places, the people, the projects, and the questions I haven't answered yet.
Paris, 2026
"Not all those who wander are lost." - J.R.R. Tolkien
I'm based in Paris for now, headed to Amsterdam next. A good day for me starts with a long walk and ends with people I love around a table. I'm the person who'll always pick the slow route home.
What drives me is curiosity and the people I get to share it with. I'm a consultant because I like solving real problems for real people — and that same instinct shows up in everything else I do: the side projects, the trips, the way I explore and learn.
I have strong opinions about beverages, a soft spot for old bars and restaurants, and an understanding that the more I learn the more I realize how little I know.
The Chronology
Places I've called home
I've never been good at staying put. Here's every place I've lived — plus the long list I've passed through along the way.

La Jolla · California, USA
Early yearsThe Pacific start of it all — salt air, surfboards, and long bike rides home.
San Francisco · California, USA
—Where the work got serious and the fog taught me patience.

—Mountains out every window — a chapter of long winters and longer trails.
Castle Rock · Colorado, USA
—Thin air, big skies, and the first time I lived deliberately slow.
Atlanta · Georgia, USA
—Family time and humidity and learning to slow down a sentence.
Fort Lauderdale · Florida, USA
—Saltwater again. Boat wakes, palm shadows, easy mornings.
El Carpio · Córdoba, Spain
—A whitewashed pueblo outside Córdoba that reshaped my idea of community.
Lyon · France
—Two rivers, three meals a day, and a different idea of work.
Toulon · France
—The specific light off the Mediterranean and a slower clock.
Paris · France
Currently hereEndless walks through the 11th. Currently writing this from a café.
Puerto Vallarta · Jalisco, Mexico
—Pacific sunsets, Spanish on every corner, and the slow rhythm of the malecón.

What I'm into
Four things that take up most of my attention.
Family & community
What actually grounds me is simpler than any of this: the people who've stayed. Through the hard parts, the good ones, and the long uncertain stretch in between. I wouldn't be here without them.
Ideas & learning
What I'm reading, what I'm watching, the stranger on a train who taught me something last Tuesday. I collect ideas, stories, knowledge, and experiences the way other people collect things — obsessively and with no real plan.
Building & tinkering
The maker side of me. Small experiments, side projects, things I build just to see if I can — and what I learn along the way.
Building
The Honest Help product family.
A growing family of apps under the Honest Help umbrella — each one built to solve a real problem for real people.
Honest Client Onboarding
Lets coaches, consultants, and service providers easily onboard new clients by collecting detailed information about their company, brand, and products. It creates a single source of truth for uploading to Amazon, Shopify, and other platforms — including client-uploaded images and videos.
Honest Lesson Plans
Came together as a request from a wellness coach and a French teacher in San Diego who wanted to take their lesson plans and turn them into something beautiful in an easy and scalable way.
Honest TikTok Ads
Build a creative brief about your company and products, then actively crawl for the most viral and trending videos and creators on TikTok. It analyzes their videos for hooks, content, and style to identify what made them go viral, then generates scripts that incorporate your branding and products using those best practices.
Honest Influencers
A custom platform modifiable for any brand that wants to run a top-level influencer management program. Includes a complete creative brief, SOP, and backend CRM. Get a custom influencer dashboard up and running within 14 days.
Honest Treehouse
An online platform that lets family members — like a dad and daughter — stay connected across any distance. Play games, co-write books, and create drawings together in real time, all while on a live video call. A virtual treehouse for the people you love most.
Honest Cohabs
An alumni network for people who have lived in COHABS houses. A dude named Sprigley moved from California to Paris not knowing anyone, and found community at COHABS. Alumni scatter across continents fast — this network keeps it going so that when one of us lands in Lisbon, Berlin, NYC, or anywhere else, an old (or new) housemate is one message away.
I've been around the block a few times.
Brand side. Agency side. Founder side. Over a billion dollars in revenue managed and more pivots than I'd care to count. Everything I've done across two decades has been pointing at the same thing: Honest Help. That's not just a philosophy — it's the name on the door.
