Our Daughter-Dad Creative Project
Half Life Crisis began in 2020 as a collaboration when my daughter, Sammy, discovered a passion for abstract painting and black & white photography. The project quickly became our shared artistic vehicle — a way to capture the fleeting moments of life through art and literature.
The name "Half Life Crisis" is not a "midlife crisis." It is our artistic realization that life moves so fast we risk forgetting to live. This project remains our time capsule.
What started as Sammy's art portfolio evolved into a home for our collective intellectual and creative work, including my articles and books. We continue this work because we love it, and we are grateful you stopped by to discover it.
Our Commitment to Focus and Passion
Half Life Crisis remains our dedicated daughter-dad project, regardless of how far its reach extends. We created this space to serve as a high-quality, private platform solely for Sammy's artistic expression and for my strategic articles and books. We do this work not because we have to, but simply because we love to create it.
As our books and articles gained attention, our focus tightened. We realized that to maintain the integrity and high standards of our content — and to preserve the spirit of the project — we had to dedicate our time exclusively to our own creation. We prioritize quality over broad expansion.
We dedicate our time and love to this unique creative venture. Thank you for visiting and supporting the HLC team, and we hope you return often to see what new art and ideas tumble into our time capsule.
This is how Half Life Crisis™ evolved!
Our Personal Story: Why Half Life Crisis?
The idea for Half Life Crisis came from a simple epiphany in 2011: life moves so quickly that we risk forgetting to live. In 2020, I finally launched this project as a dedicated space to share (and occasionally rant about) the life lessons and strategic insights gained while navigating modern adulthood.
This project is a shared venture with my family, especially my daughter Sammy, who provides the creative inspiration. We are grateful for your visit and hope you enjoy exploring our time capsule.

Marcelo BeeZee
A 40-something year old Ecuadorian-American and Retired US Navy Veteran, I am a husband, father, and a dedicated multimedia artist. My life experiences from traveling the world and years of service inform my work. I operate as the primary writer and strategist for HLC, driven by a deep commitment to independent thought and analysis. My work is defined by the INFJ personality type, focusing on exuberant detail and contextual clarity in my articles.
Sammy
Sammy is the inspiration and lead visual artist behind the Half Life Crisis portfolio. Since 2019, she has passionately focused on two distinct mediums: abstract painting and classic black-and-white photography. Her role is central to the project’s mission as its Creative Director, ensuring all visual content reflects the high standard of the HLC brand. She views the project as a time capsule for her creative expression and artistic growth.
BeeZee's Mistress
Alicia is the project's technical anchor and a key contributor to its strategic background. As a Retired US Navy Chief and high-ranking civilian officer, her expertise provides essential technical and regulatory guidance. She is the driving support for HLC, ensuring integrity and providing critical insights. She maintains a dedicated space to offer essential guidelines for US Navy Veterans navigating complex processes.
"Fluffy"
Aki is the most important member of the HLC team, serving as the Chief Morale Officer and emotional support for the entire family.
