my early school years saw tragic deaths

While growing up, I watched fifteen friends pass from car crashes, cancer, suicide, freak accidents, murder, and addiction. In high school, a shocking number of deaths happened, and this continued into my college years. Although I was deeply affected, I was always the one who could remain calm to comfort people in the most painful moments.

I started a new hobby performing with fire.

Sports remained a massive part of my life. But after boxing in college, I was looking for a unique thrill. After watching the manipulation of fire at Burning Man countless times, I wondered if I could enjoy this wild art form. I began performing with flames professionally – practicing it for years. To this day, I still dance with my fire tools as it is a powerful resiliency practice.

My startup tanks. My business partner runs off with my girlfriend, I claim bankruptcy, and I end up in jail

After my brother passed, I flew home to take care of my family and his service. I did what “warriors” do. I cut off my feelings and continued building my startup. But just as the business consistently hit 6-figure months, the economy crashed. Soon after, I came home to find that my business partner and girlfriend had fled with the company’s remains. I went out with friends to get my mind off of things and landed in jail. Sitting in that cold jail cell, I realized I chose my failing business over my brother. 

I performed at Burning Man for years, then I felt drawn to dedicate something to my brother.

My research helped heal me and create Emotional Resilience Training.

Entered a 5-month cleanse to quit porn and heal my inner feminine.

Now I stand at my highest peak…

• I am in the best shape of my life, and I entered my first bodybuilding competition recently where I won three medals. 

• All of my businesses combined are up 500% over the last two years.

• I lead and participate in multiple communities of men I consider my best friends, allies, and brothers. 

• High-octane & professional organizations, like YPO, Navy Seals & Origami Owls, consistently hire me to train their teams.

• My relationships are healthier than ever—including with my friends, team members, business partners, parents, and life. 

• I am deeply committed to my spiritual and devotional practices while experiencing my most profound connection to God and Source.

• I have reduced my 1:1 coaching from seeing many clients to only a few at once. Now I earn more generously while providing more value to those few.

With complete honesty, I can say I am living the work I teach. The results in my life are proof that my toolsets, frameworks, and lifestyle are sustainable.
