Guiding strong men through deep change - toward a life that finally feels like their own
My Path Forward

Guide. Witness. Wayfinder.
I’ve spent nearly twenty years navigating the emotional complexity of a multigenerational family business... balancing loyalty and duty with the dissonance of being consistently undermined, sidelined, or misled by those closest to me. It’s been a long walk between holding up the structure and holding onto myself. And while I stayed in it for love and legacy, the real work was learning how not to abandon my truth and myself in the name of belonging
​
My body has also been a battlefield and a teacher. Years of recurring physical pain demanded I slow down, listen deeply, and rebuild my relationship with discipline, wellness, and trust. Pain, I’ve come to believe, is not punishment... it’s sacred redirection. A loud and holy signal that something must change
​
I spent years over-functioning in a marriage that slowly unraveled my sense of self. Like so many men, I didn’t see it until I was in too deep. I tried to fix everything but myself. I gave too much, lost too much, and nearly disappeared inside the process. And yet, that challenge became one of the greatest initiations of my life. It stripped away my illusions and called me back into alignment... not just with who I am, but who I’m here to be. Difficult in the moment. Worth everything on the other side
​
These chapters didn’t destroy me. They forged me. And I am grateful for them
​
This isn’t theory. It’s lived transformation. Now, I walk with men who are ready to return to themselves... not with bravado, but with courage. If you’re standing at your own Threshold, I’ll meet you there. And together, we’ll find your way forward
