FUEL THE FIRE FROM WITHIN
WHO’S THIS FOR?
I work with people who want a better life and are willing to work to earn it. That’s not most people. Good thing you think you're not most people.
Do you:
Feel like you're wasting potential and can’t keep ignoring it?
Know there’s more to life than what you’ve been tolerating?
Want to live with purpose, but your ego keeps hijacking the wheel?
Are sick of being reactive, distracted, or emotionally weak?
If you’re finally ready to shut your ego up and build a life worth respecting, start here.
WHAT THIS IS (AND ISN’T)
Therapy looks backward.
Coaches cheer forward.
Consultants sell systems to improve efficiency.
Self-help lets you drift and fail at your pace.
Advising is pragmatic guidance and hardcore accountability.
I guide you to the win; nothing more, nothing less. You won’t need me long, and you probably won’t like me while I’m there. That’s good.
I'll hand you a mirror to confront the truth, a method to rebuild, and a mission to lock onto. You’ll be challenged, called out, and shown a path straighter and sharper than the one you’ve been drifting down. This isn’t coaching, counseling, and it sure as hell isn't some motivational high. It’s grounded work, Stoic, and forged in lived experience. Mine and others' story proves it works; but your results depend entirely on whether you’re ready to get honest and go all in with serious effort.
HOW?
At its core, this is radical self-audit. It's brutal honesty on paper with nowhere to hide. It's a level of accountability to be the person you know you're capable of being on a level you've never experienced.
You’ll plan. You’ll act. You’ll fail. You'll face a consequence. You’ll reflect. You'll reorganize. Then you'll act again with genuine purpose.
When you don’t, I won’t be nice. I won’t tell you it’s okay that your integrity sucks. I’ll expect honest answers to hard questions until you understand what doing it the right way feels like.
The Free Program for Men Who Know They Need to Change, But Don’t Know Where to Start
You don’t need me. You need discipline, honesty, and a reason to stop lying to yourself. But if you can’t summon willpower on your own, don’t waste money on coaching programs you’ll quit by Thursday. That’s why I offer a free, open meeting so men can listen, learn, and start doing the real work without paying a dime.
This isn’t motivation. It’s an education in Stoicism, journaling, ego control, and emotional mastery. You’ll hear hard truths, learn practical tools, and maybe, for the first time, feel called to take your life seriously.

WHY ME?
If you're stuck, I’ve been there. I grew up in filth and chaos, then kept the cycle going by becoming the source of it. I lied, blamed, hurt people, and justified all of it with a smile and conviction, thinking I was a good guy. I was very wrong and nearly paid the ultimate price...more than once.
Then I got yet another chance at life and finally saw what was truly behind it all: ego.
So, I rebuilt myself from the ground up adhering to Stoic virtue, journaling, and brutal self-honesty. You can read the full story in Ruthless. Today, I’ve got a family built on faith, driven by virtue, while raising our child to lead as a humble servant. I have dedicated my life to help people, especially men, trying to break cycles caused by trauma and ego. Using methods stolen from the Stoics and stress-tested by me for over a decade, my professional efforts are now dedicated to helping others become the best kind of partners, parents, leaders, and humans the world is starving for.

The Cost of Trauma
The Fight for Redemption
I didn’t survive trauma, I became it.
A childhood of chaos didn’t just leave scars; it rewired me. Warped my choices. Poisoned my relationships. Turned me into a liar, a manipulator, a wrecking ball to everything good in my life. I didn’t just char bridges, I torched whole cities. And for decades, I didn’t care one bit.
Until the moment came when I had to fight for my life.
This isn’t a feel-good redemption story. This is the tell-all, soul-baring tale of the true cost of self-destruction, lies, betrayals, and an ultimate reckoning. It’s about breaking cycles that are meant to destroy lives, about dissecting perceptions to find authentic motivation.
No one is too far gone. No past is too broken. But change is war. And if you want it, you better be ready to bleed for it, literally at times.

For years, I lived a lie; many, in fact. I wore masks, played roles, and told myself stories that kept me comfortable but trapped. I wasn’t just deceiving others; I was at war with myself.
The Honesty Experiment isn’t a self-help trend; it’s a reckoning. A dismantling of the illusions that keep you stuck. It’s about confronting your darkest truths and rewriting the narrative that’s been controlling you. This journal isn’t here to make you feel good, it’s here to make you face yourself.
Because real change isn’t found in easy answers or affirmations. It’s found in the raw, unfiltered pages where you finally stop lying to yourself.
The question isn’t can you change? It’s will you be honest enough to?
