I grew up in a small mountain town in Oregon, living immersed in nature. This played a big role in shaping my life and passion for movement and the outdoors. From playing in the creek to playing team sports, cliff jumping, snowboarding, and kayaking, I was able to pursue a wide range of activities in the water and on land.

I started spending time in Hawai’i after graduating high school, and my love for snowboarding quickly translated into a passion for surfing. I bounced back and forth between the beaches of Oahu and the mountains in Oregon, surfing, snowboarding, kayaking, and rock climbing. Between the ocean, mountains, and river activities, I found myself facing frequent setbacks related to injuries. These challenges are what shaped the trajectory of my holistic approach to health because when more traditional methods of treatment failed me, I decided to take my health into my own hands.

I first trained as a sports massage therapist, focusing on neuromuscular therapy. The more I worked with the body, the more I dove deeper into why we experience pain, injury, and limited performance. This led me to seek out the most comprehensive, holistic, and integrative education system out there - The CHEK Institute. 

My latest passion in the realm of truth-seeking is that of thriving in partnership. Looking back on my life, I can see how much my injuries impacted my sense of self, my confidence, and my ability to take responsibility and grow as an individual and with a significant other. Exploring the self-limiting beliefs, misperceptions, and wounds I historically had ample excuses for are now met by a desire to pull on every thread until the knot of every last fear is completely unraveled.

With the right tools and a massive shift in awareness, I’ve come to see the container of my romantic partnership as the greatest mirror for my own growth and our mutual healing. Where conflicts used to initiate blame and frustration in my life, I now understand them as portals for self-reflection and expansion.

Today, my partner and I live in Byron Bay, Australia. I’ve taken my holistic approach to confronting inner narratives and repatterning both the body and mind into a practice where I mentor other men online.

I share my ongoing journey with the aim of igniting your own exploration and connection with yourself and the world around you.
