TAKE ACTION

Step One (FREE)

Small steps for big changes. We plan for everything in life that could happen; parties, graduations, education, work, housing, purchases, moving, relationships, etc…and we rarely plan for things that will happen like a crisis…but now your whole life is about to get way better. Take Step One and then prepare yourself to Get Awesome and Stay Awesome with Step Two.

Take The Step | Part One

Step Two ($197)

Before you are here be sure you went through Step One.


A self-paced, personal workshop created by a veteran for veterans who want to truly live by making the most of their life, get ahead of any future life-struggles, and for those veterans struggling right now...this is the light to get out of that dark place.

Take The Step | Part Two

TEACHING SERVICE MEMBERS AND VETERANS HOW TO GET AWESOME...

Some scars can't be seen...


If you’re a military veteran whose seen a thing or two & have the scars to prove it… Keep Reading



This is where you keep reading...Lion

If your life after the military is already awesome and you just want to make it better but you're not sure where to start or challenged with a busy schedule and a full life...


Or if you still have the heart of a Lion but you're tired...


and you see a struggle coming, or you're already neck deep in one but you're not ready to quit just yet even though you think you're starting to run out of options when it comes to lightening the load in your pack...


Then you've come to the right spot and I’m your huckleberry. 


Ruck with me a while, warrior…take charge and pilot your own journey instead of being a passenger on someone else’s...


Instead of focusing on your faults and all the things you think you can’t do…join me on this journey, and I’ll guide you on a quest to champion the tools your maker gave you after he forged them in the fires of life.  


Let’s swap those rocks in your ruck with a few gold nuggets, apply some small course corrections, and change your path to a better destination with a fuller, richer life...


So you can be the Lion you are meant to be…

    Why this path is better than the the one you are on...

    Chances are if you're a veteran struggling with life right now...you're also probably missing your military tribe and the camaraderie and trust you built with your brothers and sisters in arms...and if you're being honest with yourself...you're probably too proud to ask for help, and that's why I built this system.


    Only you can reconnect to your tribe, but I can help you connect to yourself....


    to become a Lion amongst

     Lions... all striving to be the best version of themselves.

    We plan for everything in life that could happen… for parties and gatherings, education, employment, where to live, buying cars, moving, relationships, weddings, to have children or not…


    but we never plan for a struggle…the one thing 100% guaranteed to happen in life, but why not?


    Why not why not plan to pursue the greater pleasures life has to offer? 


    Why not be prepared to respond to unplanned struggle?


    Why not avoid the pain of a struggle that could lead to a perceived unmanageable crisis where we can?

    As a combat veteran & aviator, I’m sharing some lessons I’ve learned during the last 26 years in the U.S. military.


      I’ve experienced a lot of challenges & adversity but I’m better for having experienced it all; tons of major victories and  challenging struggles to include achieving impossible goals and coping with death of friends, family, and even a child.


    Like many, I’ve experienced the fog of war and lost brothers and sisters in arms to both combat AND suicide…however, I have also been blessed enough to help save some from death and help some to save themselves.  


    The friends lost to suicide is the one pill that’s been the hardest to swallow as someone who’s sole purpose in life has been to find and rescue the lost, and to save the wounded…10 friends lost since 2014 alone…but through this program, countless others have saved themselves while achieving heights they never thought were attainable.


    Due to some personal experiences that rattled my foundations, I have spent these past years thinking about how to help those in their darkest times, realizing that in those moments, 22 push-ups is great awareness, but it doesn’t help that one person in their darkest time.  


    The trick is to have a proactive approach to living your best life, while preparing for when (not IF) crisis comes for you...


    I found the way, I built it for you...


    and now I'm here to share it with you...
