My Journey: From Survival to Significance

I was born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, where poverty, addiction, and violence shaped daily life. At 22, homeless and battling addiction, I made the decision to reclaim my life, entering treatment and committing to personal growth. That choice sparked a 28-year journey of sobriety, leadership, and service, transforming struggle into a mission to help other men rise into their true potential.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe every man has untapped power within him, buried under fear, distractions, and doubt. My mission is to help you reclaim that power and transform your life from the inside out.

Through a holistic approach, I address your mind, body, and spirit, helping you build mental toughness, aligned habits, and a clear sense of purpose. My coaching style is direct yet compassionate, challenging you to rise while providing accountability and support.

Together, we will:
✅ Clarify your purpose
✅ Build resilience
✅ Develop habits aligned with your mission
✅ Forge a life of integrity, courage, and significance

“All that you have inside of you – is all you need.”

The CLIPS Leadership System is the framework I use to help men master their potential and purpose:

• Courage & Resilience – Run toward fear and grow through challenges.

• Leadership & Service – Lead by example and lift others up.

• Integrity & Stewardship – Stand on your word and live with honesty.

• Purpose & Calling – Know who you are and why you are here.
