In a single day, we undertook a grueling four-mile hike that condensed two days' worth of intensive work into one. We hiked, lunged, and laughed together, embracing the unity of effort and spirit. This video captures the essence of our shared experience—the challenges faced, the bonds formed, and the growth achieved.
I am grateful for participants Edgar, Deb, Natalie, and Heiner for their inspiring dedication. Special thanks to my wife, Donna, for her unwavering support. Appreciation to Dub for capturing these moments on video, and to his wife, Miranda, for her support during the hike. Thanks to Omorpho for providing the vests that enhanced our training; you can find more information through the link in my bio.
The next retreat approaches. If you're ready to challenge yourself and grow within a supportive community, sign up now. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.

23to addiction, shame, and losing everything?
And then—somehow—build it all back?
A lot of you know me. But not many know this part.
This piece is more than a story.
It’s a blueprint. A battle-tested manual for anyone who’s ever stood in the dark, praying for a way out.
I’ve lived it.
And through grace, discipline, and unflinching honesty—I made it through.
If you're struggling, if you've ever felt your life slipping away, read this. I wrote it for you.
It took me months to write. But it took me years to survive.
Let this be the hand that reaches for you when you feel like falling.

23Eight years ago, I was in the throes of addiction, seeking a path to freedom. Today, I am grateful to share a journey of transformation and community. Our recent retreat at Ambiente challenged us physically, mentally, and emotionally, pushing us beyond our perceived limits.
