Where This Comes From

I spent 14 years commercial fishing in Alaska. That work taught me something essential: under extreme pressure, your nervous system either works for you or against you. There's no middle ground when your boat is swamped in rough seas and the engine room is taking on water.

You learn fast that steadiness isn't about having it all together. It's about staying present, aware, and grounded when everything's falling apart.

Before that, I experienced a childhood riddled with trauma, abuse, and the need to survive an environment that failed to meet my basic needs as a human. I developed survival strategies and defense mechanism that took decades to unwind.

Now, I'm father to an amazing toddler son with sensory processing challenges. Husband to a brilliant woman in a PhD program in visionary practice and regenerative leadership. I live with ADHD and ankylosing spondylitis, whose blinding pain threatens to fuse my spine and decimate my mobility. I run two businesses - one as a woodworker, the other as a transformational men’s coach.

So when I talk about accessing what doesn't change under pressure, I'm not speaking from theory;
I'm speaking from trying to stay present, open, aware, and in relationship to all of these things every day.

The Work

I'm certified in psilocybin facilitation, trained in trauma-attuned touch, somatic awareness and group process work.

My work is influenced by training in Hakomi, the Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM), and the philosophy of Internal Family Systems (IFS).

I've guided over one hundred men through transformative, immersive experiences, both in 1:1 and group retreat containers.

But the credential that matters most is this: I know what it's like to be maxed out and still need to show up. To feel my nervous system hijacked by reactivity and have to find my way back to steady ground.
To lead when you don't feel like a leader.

The men I work with aren't broken. They're capable, committed, and navigating complexity that would flatten most people. They're just tired of being jerked around by their own nervous systems.

I help them access the part within themselves that doesn't change - the steady center that remains present regardless of external circumstances. Not through concepts or strategies, but through embodied practice and relational work.

The men I work with say this work feels like something between coaching and therapy, between guidance and mentorship. There’s nothing off-limits, no part of you that’s unwelcome.

What I Actually Do

I sit with men in the intensity of their lives and help them transmute their un-useful patterns and beliefs so thy can flourish.

I guide men through 1:1 transformational containers - weekly sessions of deep work. Somatic process, relational practice, integration of what's actually happening in your life. Some include medicine work.

I offer a signature workshop called "Accessing What Doesn't Change" - 90 minutes of somatic training that teaches nervous system mastery in real time. I bring this to organizations, leadership teams, and men's groups.

I offer one-time sessions for men exploring whether this work is right for them, or who need support navigating specific transitions.

Why I Do This

Because I've seen what happens when you learn to access steadiness under pressure. When you stop reacting at your kids and actually connect with them. When you lead your team from clarity instead of fear. When you show up for your partners without shutting down or exploding.

You become the man you know you’re capable of being - not through positive thinking or willpower, but through building actual capacity and spaciousness in your nervous system.

I once thought I'd never become a father because I was terrified of passing on my patterns. Through years of dedicated work, I broke those cycles. Now I guide other men to build capacity for what's present and ahead, not just rehash what's behind.

The challenges you face aren’t going away. The uncertainty isn't going away. But you can develop the capacity to meet it from steadiness instead of reactivity.

That's what doesn't change.
