FOUNDER & FREEDOM COACH

AFTER STRUGGLING TO BE FREE FROM THE CRAVING TO PORNOGRAPHY AND MASTURBATION AND DIRECTING MUCH OF MY PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL ENERGY TOWARD THAT AIM I FINALLY FOUND AN INTEGRATED APPROACH THAT HAS BROUGHT ME LASTING FREEDOM THAT PREVIOUSLY I HAD NEVER THOUGHT POSSIBLE.

MY EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND IS IN NEUROSCIENCE AND PSYCHOLOGICAL STUDIES.

AFTER WORKING IN CAMPUS MINISTRY, WALKING CLOSELY WITH HUNDREDS OF YOUNG MEN, MY PROFESSIONAL PATH LED ME TO TAKE OVER AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF A FAST GROWING MARRIAGE AND FAMILY MINISTRY, JUST AS MY OWN EXTENDED FAMILY WAS CRUMBLING AROUND ME.

ENGAGED IN THIS MISSION, I WAS FACED AGAIN AND AGAIN WITH THE ROLE SEXUAL ISSUES HAVE IN PRESENTING OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION TO YOUNG FAMILIES. OUT OF THESE OPPORTUNITIES CAME THE TESTIMONIES OF INCREDIBLE RENEWAL AND OTHERS, SADLY, STORIES OF GREAT HARDSHIP AND BROKEN RELATIONSHIP. MANY OF THESE STORIES BEGAN AND ENDED WITH PORN.

AS I WITNESSED IN MY OWN LIFE THIS PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION, GOING FROM A 2-3 WEEK RITUALIZED PORN USER, TO COMPLETE FREEDOM, NOT SIMPLY SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT, OF CRAVING IN MY LIFE - I BECAME HOOKED - HOOKED ON BRINGING THIS SAME FREEDOM TO OTHER MEN.

I FOUNDED THE FREEDOM GROUP TO BE A PLACE OF TRANSFORMATION WITH A GUARANTEE OF FREEDOM, IN AN ACCESSIBLE FORMAT AND IN A HOLISTIC APPROACH TAKING THE INTERSECTION OF FAITH, NEUROSCIENCE AND PSYCHOLOGY IN ALL THEY HAVE TO OFFER AND LEVERAGING IT TO HELP MEN COMPLETELY ELIMINATE CRAVING FROM THEIR LIVES.

CO-OWNER & FREEDOM COACH

FROM A YOUNG AGE, I KNEW I WAS SPIRITUALLY AND EMOTIONALLY SENSITIVE. IN SHORT, I FELT A LOT.

I’M GRATEFUL FOR MY FAMILY, THOUGH WE HAD BAGGAGE. MY DAD, DESPITE HIS ROUGH PAST, RAISED FIVE KIDS WELL.

I PLAYED THE ROLE OF “GLUE” IN MY FAMILY, FEELING EVERYONE’S EMOTIONS AND KEEPING US TOGETHER.

RAISED IN THE CHURCH, I KNEW RIGHT FROM WRONG BUT BROKE UNDER THE PRESSURE.

MY NUMBING AGENTS WERE PORN, ALCOHOL, AND POT.

I LEARNED TO HIDE, ISOLATE, AND LET FEAR CONTROL ME UNTIL I HIT ROCK BOTTOM IN 2009. I SURRENDERED AND BEGAN A JOURNEY OF RESTORATION.

SINCE GRADUATING COLLEGE IN 2010, I’VE SERVED FULL-TIME IN MINISTRY, DEDICATING MY ENERGIES TO WORKING WITH YOUNG MEN WHO LEAD LIVES OF QUIET DESPERATION, FLOATING THROUGH LIFE, ABDICATING RESPONSIBILITY, AND ADDICTED TO VARIOUS THINGS. MY MISSION IS TO HELP AS MANY MEN AS POSSIBLE DISCOVER WHO THEY ARE AND EMBRACE THEIR KINGDOM.

I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT INTEGRATING THE WHOLE PERSON: BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT. WITH MY BACKGROUND IN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY, I AM ON A MISSION TO WAKE MEN UP TO THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR BODY IN THE PROCESS OF FREEDOM AND INTEGRATION.

I LIVE IN KANSAS CITY WITH MY LOVELY BRIDE, THERESA, TWO LITTLE GIRLS, PERPETUA AND JUDITH, AND THIS PAST NOVEMBER, WE HAD OUR FIRST BOY, PAX.

I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU.
