As a young man, I looked everywhere for examples of true masculinity; the kind of masculinity that is strong and gentle, defiant and devout, wildly adventurous and lightheartedly curious.
Not only was there no acceptable place in our culture for me to embody all of the seemingly contradictory sides of my character, but there were also no conversations being led by men in the trenches, whose lives actually reflected their assertions of manhood. Today, the conversations about masculinity and its role in our society are either grossly misrepresented or entirely unheard.
On this site, I explore what it means to be physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and socially strong as a Man in today’s age. I share the lessons, stories, and training from my day-to-day life and how I choose to “show up” as a Husband, Father, Entrepreneur, Coach, and Athlete. I share the triumphs, tribulations that have led to the discovery of my own, unique purpose and identity so that you can have the freedom to discover and develop your own.
I invite you into the Ether — the space between — to have these dangerous and authentically unpolished conversations where others have remained silent. Join me around the campfire to (re)Claim Masculinity, (re)Define Strength, and (re)Surrect the Renegade in the hearts of today’s men.
My hope is that, by creating this space, we can raise up a generation of Real Men who boldly and unapologetically pursue excellence in being Men, for Masculinity to return to a state of being rather than a performance of ego, and in doing so, for us as Men to become a place of safety, strength, and rest in our families, communities, and our own lives.
