As a former Detective of the New Orleans S.W.A.T. team, he faced a series of life-altering tragedies that brought him down a path of severe depression, weight gain and self-destruction that led to him walking away from his job in the prime of his career and ultimately calling off a wedding. What followed was a wild 5 year journey of healing, growth and development as he systematically transformed every single area of his life only to find something he didn't know was missing the entire time, God.
Dylan's vast experience as a New Orleans Police Officer paired with 6 years of coaching 500+ clients offers him a unique perspective and coaching style that empowers men to facilitate the change they desire in their health, wealth, fitness and relationships. He takes a highly customized and dynamic approach to processing trauma, improving health, developing relationship skills and manually rewiring the way you think and operate at a man.
