I was miserably depressed for over 15 years stuck in porn addiction. I was desperate and willing to do anything I knew to get free, yet didn’t find either tools , or any person that could help me in the church circles I grew up in. I had some extremely limiting beliefs from the deceptively subtle yet severely narcissistic family I grew up in. As an adult I slowly found practical tools and major life ecology changes that actually made a difference. It wasn’t an instant fix, and it still took a whole lot of work, but I finally got myself free.

Throughout 5 years of missions with YWAM I realized I had a natural ability and gifting to help counsel, mentor, and coach people. I then did an intensive school with YWAM called Foundations in Counseling Ministry. Some years later, when  trying to figure out how to thrive as an excellent husband, father, and family, as well as do something with my life that is Kingdom, rather than a seemingly eternally pointless 9-5 (or 5-5 for that matter,) I  did the Coach Launch course with Alive & Free Life Consulting. This was, and still is, a major healing decision to commit to learning how to make my own business, since I came from a strong background of fear of finances, apathy, powerlessness, and no healthy masculine initiative.

My wife and I intentionally choose to live a grounded, natural, and wholistic lifestyle in the Pacific. It truly is a part of our spirituality. I am 31 years old, (at this writing.) I believe that having good food, plenty of sun, and being a present and emotionally grounded parent have arguably equal value with typical Biblical spiritual disciplines. I deeply enjoy being outside, cherish my lovely wife, and delight in my adorable daughter. I enjoy cooking excellent food, harvesting from the land, and deep conversation.

Current areas I am working on are areas of ownership, taking initiative, etc.

I have thoroughly considered and experienced extremes within the Christian faith and carefully hold parts from most of them. I am especially drawn to the things of Holy Spirit and the ancient Jewish culture and history from which modern Christianity originates yet does not rest on anymore. I consider myself to be a follower of Jesus’ teachings rather than a Christian, (Jesus never called himself a Christian.) because that’s what I think Jesus likely originally wanted, and largely because I don’t align with the reputation Christianity has within secular culture.
