During my time as a machine gunner in the Marine Corps, I hated my life, was stressed out, and had trouble sleeping. My lack of fulfillment and victim mentality drove me to drown my sorrows in alcohol - frequently blacking out and driving back to base drunk, often not remembering how I got there.

2:00AM on May 20th, 2017 - San Clemente, CA.

While drunk out of my mind (as usual), this time with a copious amount of THC in my system, a new experience for me, my life changed forever.

After breaking and entering into someones home, I found myself in a dream-like state jumping from rooftop to rooftop of 3 story beach houses. 

Long story short, I ended up breaking my ankle and missing my next deployment. This literally and figuratively sobered me up.

 I quit drinking for two years and vowed to change my habits and learn everything I could about holistic health and lifestyle optimization so I could reach my full potential and be proud of the man I was becoming.

I became a CrossFit coach and was recruited to work as the head coach of the biggest CrossFit gym in Saudi Arabia for some of the world's wealthiest (and unhealthiest) men…

But I still wasn't fulfilled. I realized that I am NOT an employee. I wanted freedom. And I wanted to impact men’s lives on a deeper level than fitness. I wanted to find ultimate fulfilment for myself and show other men how to do the same. 

That is when I began drafting my MVVP (Mission, Vision, Values, and Purpose).

I soon realized that the longer I worked a job I didn't fully love, no matter how much money I was earning, I wouldn't be fulfilled, and therefore, diminishing my impact on the world. This drove me to dive head first into creating The Captain's Lifestyle Program.

So I burned the ships at the shore, quit my high paying job, and moved back home in 2019 to begin fulfilling my purpose to #MakeThrivingStandard.

I stopped following the old map and created a new map instead, one that leads straight towards the best treasure imaginable - Optimal Health, Fulfilment, and Freedom. 

In my decade long journey to explore everything about nutrition, mindset, movement, productivity, stress management and more, I was able to construct my own perfect picture of health and happiness and now I use this system to help YOU do the same. 

The Captain’s Lifestyle takes my decade of learning, self experimentation and well over a hundred thousand dollars invested in coaches/mentors and distills that wisdom into a complete lifestyle optimization program designed to help you become The Captain of your own life, make a bigger impact on the world, and THRIVE!
