How Can Finding Your Purpose and a Like-Minded Faith-Based Community Make a Difference for You?
For me, it’s been having guys in my corner, challenging me, and pushing me to be the best version of myself that I can be. That means rubbing elbows with other driven, professional men and business owners who know the challenges of life, business, and raising a family.
When done correctly, transformation in all areas of life can happen. Personally I’ve learned how to be a more loving husband and a more patient and present father. It’s continually growing my faith and taking bold next steps in helping people find and follow Jesus. All the while using my skills to spread the word of the podcast and growing my 8-figure business portfolio in less than 20 hours per week, building a 500+ membership community, and having the ability to generously give back to my community both my time and my talents.
When Someone Asks Me
"What do you do for a living?"
I now respond that I’m a Stew•ard•pre•neur: a person who leverages their God-given talents, passions, and resources to serve and create lasting impact in people, businesses, and their communities.
I’m on a mission to help men grow in their faith to become better husbands & fathers and accelerate their businesses so they can experience freedom to reach their fullest potential and be a blessing to others.
I got here by identifying my ikigai (reason for being). When I did this, it became clear that my purpose is in helping other men through support, guidance, and accountability so that they can become who God made them to be in all aspects of life.
Here is MY IKIGAI
I want to partner with you in becoming the best version of yourself; to help you find your ikigai; and to empower you to make a greater impact in your home, business, and community.

Hey There,
I want to connect with you on a personal level, because I understand the incredible demands life can place on us, especially as fathers and professionals. You see, I’ve been where you are – juggling multiple ventures while being a dedicated husband and father to five amazing kids. There are no excuses, but there are valuable lessons.
I’ve walked the path of entrepreneurship and achieved significant financial success, but it wasn’t always a smooth ride. I’ve faced the pitfalls and setbacks that come with building businesses, and I’ve felt the strain it can put on family life. In fact, I almost lost my marriage due to my focus on money and neglecting the right priorities and a healthy lifestyle.
It was a wake-up call that shook me to my core, and it’s why I’m so passionate about what I do now. I’m not just a coach and facilitator; I’m a professional who’s been in the trenches of business and the trenches of dirty diapers. I’ve faced the consequences of taking my eyes off what truly matters.
But here’s the important part: I also found a community of like-minded men who came alongside me, held me accountable, and helped me refocus on what’s truly important. God saved my marriage and reshaped my life, but the men in my life challenged and encouraged me to take that step in faith.
Now, I’m here to offer you that same support, guidance, and accountability. I’ve been through it all, and I’ve come out stronger and wiser. If you’re looking for someone who understands the challenges of balancing success in business and family life, who’s walked through the darkest moments and emerged with a renewed sense of purpose, then you’re in the right place.
Join our community, and let’s embark on this journey together. Success is not just about financial gains; it’s about achieving harmony in all aspects of life.
So, Consider THESE questions… Have you designed your life and live in a way that points people to Jesus, serving others in your work? Are you using your BEST TALENTS and the gifts God gave you to PASSIONATELY live in your CALLING and PURPOSE? Our best definition of success is when we hear the Lord of Lords say to us at the end, “Well done, my good and faithful servant”. What can you START DOING today to take JustOneStep towards that kind of life NOW?
I’m here to help and guide you find that balance and make sure you never lose sight of what truly matters!
