I spent most of my adult life working inside someone else's dream. Steady job. Steady paycheck. Checking the right boxes. Then I turned 40. Two ER visits in two years. I looked fine on the outside. I wasn't.
My wife handed me a trial CrossFit membership. I found the door. I took control of the one thing I could control — my body. Once I did that, everything else started to shift. Not just how I felt. Who I thought I was allowed to be. I kept coaching on the side while I finished out my corporate career — nearly a decade as a CrossFit instructor, over a thousand hours of 1:1 work. I left at 50. No safety net. No master plan. Just the next step.
I'm 53 now. My son Kai is chasing a racing career and I had no idea how to make that happen, so I learned to be a mechanic. I coach. I write. I train toward trail ultras. Every year I put on a workout that carries my father's name — he served 20 years in the Army. I'm still building this. Still figuring out what I'm capable of. That's not a disclaimer. That's the point.
Most of what's here is free. Look around. Take what's useful. If you came here because something in your own life isn't working — stay a while. If you see yourself in any of this, the door's open.
