Mental F.E.

​My background and education is in Engineering, and renewable energy. My professional dedication and experience along with my dedication to my own personal development has helped provide a framework from which to understand and respond to life’s tendency to unravel. I strive to be the best in all aspects of my life. I don’t always get it right. I am a work in progress. But, the commitment I make to that work is unwavering. Growing up, I was ill-equipped to adequately navigate the varying terrain of my internal emotional landscape. I evolved from challenges life through at me. I was determined to make positive changes in my life and career. As I searched for meaning and what it means to be a good man, I was drawn to physical improvement and fell in love with the psychology of boxing. Boxing is a lot like life. It has technical, tactical, psychological, and physical aspects. It also requires mental toughness encompassing discipline, coping strategies, concentration, and stamina. But, there was still something missing. My interest in boxing led me to the Roman Gladiators, and eventually to philosophy. In studying the philosophy demonstrated by the gladiators, it helped me understand the importance of virtue. It’s important to exercise the body but only to the point of maintaining health without, sacrificing wisdom. So many athletes train their bodies to endure physical pain yet, so few train their minds to endure spiritual pain. According to Seneca, this is what prevents happiness. My hobbies include, reading, anything outdoors, and carpentry. My mission is to be an example of the values I hold myself to: integrity, discipline, courage and compassion. I most enjoy time spent with my wife and son. As your guide, I will empower your journey with authenticity, the skills, resources, and self-awareness to not only thrive but, to be the best version of yourself, as you journey toward your quest.
