I know what it feels like to carry pain on the inside.

Life can be hard. I know because I’ve lived it.

Coach, husband, father, and founder of The Inner Lab, a faith-based community helping men break cycles of shame, addiction, and emotional struggle.

My story

It wasn’t quick, and it wasn’t easy.

  1. Age 12

    I experienced sexual abuse at the hands of a family member, and I carried that pain in silence for years. My adolescence was marked by shame, addiction, depression, and anxiety.

  2. In my 20s

    I began my healing journey. It was years of setbacks and breakthroughs. But over time, through faith, the grace of God, and the wisdom of mentors, I discovered a level of healing, peace, and joy I never believed was possible.

  3. Now at 45

    I’ve dedicated my life to walking with other men through their own battles. Not as someone above them, but as someone who has been in the trenches and knows what it takes to climb out.

Why I built The Inner Lab

So men don’t have to carry their pain alone.

I don’t share my story for sympathy. I share it because I know what it feels like to be trapped, and I also know what it takes to get free.

The Inner Lab is a faith-based community where you’ll find brotherhood, practical tools, and real support to break cycles of shame, addiction, and emotional struggle.

What I teach

Three principles that changed my life, and can change yours.

01

You are not your thoughts

Your mind tells you stories that feel true. But they’re not who you are. Once you learn to separate yourself from them, you can finally breathe.

02

Thoughts shape feelings

Your feelings are an echo of your thoughts. Change the thought, and you change the feeling. This is how you stop being controlled by anxiety, depression, and shame.

03

You choose what stays

You don’t have to accept every dark or destructive thought. You have the power to reject lies and replace them with truth that brings freedom and strength.

This is the process I’ll walk you through inside The Inner Lab, so you can stop living at war with your own head and start living as the man God created you to be.

A little about me

Life outside the work.

Husband · Father · Founder of The Inner Lab

I’m married to Camilla, the love of my life, and together we’re raising three amazing kids. I love playing pickleball, learning about how life works, and I’m most grateful for the love and grace of Jesus, who makes all of this possible.
