I Know What It Feels Like to Carry Pain in Silence
On the outside, you’d never know what some men have been through. We keep moving, we keep working, we put on the mask that says “I’m fine.”
But underneath, it’s a different story.
I know because I’ve lived it.
I grew up in Gilbert, Arizona. At 12, I experienced sexual abuse from a family member — and I carried that pain in silence for years. My adolescence was marked by shame, addiction, depression, and anxiety.
In my 20s, I finally began a healing journey. It wasn’t quick and it wasn’t easy. It was years of setbacks and breakthroughs. But over time — and 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.
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
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 exists so men don’t have to carry their pain alone. It’s 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
At the heart of my coaching are three principles that changed my life — and can change yours:
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.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.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.
