A Simple Dad's Purpose
This was me at 30 (left). A personal trainer... who was burned out, tired of being tired, and eventually hated looking in the mirror.
​
I was running 50 sessions a week. Opening the gym at 5:45 AM after fighting 695 traffic. Home by 2 to relieve the babysitter, because my wife worked nights as a first responder.
​
Full day of work. Then 2 little kids while on Dad Duty, which was way more work.
​
I wasn't lazy. I was out of energy. And the plan that always worked for me? It stopped working. I wasn't a kid anymore. I was a Dad, with people counting on me.
​
I needed a New Plan.
I started small. 1 20-minute workout. Set a timer. Didn't matter what exercises I did, just do something.
I went in with the Mindset saying, "What can I do on Bad Day?"
And I started building from the floor up instead of reaching for higher ceilings.
That 1 20-minute workout eventually became a consistent 3 20-minute workouts a week. Eventually, they grew into 45-minute workouts.
I lost 30 lbs, and I was back on track with my strength and physique goals. I knew what to do with my credentials, but applying it as a hard-working father was something that became so much more important to me when I now had someone looking up at me like a hero, calling me ".
I learned Fitness was a Force Multiplier in developing Healthy Habits.
Discipline & Consistency are my greatest values. And my mission is to share what I know with all the Dads Who Lift who value the same.
​
So in 2016, I posted one free fitness tip on Facebook. Every single day. For a year. Before I ever asked for a sale.
I wanted to show myself that if I'm passionate enough about this, I trust my Discipline and Consistency will produce.
I remember like it was yesterday: My wife and I took the kids to the beach for a family vacation we saved up for. I told my kids that their Daddy needs a moment to ask everyone he knows, "How Can I Help You?"
​
That's when I launched my Online Coaching and Personal Training business for busy Dads tired of being tired who needed simple solutions for gaining muscle, losing fat, and improving strength while working towards their goals for personal growth.
Looking at the waves crashing on the beach from the balcony, I never realized how big of a blue ocean opportunity it became.
I understand that taking big leaps takes trust. I believe trust is given, but mistrust is earned. But I believe in this quote by author William Arthur Ward:
"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."
If you just want to talk about what your blue ocean opportunity could look like, let's get connected TODAY.
That's me at 40 (right). More energy. A better dad, a better husband, a better coach.
​
Not all peaks. Plenty of valleys. But here's what changed: I stopped obsessing over how hard I could work... and got obsessed with how well I could recover all of my hard work so I could actually enjoy the fruits of my labor.
​
Find a plan that works. Work the plan. And when it stops working? Be a surfer. Paddle out. Ride the wave. Adjust.
​
I only take on 5 dads at a time in my premium coaching. If you're a hard-working dad who lifts but is tired of spinning your wheels, let's talk. Even if you're just curious, or you know a dad this would fit, reach out and see what it looks like.
