I’m an entrepreneur, author of *Quit the Game*, and founder of The Aligned Man Method.

For most of my adult life, I thought becoming a better man meant making more money, getting in better shape, attracting more women, building status, and having a life that looked impressive from the outside. I spent years and tens of thousands of dollars on dating programs, self-improvement, fitness, coaching, and trying to become the guy I thought I needed to be.

Eventually, I got a lot of what I was chasing—and realized it still didn’t make me feel like enough.

MDMA-assisted therapy helped me see the childhood wounds, addictions, toxic relationships, and need for validation that had been driving a lot of my behavior. It also brought me to Christ in ways I still can’t fully explain.

Now my goal is to help other men avoid wasting ten years chasing something they’ll never catch and start building confidence, identity, and purpose from the inside out.
