There is an epidemic in the world, an epidemic of men, husbands, fathers and leaders not living the life their people need them to live. Men consumed with disciplined weakness, anxiety, depression, loss of identity, suicidal and living a life of regret and shame. I was there and am no more. I forged a process of disciplined daily habits of strength and lived according to them. This process changed my life and I once again became the man that I and my people needed me to be!

I am happily married, almost 20 years, we have four boys and a thriving marriage! I am a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Veteran Firefighter Paramedic, and local business owner. A few years ago I was medically retired, lost my career, almost lost our home and we went into complete financial ruin. It was here that I lost myself, my identity and my way. I couldn't stand the man I saw in the mirror, I was very angry at life, I felt like a loser, failure and didn't deserve my family. Ironically, not a single person I have known has ever thought these things of me. Quite the contrary, I have always been a leader, a good son, a good fireman, a good Marine, a good man, husband and father. Accordingly, I have received numerous awards and accolades and have the family to show it. Sure I made mistakes. However, overall I was successful, professionally and personally.
Once the injury, ensuing medical retirement and it's fallout occurred, I lost sense of who and what I was. I became weak in heart, mind, soul and strength. I became disciplined to weakness, lost.
I realized that I needed to get myself out of this pit. I resurrected my old men's group plans and outlines and began working on myself. I began the arduous process of forging myself into the man I needed to see in the mirror. Into the man my people needed me to be. Thus, MF1A - My Family's First Aid was forged into being.
I have helped men to define and redefine who they are. I have helped men save their jobs, marriages, family's and themselves. I have helped them to begin and deepen their relationship with God. To become disciplined men of strength. Through my forging process and example of being a man, husband and father, on-line men's groups, and in person relationships.
