I love the outdoors, travelling, dirt biking, four wheel driving, camping and creating videos.

I’m a visionary and intense action taker, spending my time travelling between Bali and Australia in the outdoors exploring and adventuring. I love to learn about different cultures, meeting new people and gaining an understanding of how the world works outside of the sheltered western world.

But life hasn’t always been like this.

I was born in South Africa and when I was around 7 years old, my family moved us over to Australia. At 12 my parents divorced, a messy breakup that I struggled to understand. I was constantly overthinking and had massive outbursts of rage.

With an unregulated mother and a disconnected father, I thought I needed to man up within my self and not be a victim to my parents' divorce.

I wanted to escape from it all- my mind, my emotions and my body. My thoughts would get the best of me and the demons would come out of the cage. This lead me down the rabbit hole of drugs and alcohol while bouncing between toxic relationships which helped the noise stop temporarily.

I believed I didn’t have a purpose in the world, I felt like an outlier and nobody ever understood me. My demons took over, it all got to much, the noise got louder, the support got quieter and I needed it all to just stop.

 

So I turned to the last resort solution to my temporary problems: Suicide

2 days after my birthday on the 5th of December 2020 I decided this was it.

That night I was drinking a bottle of Wild Turkey Whiskey, I was so delusional in a drunken state but I knew what I needed to do.

At my mothers house in South East Brisbane, I went down to a tree near the dam on the property.

I hung a noose, tied it around my neck and let my drunken body hang lifelessly.

Within seconds, I realised I made a mistake.

My thoughts ran wild, surely this couldn’t be it.

Is this really how I will leave this earth?

After lifting my body up and out, I knew I needed a genuine permanent change to improve my life for good.

Fast track 12 months later, I was immersed in deep self development work tens of thousands of dollars into myself and who I wanted to become.

 

 

After being in various self development courses and programs for the last 3 years, I am now now at a place where my mental clarity is off the charts, I feel a sense of fulfilment and freedom and overall I am living life on my terms.

My dream lifestyle has come through various businesses, from ecommerce to videography and now, prioritising coaching and retreats.

With my life experience and honestly- the things I love doing. I’ve brought it all together.

Self development can be deep, intense and at times, confronting- of course, this is needed to make progress. Now on close to half a decade of intense self development, I have see that there is a gap that no one seems to be filling.

The men’s personal development space has generally 2 parts to it:

• The groups of men who are savages in the gym, ice baths, and progress every single day.

• The other groups who are the opposite, getting into nature, feeling into it and focusing on being super present.

There was no middle ground that I landed with.

I wanted to get out in nature, while being a savage and being present while still making massive progress in my life.

I needed self development to be fun, an adventure and give me a sense of freedom while still making massive progress within in my life.

There was no one providing it in my space, so I have created it for the men who get it. The men who are committed to becoming the best versions of themselves while having an absolute blast doing it!

Life is too short to just exist, we must live.

It’s time for you to get psyched to be alive again!
