At this stage of my life, I’m interested in observing, accompanying, learning and guiding through a lifetime of experiences formed through faith. The ES Apprenticeship offers an opportunity to sit with men, listen carefully, and better understand how awakening-oriented work helps people name wounds, responsibility, and next right action.
I’ve been married to my wife, Denese, since 1998. She’s a registered nurse with a long career in cardiac care, and her steadiness, discipline, and service have shaped our family life in quiet but powerful ways.

We have two adult children. Our son, Ryan, works in logistics and supply chain management, and our daughter, Kathryn, is beginning her professional life in public service as a congressional syaffers. Watching both of them step into responsibility has been one of the most grounding experiences of my life.

Family, for me, is where faithfulness is tested daily—not through big moments, but through consistency, presence, and responsibility.
I attended Dangerous for Good last year, have listened to several Zoweh podcasts, and participated in book studies like Heart of a Warrior and King Me.
I encountered Jesus early life through the Church, combat experiences and formation. Over time, that relationship has deepened through lived faithfulness, grounded in Military discipline, situational awareness, and discernment.
When asked about how I stayed steady when my wife nearly died in early 2000’s. Many thought it was my Military training, yet they were surprised to know that My“Jesus story” means offering a truthful account of lived faith—how following Christ has guided how I show up, take responsibility, and remain faithful and reverent, maintaining calm in chaos.
I understand wounds, vows, and agreements as natural human responses to pain and threat. Wounds are experiences that disrupt trust or safety. Vows and agreements are often the internal decisions people make—sometimes unconsciously—to protect themselves or regain control in the aftermath.
I experienced a level of childhood uncertainty that carried a quiet sense of shame and self-reliance. It shaped some early schemas around control and responsibility, which I’ve had to become aware of and intentionally reorder over time.
My familiarity with spiritual warfare is grounded lived experience—recognizing how fear, shame, resentment, isolation, and false narratives can degrade judgment, agency, and faithfulness over time. I understand spiritual warfare primarily as a battle for the heart and mind—where pressure, deception, and disordered attachments can quietly shape choices and identity.
I hear from God most clearly in stillness—when I’ve stopped the conflict and sat quietly. What comes isn’t detailed guidance, but a clearer sense of how I need to act faithfully and responsibly.
Much of my training came through leadership roles where listening accurately mattered—high-stakes environments where misunderstanding carried consequences. Over time, I’ve learned to ask fewer questions, reflect what I hear, and resist the urge to solve or interpret another man’s experience.
