From tragedy to purpose

I lost my younger brother Austin to suicide.
That loss changed my life—and became my mission.

Today, I’m a therapist and speaker helping men and organizations start the conversations that save lives.

My work bridges personal story and clinical insight to equip people with real tools for hope, connection, and prevention.
