Fostering Transformation and Inspiring Hope

The Academy of Life Change was founded in 2017, initially as a personal training business focused on helping individuals achieve their fitness goals. However, I soon recognized that true transformation extends beyond physical fitness. 

This realization prompted an expansion into a coaching business, where, in 2019, I began offering behavioral change coaching and life coaching to address the mental and emotional aspects of personal development. 

In 2021, I took a significant step by opening my own life coaching studio and private gym, where I had the privilege of coaching hundreds of men and women to change and transform their lives both mentally and physically. Alongside this, I launched my YouTube channel and started podcasting, creating valuable content that would reach and inspire even more individuals.

As my focus increasingly shifted toward supporting men struggling with sex addiction and compulsive sexual behavior in late 2021, I invested in expanding my knowledge and expertise. 

Initially certified in personal training and nutrition by which I achieved the highest level of fitness coaching as a Master Personal Trainer and certified Nutritionist, I pursued additional certifications, which now include life coaching, behavioral health coaching with a specialization in sex addiction recovery, and brain fitness coaching. 

I also became a certified transformation specialist and disciplined myself in martial arts, earning my second-degree black belt in Taekwondo under Master Palmer in 2023. 

This diverse background allows me to take a holistic approach to coaching, empowering individuals to not only achieve physical fitness but also foster lasting mental and emotional well-being as part of their transformative journey where I instill confidence, character, and a reinvigorated spirit.

Today, in 2025, at the Academy of Life Change, I am dedicated to fostering transformation and healing for individuals grappling with the struggles of sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, and substance abuse and its related shame, guilt, isolation, and internal pain and confusion. My focus has transitioned from personal training to investing time coaching men in pain because of their behavior, transform their lives through a radical shift in their mindset. 

My mission is to guide men toward a healthier, confident, more fulfilling life, and I want to help as many people as possible avoid losing everything I did—relationships, family, friends, career, reputation, and ultimately, their freedom.

The Academy was born from my own vision of hope and change. My transformational journey began in 2012 when I hit rock bottom and faced the devastating consequences of addiction. This profound experience forced me to confront the darkest parts of myself, helping me emerge transformed.

Inspired by the unwavering support of my coach, Tony, I recognized a deep calling to help others who find themselves in similar despair, striving to spare them from the anguish and loss I endured.

Here, I combine a wealth of knowledge and strategic techniques honed through years of personal struggle and professional education. The coaching programs I created are built upon a foundation of compassion, understanding, and effective strategies that facilitate deep, lasting change. 

I employ elements from my coaching programs, the Addiction Transformation Formula, REBOOT30, and CBT-101, to create comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs who are courageously battling their addiction, and guide them toward self-realization, confidence, and healthy sexual expression.

My approach transcends traditional recovery methods; I focus on reshaping mindsets and redefining relationships with addiction. At the Academy of Life Change, I believe in nurturing the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Addiction is a spiritual malady, meaning a disconnect with the self and others. We help men reconnect with themselves and others and expand their purpose and life meaning to a higher level of achievement and success.

Through my innovative programs, which are grounded in proven strategies and techniques supported by therapeutic approaches, I strive to empower participants to liberate themselves from the burdens of shame, guilt, and regret, with shame being the greatest of these. 

My goal is to encourage them to reconnect with their passions and confidently reclaim their futures, fostering integrity and nurturing a healthy expression of their sexuality.

I am committed to creating a supportive and nurturing environment where individuals can heal, grow, and thrive. My hope is that any man struggling with the shame, guilt, and isolation of sex addiction and compulsive sexual behavior will allow me to help change their way of life in time to save their life. 

Together, we can illuminate the path to recovery and rediscover the joy of living authentically, honestly, and proud. 

Welcome to the Academy of Life Change—your journey to a brighter future starts here.
