About Me, in a few sentences
I'm a loving friend and growth-oriented individual. I'm a social scientist, college professor, and community counselor.
Like most men, I'm deeply complex. I live my values and show up to my responsibilities. I am comfortable with my internal contradictions and am proud to be constantly evolving. I enjoy strength training, grilling in my backyard, H.I.I.T., and am an amateur mycologist. Recently, I started gardening, and journal regularly.
To join my private community of men who thrive, contact me. In it you'll find a supportive space where men and our allies come together to master emotional intelligence, fortify mental strength, and deepen introspection, so that we can lead with clarity, cultivate meaningful relationships, and unlock greater success in all areas of life.
"Trust, vision, wholeness, humane relationships, and hope are the real lifeline of movement building. This means working on self-transformation, healing, hopefulness, and cultivating a vision of possibility."
-Shawn A. Ginwright, The Four Pivots: Reimagining Justice, Reimagining Ourselves

A critical ethnographer, I employ liberatory theories of gender, race, and class to unearth connections between lived experiences and structures of power. My scholarship disrupts pathologizing narratives by employing inclusive epistemologies that amplify subjugated knowledges. Click below to learn more about my work as an author.
