About The Sovereign Man
Welcome to The Sovereign Man.
Growing up, I worshipped my dad. To me, he was the greatest man alive. He modelled for me what being a good, strong and masculine man was all about. He was less than perfect, like all of us, but in so many ways, I strove to be like him. But the culture all around me didn’t really reinforce the lessons my dad taught me. I was receiving mixed messages, and that didn’t help. I really didn’t know how to be a man. And when I got married, I had no clue had to be a good husband, and good at being a husband. As a result, I blew up my marriage, and my wife left me.
Maybe you can relate?
Maybe you blew up your marriage, or screwed up your health, or performed poorly at work, or failed at business? You’re ambitious and motivated, but maybe you don’t have a stellar group of men in your life that you can really count on to help you figure out how to navigate all the important issues in life.
That’s why I started the Sovereign Man Movement — to give men like you a community and a resource to become better. Better at what? At everything that matters to you in life, from self-mastery to family, money to health, contribution to career and everything in between. It’s about helping you become the best version of you that you can possibly be. A mentor of mine once called it “be the man you have always wanted to be.”
That resonates with me.
If you’re looking to learn and apply what it takes to become more of the man you were destined to be, you’ve come to the right place.
Why is this important?
Because you deserve to have the best health, fantastic and meaningful family relationships, make more money, take your business or career to the next level, and become a stronger leader in your business and community? Regardless of what society wants you to believe, all of that can be accomplished by helping you tap into the essence of who you really are; a badass, a warrior, a Sovereign Man.
If you’re ready to be that man, I invite you to check out our podcast. You’ll learn from men just like yourself who have taken themselves on and taken their careers, relationships, health, and lives to the next level.
“We’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being strong, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done!”

More About Me
Growing up, I was lucky to have a great father in my life. But when my wife and I split, I realized that my sons were not going to have that luxury. Too many families are broken up, and the kids do not get to have their fathers around. They don’t have someone roughhouse with them, teach them how to throw a baseball, and model out how to be good man for sons, and how to pick a good man for daughters.
I also took a look at the world around me, and became awake to the fact that men and masculinity were no longer being valued and appreciated.
That’s bad for our society. That’s bad for our kids. That’s bad for women. And it’s bad for men.
I have a vision that men and masculinity are once again restored to their honoured place in our society.
Imagine what our world would be like if there were more men in it? Not males. MEN (there is a huge difference).
Since my divorce, I have been hyper-focused on doing more with my sons. I am involved in doing sports with them, taking them to sports matches, and modelling how to be good at being a man for them.
But after talking to a lot of men, I can see that there is a huge need for learning how to be a better father. Fathers teach their sons how to be good men, and good at being a man. They teach their daughters what a good man who is good at being a man looks like, so that they pick the right man when they start forming relationships.
I’ve also seen a massive need for strong and honourable men outside of the home, the kind of men that take care of their families, build their businesses, and lead their communities.
Here’s a great quote from my friend Ryan Michler: “We’re losing the meaning of manhood. We’ve gone away from being strong, rugged, independent, and tough to a collection of wimpy, dependent, whiners. Something has got to be done!"
And that is why I started the Sovereign Man Movement. We’re going to reclaim manhood. We’re going to learn together from the best men in the the world, the ones who have thought deeply about the issue and applied them in their own lives successfully. And together, we’re going to restore a positive vision of masculinity.
I am just a man, like you. I screw up every day. I learn every day. I am no guru in how to be a man. But what gives me the right to have this conversation with you is that I am on on the court, every day, working on becoming a better me, and I am passionate about sharing what I learn. I strive every day to take my weaknesses in life and our them into strengths.
It’s never too late to make a new beginning. Join me. Let’s band together. And let’s become better men together.
