My name is Ari, and as a kid I had enormous courage in the physical realm. Flips on skis, jumping cliffs into water, anything spectacular to get attention. I kept pushing this path and it lead me to sponsorships and a full time life of sport. Balancing across thin pieces of rope high in the sky, jumping off cliffs with a parachute on my back, and flying hundreds of miles in a paraglider. 

But all along the way, my relationships were falling apart, I was hurting people through my defensiveness, and I was chronically reactive. From the outside, I looked like a super hero. On the inside, I was insecure, unskilled and constantly on guard. 

I found some insightful info on the internet that helped me understand my childhood. I got a little understanding. I then took this understanding and weaponized it, I was angry and I flailed it around and ruined my marriage. Thrashing, I cut off communication with my father, then my brother. I knew I wanted more and I needed to change but I had no idea how, I had no mentors, I had no coach. But what I had was courage, and I used it to realize that all the shit I was mad about had one common denominator: ME. 

Over the last decade, I have mustered the courage, bit by bit, to look at myself and my life and find things that need to be healed, skills I need to learn and practices that needed to be in place. Through a messy bumblefuck of a journey, I radically changed my life, vastly for the positive. It took a long time, and I didn’t always know it was working. 

Now, I spend my time encouraging other men to dig into their own lives to make radical positive change. I guide them so they don’t have to flail and thrash like I did. It is worth my time and my clients experience profound differences, even with the first call.
