This Avenue Magazine cover and feature isn’t about success or balance. It’s about building a life you don’t need to escape from.
Fitness gave me clarity and energy I didn’t have when I was buried in the restaurants and mistaking long hours for real impact.
These days I work smarter, lead better, and try to show up with intention as a mentor, a partner, a builder, and most importantly an above average husband and a fun dad 🙂
Still learning. Rolling into 2026 with some big goals.

This is the Portuguese take on the French “croque-monsieur.” Its widely eaten in Porto at pubs and brasseries. Its a monster of a sandwich so I would recommend sharing! Visit the @farmersfinesteggs website for the full recipe 🇵🇹🍳
I thank god I saw the light, had the courage and made the choice to quit.
I am all onboard this wellness trend too!
If you can relate to this then I am also talking to YOU!!
You are not alone. There are millions that have gone before us.
As soon as you are willing to make the right choice, an INCREDIBLE life is waiting for you on the other side!!!

Rules are a bit different in our house… the are allowed to play with fire 🔥
Some things are taught.
Some things are passed down quietly over time. You think they aren’t watching but they see it all…
Adding wood to the fire. Helping in our butcher shop. Cooking over live fire. Seeing that good things come from work, patience, and creating with your hands… not just opening a package.
They might not care yet.
But it stays with them.
Then one day they reach for the next log without being asked. 🔥
