For many of us, pain is something we’ve learned to silence. We carry the weight of expectations, transitions, and hidden struggles, thinking strength means staying quiet. But here, strength looks different. This is a space built for men who are ready to put down the heavy lifting and find a path toward relief. Whether you're in the middle of a storm or just looking to grow, you are welcome here.

​

My story starts with a deep but hidden pain of emotional aloneness as a successful "entrepreneur" leading company after company to success, but having no real friends or meaningful connection. 

​

It later turned into more acute and confronting pain when I was told "I want a divorce" from my wife.  So much of my identity was tied to being a husband and a father,.. as well as, my past success in business.  And now, I was being told "Get out!"     This then got compounded as our community was mainly held be her, as it is with many relationships. And so my, so called,  friends began to "cancel" me.

 

And I was now not just hiding my emotional aloneness, I was truly all alone. All alone in a barren old apartment where sleep and nourishing connection felt impossible.    

​

Finally that pain went deeper, much deeper.  I was served court papers requesting an emergency custody order change, and thus removed from being with my then 3 year old daughter.  And then served a Restraining order for Emotional Abuse (which was fabricated), and kept from seeing her and my son for many weeks on end.  Only to be then given time under supervision.  So so painful for a safe and loving father. Especially one that was so so alone.

​

The community disrepute and cancel culture was also a big part of the isolation.

​

And, I can say with a lot of joy and peace... there is an end in sight and another side of connection, community and love that awaits us all if we are willing to face our pain, our fear and our needs honestly and openly with others. And most importantly ask for help.  

​

This is why I/we created "For the Love of Men".  To offer hope.  Connection. Support and a path back towards an amazing life.
