2025 got off to a rough start, I went through some pretty serious health stuff, and I had to do some serious fasting to get my gut back in balance. You probably can't tell but I was quite miserable when I took this picture. And I am much happier to be eating all the food again..... but damn those starvation abs..... by @secretsofstrength

There's not much to say, but.... wow, universe, thank you for my life. Filled with beautiful moments like this, and oh, so many other things seen and unseen.

Thank you, @naturally_milosz, for inspiring and capturing this sunset rooftop flow....🙏🙏🙏🤩

I understand that women have to navigate a world where inappropriate behavior from men is far too common. Regrettably, I've been part of that problem, and it's something I've spent time reflecting on and working to change. I continue to challenge myself, take responsibility for my behavior, and strive to be better.
My work puts me in a particularly intimate position with people, many of them women. Bodywork involves touch, vulnerability, trust, and a unique dynamic between practitioner and client. I recognize that this dynamic can sometimes be difficult to navigate, and that what feels appropriate or well-intentioned from my side may not always feel the same from the other side of the table.
I care deeply about the women in my life. At heart, I'm someone who loves women and wants them to feel safe, respected, and at ease in my presence. I try to bring that intention into every space I occupy, but I also recognize that good intentions don't automatically translate into good experiences.
I want to understand where there may be a gap between my intentions and my impact. If there are things I say or do, boundaries I inadvertently cross, or ways I conduct myself that create discomfort or send the wrong message, I genuinely want to know.
The intimate nature of my work isn't an excuse; it's a reason to be especially mindful. I want to make sure I'm maintaining clear boundaries, creating an environment where people feel comfortable speaking up, and continuing to refine how I show up as a practitioner and as a man.
If you've had an experience with me that you'd like to share, I'm open to hearing it. I'm not asking anyone to take care of my feelings or to help me feel better about myself. I'm asking because listening is part of how I believe I can grow, and because the experiences of the women I interact with matter to me. by @secretsofstrength

Had some fun flowing with this vintage dumbell, the idea was to celebrate the old time strongman who's wisdom and classic physique inspired my evolution when I was young and hungry for the secrets of strength. Carrying the torch forward and hopefully inspiring others with the most important secret of all, the work is never over.. Everyday we carve and refine our legacy into our bodies. This did not happen over night. 27 years of devotion at the temple of embodiment. Grateful for all.

The video of me flowing was captured by @naturally_milosz

The flow was cool but videos came after that era and the images really felt powerful to me like they captured something ephemeral.

Enjoy! by @secretsofstrength

This was Coalesce — August 15th, 2026..

Not something we come to simply watch.
Something we create together.

Music, movement, play, conversation, food, stories, old friends, new friends, and those moments that could never quite be planned.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped bring this night to life:

@deepgush and @secretsofstrength for carrying us through the night with music.

@ericallenphoto for the beautiful photography and for capturing so many of these moving moments — along with all the friends who pulled out their phones and cameras throughout the night.

@hoperosemary for holding so much of the logistics, taking care of the snack table, and helping all the little pieces come together.

@kevinscottcannon and @dragonflystudiosla for giving us such a special playground to gather in — and for getting up on the walls and dancing with us.

@naturally_milosz for sound, lighting, video, and all the countless little things happening behind the scenes.

And to everyone who brought snacks to share, stories from your adventures, curiosity, movement, presence, and yourselves.

We especially loved having friends make the journey from Santa Barbara, Nevada City, Grass Valley, and beyond to share the space with us.

Because community isn’t something happening around us.

We are the community.

Every person who walks through the door changes the night.
Every conversation adds something.
Every body on the dance floor becomes part of what we’re creating together.

Thank you to everyone who came and made this one what it was.

Come dance with us.
Come play with us.
Come create the next one with us.

We are Coalesce. by @secretsofstrength

Five weeks ago, one of my closest and oldest friends encouraged me to enter a physique competition—something I had never considered doing in a million years.

I was initially completely resistant to the idea. But once I decided to say yes, I allowed that five-week deadline to completely align and focus my energy like a laser.

I’m so grateful for this experience. It reminded me that I can do more. That I can train harder, eat cleaner, and be more focused and dedicated—not just to this pursuit, but to any pursuit I truly want. Having a goal really does push you beyond your comfort zone.

And I, for one, love comfort. Lots of Taurus energy over here. 😂

I’ve intentionally pursued health and wellness, strength and mobility, and physical excellence for 27 years. It’s easy for me to maintain what, for others, probably feels like something out of reach. This isn’t a flex—although that picture definitely is. 😏

The point is that sometimes I coast. Sometimes I allow myself to be more comfortable than I should.

I’m motivated and excited to spend more time training with my friends, more time dedicated to a refined diet, and more time pursuing excellence in my strength, mobility, and now my physique as well.

Five weeks. One goal. A very useful reminder of what happens when I truly focus my energy. by @secretsofstrength

When it comes to effective training,th e movements repeat (again and again) but sometimes the implementation of that movement gets a spicy variation....this keeps the workout fresh and teaches us nuance about how we engage our musculature.

If you want to learn how to strengthen your body in a safe and effective way, I teach the compound classes at @primalmovesvenice. Im passionate about technique, and form, I want others to feel what I feel when I train. This is the only way we can know if the worl is being done in a beneficial and supportive way. by @secretsofstrength

Summer has a way of calling us outward. ☀️✨

Some of us are headed to the playa. Some are traveling the world. Some are chasing new adventures closer to home.
Before our paths scatter in every direction, let's gather one more time.

Coalesce has always been more than a dance—it's a place to reconnect, welcome new faces, share stories, and remember that no matter where life takes us, we have a community to come home to.

Whether this is your last dance before the playa, your first Coalesce, or simply another beautiful Saturday with your favorite people, we'd love to see you there.

Saturday, August 15
@dragonflystudiosla
8:00 PM — Doors Open
8:30 PM — Opening Circle
9:00 PM — @deepgush
10:30 PM — @secretsofstrength

Come dance. Come connect. Come celebrate the spirit of adventure—and the people who make it meaningful.
💛 by @secretsofstrength
