live fully so you can die complete

GUIDING men to move from numbed-out surviving to bold living - rooted in purpose, intimacy, and Spirit

rad·​i·​cal: the root, the origin.

er·os: life force, desire, embodied love.

is your life full…or just full of noise?

You’ve done the things - career, partner, security.
But something’s missing. It’s quiet, but constant.

You feel it in the pauses. The disconnect.
The sense that you're drifting, despite being "on track."

It’s Not Burnout. It’s Disconnection.

You’ve lost touch with something ancient.
Your body. Your fire. Your truth.

What’s missing isn’t more effort.
It’s Presence. Purpose. Realness.

What Comes Alive When You Stop Performing?

A body you feel at home in.

Relationships built on truth, not roles.

Sex that connects, not just releases.

Work that means something.

A life that leaves nothing unlived.

This Work is a Return.

I guide men back to their instinct, their depth, and their edge.

This isn’t self-improvement. It’s initiation. A return to the man beneath the performance. A return to the origin of your own life force.

Your Radical Eros.

“Do not ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive. And go and do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

— Howard Thurman

hey, I am ish.

Growing up in an undocumented, conservative household and spending my entire adolescence in fear, I became good at blending in within a world that wasn’t mine in an attempt to feel safe. This showed me how fear creates an internal prison, a "soul death" before physical death.

Through more than a decade of parsing out my own truth, and in the process, encountering many deaths of different versions of me, I now help other men do the same — break free from fear-based surviving to creating lives they can die proud of — full of self-belief, incredible relationships, and of deep service.

“NOT HOW LONG, BUT HOW WELL YOU HAVE LIVED IS THE MAIN THING.”

the ethos and the work

“There is one way of breathing that is shameful and constricted. Then, there’s another way: a breath of love that takes you all the way to infinity.”

— Rumi
