Becoming a leg locker wasn’t part of the plan when I started jiu-jitsu… but somehow it happened anyway 😅

Photo from my third match, right before the submission. This one ended fast, and we were right in the middle of the exchange when caught the moment perfectly—per usual 📸🔥

A few Photos that my friend and old teammate sent me from my last competition. This Saturday Pip and I will be heading into another tournament. I think I’m more nervous than she is and it’s her first big one.😂

We are thankful for any and all prayers to compete at our best, have a good time, and leave as healthy as we walked in!

This year, I’ve completed 50+ camps at Burn Boot Camp, 100+ jiujitsu, wrestling, and MMA classes at with my kids, and attended 75+ church services and small group meetings at .church. Outside of those weekly commitments I’ve been able to enjoy so many experiences with my wife and kids like camp fires, board games, lunches, lake trips, and a whole lot more. I have to say this has been a truly good year.

For the first time in my adult life, I’ve been able to care for myself physically, mentally, and spiritually—and still feel like I have more to give to the people I love.

I’m so grateful for time spent with family, a workplace that values life outside of work, coworkers who push me to be better, a team that challenges me in the sport I love, and most of all, a church and community that have carried me through hard times and helped me build a stronger relationship with God.

If you have not already, I urge you to get yourself and your family involved. Involved in family activities, involved in some form of fitness community, involved in a church, involved in a small group, and most importantly get involved with God. It’s not about finding happiness, it’s about finding life, REAL LIFE.

Yesterday I went 2–2 for a 4th place finish at my first major ADCC tournament. While I didn’t bring home a medal, I’m grateful for the experience and the chance to test myself on such a big stage. I’m incredibly proud of my coach and teammates who earned medals, and inspired by the hard work they’ve been putting in. With nearly 1,200 athletes competing, it was an honor just to be a part of it all. I’m excited to take what I learned and come back stronger next year.

I saw this picture Evin caught of me at the tournament and felt convicted to share my experience.

Before my tournament yesterday morning I had fear and anxiety that I haven’t felt in a while. I felt physically sick, I felt like I couldn’t get a full breath of air, and I kept playing through “what if’s” in my head.

This is something that used to happen to me almost daily about normal everyday things. I would internally get eaten up by work, my kids, my wife, our house, our future. If I didn’t feel like I had total control over it, I felt helpless and scared. I had irrational fears stemming up in my head every minute of everyday to the point where even sleep became almost non existent for me. The thing is, me having control over anything wasn’t the solution to any of it. Releasing control was the answer. Releasing control to my Father, the one who’s been there with a held out hand the whole time. He saved me. It just took 32 years to realize that my savior was still with me, fully prepared to protect me, and guide me every second of every day.

Yesterday morning was such a good reminder of all of this. My past struggles with depression, and anxiety are so unfamiliar to me at this point that it took me all morning to realize that’s what what was trying to take root again. It brought me back to this verse Philippians 4:6 that I’ve had to reread several times over the last year or so. Such a simple but powerful statement —Stop worrying, start praying. Tell God what you need and thank him for what he’s done. Followed by verse 7 Then you will experience Gods peace which exceeds anything we can understand. That peace will guard your heart and mind as you live in Christ Jesus.🙌🏼

Was I still nervous? Yes. Was I letting it form a new reality in my mind that debilitated me? Absolutely not.

I urge you, if you can relate with these feelings, stop worrying and start praying. He’s been waiting to hear from you.

Something exciting is coming Monday morning. Stay tuned.🤗

These kids are getting big way too fast, and their energy just keeps growing.😂
We’ve already been to the park, then wrestling class, a visit to see G-pa and now lunch time. They haven’t slowed down a beat, and this is them ALL day EVERYDAY. I can’t say I don’t love it though.🥰

The picture on the left about a year before I started Burn. 24 years old, no kids, and no real responsibilities yet. Picture on the right is now only a few months from 32 years old, 3 kids, full time job, a farm, and adding more things to my plate everyday. has no doubt been something that has helped me become both physically AND mentally stronger. I don’t believe I’d be where I’m at now without this community or without the constant push to grow and get better. Whether you are looking for a gym or not I HIGHLY advise you to give Burn Boot Camp a try. Right now we have a 4 week for $99 promo going on and it starts on Monday September 2nd. Do yourself a favor, take the leap, and change your life forever. The link to sign up is in my bio.

Steak from the deer I hunted, bacon from the pigs we raised, eggs from the chickens we raise, and a sourdough waffle Evin made from scratch.😋
This is a GOOD breakfast.🙏🏼🙌🏼

I will love this photo forever, and I will stay in shape for as long as it takes to be on this little guys team in a competition one day.💪🥰
