“Follow your fear.”
Fear points directly toward the places where your life has become stuck. I help men face the fear, shame, and old conditioning affecting their masculinity, sexuality, confidence, and relationships—and move toward the life they actually want.
A private conversation about what’s keeping you stuck and whether working together makes sense.
The work beneath the advice
“Confidence isn’t a trait. It’s a byproduct.”
Most self-help starts at the surface. It tells you what to say, how to act, and what to believe. Then you wonder why you keep recreating the same problem in slightly different forms.
You don’t have to eliminate fear before you can act. Real confidence comes from learning that fear can be present without running your life.

About Chris
I became the man I needed when I was younger.
I grew up girl-crazy and completely unable to do anything about it. After my crush printed out a love letter I wrote her and brought it to school for everyone to laugh at, I decided I was never going to feel anything bad again. I spent the next decade getting really fucking good at hiding my pain and making myself sexually harmless.
By my twenties, I was living in Beverly Hills and making six figures at Myspace, where I was trusted to lead small front-end teams before I was formally eligible for promotion. And I was still a virgin who had never been kissed or gone on a date. I had spent years studying pickup and almost none of it helped. Because the real problem wasn’t a lack of information. It was all the shame, fear, and self-hatred underneath it.
So I spent years working on the real problem. Somatic work. ACT. Buddhism. Learning how to feel fear without letting it run my life. I went from being too afraid to hold a woman’s hand to dating every weekend, exploring nearly every part of my sexuality, and eventually realizing that having a lot of sex without real connection could be another way of hiding.
Social life never happened automatically for me because I’m autistic. I had to reverse-engineer the entire thing and make the unconscious conscious. That became one of my greatest strengths as a coach: I can see patterns other people miss and explain them in a way almost anyone can understand.
I used to debug enormous software systems. Now I do the same thing with human ones. For ten years, I’ve personally coached dozens of men, taught thousands through online communities, and reached millions through my writing. I help men figure out what’s actually running their lives so they can stand tall in the world without needing a woman—or anyone else—to prove they’re enough.

“Chris sees the person in front of him.”
“I’ve done a fair amount of coaching, and Chris gave me solid, actionable feedback, insights, and tools I hadn’t found anywhere else. His breadth and depth of knowledge allow him to read you and build a solution around who you actually are. He’s insightful and kind, he’ll give you tough love when you need it, and he’s funny and brilliant to boot.”
