Meet Ted
TED’S APPROACH
Ted coaches from the inside of a life that has been examined, challenged, rebuilt, and chosen — deliberately and on its own terms.
His work is built on honest inquiry, deep listening, and a refusal to let a man settle for less than he is capable of. He works through the whole man — identity, values, purpose, relationships, and the gap between the life being lived and the life that is possible.
Most men in sustained recovery have never given themselves permission to reach for what comes next. Not just stability. Not just gratitude. Something more alive than that.
What it feels like to wake up knowing that the life you're living is genuinely yours. Not performed for anyone. Just real.
That's what joy looks like for the men Ted works with. Not something they stumbled into. A life they built.

A PERSONAL NOTE
Several years ago, Ted and his wife Nancy sold the fixed address and chose a life on the road — winters in Mexico and summers driving their “Magic Bus” across North America.
Not a crisis. Not an escape. A conscious choice, made from inspiration, on their own terms.
It is a life of genuine freedom and real joy. And it is proof of concept for everything he coaches.
Ted works with clients internationally by phone and video.

TED’S STORY
Ted grew up learning, the way many men do, that worth was something you earned and the inner life was best kept private.
For years, substances helped him maintain that arrangement. Until they didn't.
Getting sober in 1984 created space where the real questions could finally surface. Who am I, actually? What do I value — freely, for myself? What does a life that's genuinely mine look like?
Those questions required honesty. The courage to stop living from obligation and start living from genuine inspiration. A willingness to believe that a man who has been through what he'd been through isn't just entitled to survive.
He's entitled to thrive.
That conviction grew into a calling. The most important work a man in recovery can do is not just the work of staying sober — it's the work of becoming. Of building a life of genuine purpose, real meaning, and true alignment. A life where freedom is not just the absence of addiction, but the presence of joy.
That arrival is the foundation of everything Ted does.
