About The Redeemed Second Half
I’ve lived more than one life.
For years, like many driven men, I built companies, chased success, and convinced myself harder work or bigger wins would deliver fulfillment. From the outside, it seemed solid: I founded and sold two major entertainment sites: Screen Rant and Game Rant. And ran at a pace mistaken for purpose.
Inside, it was hollow. The grind took its toll: strained relationships, a failed marriage, an estranged daughter, financial setbacks, and the dawning that my accomplishments were built on sand.
When it crumbled, I faced truths I’d avoided. Rebuilding went beyond money or career. It meant redefining my identity, values, and what I thought the point of it all was. It was messy, humbling, and required confronting what I’d buried while pursuing the next victory.
But change came. I rebuilt confidence in myself as a whole person (not just as an entrepreneur), stabilized my finances, found transformative love that reshaped what matters to me, and grew leaps and bounds in my faith.
Now in my sixties, I’m fit, centered, with clearer priorities. I’ve left entrepreneurship behind but not contribution.
That’s why I created The Redeemed Second Half.
It’s for men who recognize elements of their own journey in mine: men rebuilding after setbacks, strengthening their physical and spiritual well-being, and approaching the years ahead with intention rather than regret.
I’m certainly not a guru, and I’m not offering perfection. I’m a guy who’s climbed, fallen hard, rebuilt, and proved redemption is real. It comes through patient, purposeful effort with the right foundations in place. It’s a slow, steady reorientation of your life toward the things that actually matter.
If you’re ready to take the second half of your life seriously, you’ll find the tools and perspective here to help you do it well.
