End of Summer Update 🌿

This past spring I said goodbye to a 15-year relationship with CrossFit (it was me, not them). Turning 45 this year felt like hitting a wall, and my body started quietly telling me, “this isn’t working anymore.” That was a hard reality to face, and for a while I felt a little lost wondering what was next.

Movement has always been a part of my life — as a CrossFit, yoga, and Pilates instructor, and now as a massage therapist. So I decided to explore bodybuilding. The slower, more methodical approach appealed to me, especially since years of kipping had left my shoulder feeling worn down. Bodybuilding felt like a chance to rebuild my foundation with more care.

By luck, I crossed paths with two coaches out of Vancouver, and , who agreed to take me on this past May. They’ve been nothing but patient, encouraging, and generous with their knowledge as I started from scratch, learning about hypertrophy training, time under tension, and the world of macros.

It’s been humbling, to say the least. At 45, I’m slower, the workouts are longer (90–120 minutes, five days a week), and there have been plenty of bumps with energy, motivation, and discipline. But after four months, I’m starting to see small changes in both my body and my mindset, and I feel grateful for that.

When clients or friends ask what I do outside of work these days — the truth is, I’m usually lifting. A lot. And when I’m not, I’m walking my cats around Seattle, grateful for this quirky little chosen family we’ve made here.

Happy Pride.

In the summer of 2019, I was first told that I was no longer—if I ever truly was—a “full-fledged” member of the LGBTQ+ community. Why? Because I’m a cis, white man who can situationally camouflage his sexuality and therefore “benefit” from heteronormative male privilege.

Shortly after, I was told to stop calling myself a “gay man” because it wasn’t inclusive enough—and that I should refer to myself as “q***r” from now on.

The truth is, I’ve never truly felt part of any community—growing up or even now. I’m just me. But for many, that’s not enough. I’m expected to conform, to be willing to let others define me, label me, rebrand me.

I don’t agree.

I won’t be rebranded, and I won’t allow any community to tell me who or what I am—or am not.

This isn’t a popular opinion, and I’m by no means a popular person. And I’m completely unapologetic about it.

This summer I’ll turn 45. I’ve survived more loss, heartbreak, and dysfunction than most people experience in a lifetime. At 40, I began rebuilding my life from the ground up. I said goodbye to nearly every character from Act I.

The intermission was a years-long storm I called my “midlife crisis”—though it was more accurately my true awakening.

I fell asleep at the wheel early in life, the result of systemic conditioning and a self-preservation instinct shaped by those closest to me. That cost me dearly. But I no longer blame them—or myself. I moved on.

Act II looks like this: me, a little kooky, surrounded by my two cat daughters, sitting quietly in the LGBTQ+ community—yet never fully part of it. That sense of not quite fitting in has been the one constant in my life. Still, I’ve found a kind of peace. Contentment. Even happiness. Always with knowing.

Scholars say it’s a privilege to grow older. But for those of us labeled gay, q***r, or any of the other names I’ve been called—both to my face and behind my back—it’s more than privilege.

It’s an act of defiance to age as a gay man in this world. And I’m proud—of who I am and everything I’ve survived.

Day Off: Today I spent the day with a client and now friend who comes from a long lineage of deep Seattle family history.

We went to Mt Si, Snoqualmie Falls, Woodinville (which has a wine region and amazing) and Kirkland (which I think is my favorite region of Seattle and reminds me of Carmel/Monterrey).

Although it was a high of 35 degrees, it was pure sun and blue skies and a perfect day off.

The region of this country is the most beautiful and dramatic compared to anywhere else.

So many gems and I have barely conquered in my 18 months here.

My one and only Throw Back for 2024.

10 years ago this month I was:

• 34 years old and enrolled in clinical massage therapy school in downtown Chicago (this pic was taken about 4am in the Balboa VIP tent for the Chicago marathon).

• We/students were required to service the VIP tent for no compensation in order to graduate massage school (such a scam!)

• I was teaching 16 Yoga Sculpt classes across the city of Chicago to pay for my food and shelter and living like a peasant.

• With that amount of exposure and opportunity, I was asked by a professional photographer to “express myself” as my entity was based exclusively in movement/touch/creativity.

• I’m thankful this moment/snapshot of my life was captured in photography as I’m not a sprint chicken anymore.
