My name is Brian, and for over two decades, I’ve dedicated my life to movement, discipline, and resilience.
I grew up in martial arts, training under many instructors—including my father—and eventually began teaching alongside him for nearly 20 years. By my mid-twenties, I opened my own CrossFit gym, building a space where strength wasn’t just physical, but personal. My path has taken me through countless hours of coaching, competition, and self-discovery.
Along the way, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies in 2015. That education didn’t just deepen my understanding of the world—it shaped how I see struggle, meaning, and the quiet truths beneath our daily choices. It taught me that growth is rarely loud, and that discipline, like faith, is forged in the unseen moments.
In 2022, I became a certified Breath Coach, further aligning my work with the inner disciplines that often go ignored. Breath is the gateway to presence, and presence is the foundation of The Carried Path. Whether in the intensity of a ruck or the pause between inhales, breath anchors us to the moment—and to ourselves.
The Carried Path was born in the spaces between all that—when life got quiet, heavy, and real.
I’ve carried a lot over the years. Grief. Growth. Doubt. Purpose. Like many of us, I’ve known what it’s like to break... and rebuild.
Through the stillness of breathwork, the grind of rucks, the sting of cold exposure, and the weight of self-reflection, I found something deeper: a way to live with intention. A way to move forward, even when life feels immovable. That became The Carried Path.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about presence. It’s about showing up—with strength, grace, and humility—to carry what’s yours, day after day.
This space is for those who are ready to grow through discomfort, reclaim their peace, and build a life rooted in something real. Whether you're here to train, to heal, or to simply move forward—you’re in the right place.
Welcome to the path.
May your carry be light.
“You won’t find yourself by running—you’ll find yourself when you stop, pick up the weight, and walk forward anyway.”
