Day 0

“We have done all we can do, it’s all up to him now”.

Those were the doctor’s words a few hours after Jenz was born. Jenz was born with an Infant Intracranial hemorrhage, and the chances of surviving his first few days were slim.

However, Jenz had someone willing to fight for him. Jenz had a mother who chose to fight for his life.

Jenz seeks to honor his mother by fighting for the betterment of others. Jenz hopes to help individuals know that they are worth fighting for, no matter how “broken” they might feel.

Jenz believes that providing others with mental and emotional skills is the deepest way to make a lasting impact on an individual’s life. By increasing the mental and emotional performance of an individual, we increase the overall performance and quality of life of that individual.

Day 9,849

This day, Jenz truly came alive. Jenz had been hiding an addiction. Jenz knew that he needed help and could not hide any longer. On this day, Jenz did the hardest thing he had done in his life - he came clean. This news shattered his wife of 3 years, sent Jenz straight to rock bottom, and began the road of healing, learning, and growth.

Jenz often says that he would never wish what happened that day and the ensuing years of repairing his relationship on his worst enemy; however, he would not change it for the world. This day eventually gave Jenz the platform he has today to help others who find themselves in “broken moments”.

There is always hope. There is always a path forward as we navigate our broken moments and change the world.
