Thought I Was Invincible… Until My Body Said Otherwise
At 22, I was living the dream—fireman, adrenaline junkie, American hero in bunker gear. I felt bulletproof… until the day my right eye felt like it was exploding inside my skull.
That moment was the first domino in a decade-long battle with chronic health issues—sinus surgeries, loss of smell and taste, depression, weight gain, and a deep unraveling of my identity as a man, husband, and leader.
In this video, I open up about:
-
The toxic bravado of fire service culture
-
What it really cost me to ignore the warning signs
-
How I nearly lost myself (and my marriage) in the process
-
The friend who didn’t survive his health battle—and the wake-up call it gave me
-
And why I had to walk away from the firehouse to save my life
⚠️ If you’ve ever felt like your body is betraying you… or your pride is costing you more than you realize… this one is for you.
