About

We live in a wonderfully unique, yet challenging point in time where we are free to choose a life of our own design. Unfortunately without the right tools and awareness, most of us unknowingly let this irreplaceable opportunity pass us by.  By offering camp experiences for youth (and their parents!) and health coaching for adults, Man Up Nation is starting a virtuous revolution!

 

“Virtue” comes from the Latin virtus, which in turn is derived from vir, Latin for “manliness… Thus… MAN UP!

Man Up Nation (in the process of obtaining non-profit, 501c3 status) was created after I was witness to scores of high potential youth in the back of college classrooms loafing through school and life, not claiming an education or other opportunities to better themselves. On the extracurricular side, potentially great athletes were burnt out on sports and all physical activity at an alarmingly young age. In most cases this was unintentionally brought about by parents and youth coaches with the best intentions in mind.  These trends are not exclusive just to college students. We need to only look in the news and can see our nation’s declining health and lack of personal responsibility.  There is proof in all aspects of our culture.

While this slide may be the trend in our society, I refuse to accept that it is our destination. It is time for a call to Man Up. Intentionally create the future that we desire.

Man Up Nation is for those who desire:

  • strength and vitality that comes with a healthy lifestyle
  • confidence to create the life they know is possible for you and your family
  • courage to achieve their full potential
  • integrity to stand by their virtues and by doing so, create a stronger self, family and community.

Mission:

To build a culture of strong character in America.
