     In 2004, in the midst of rigorous Air Force training, we—Adrian from the West Coast and myself from the Midwest—crossed paths. From two completely different backgrounds, we quickly realized that our differences were our greatest strength. We thrived on structure, discipline, and leadership, but we also shared an undeniable passion for mentorship, sports, and adventure.

     Over the years, we both dedicated ourselves to coaching multiple sports—baseball, soccer, basketball, volleyball, track, and swimming—guiding young athletes not just in their physical performance but in their mindset, leadership, and overall personal development. The lessons we learned in coaching, coupled with the structure and leadership training we received from the Air Force, shaped the foundation of what would later become SIX-Eight Lifestyle.

Where Sports and Adventure Collide:

     As our children grew and became deeply involved in travel baseball and travel softball, our coaching approach evolved. We saw firsthand the demanding schedules, the pressure to perform, and the relentless grind of competitive sports. But we also recognized the need for balance—the importance of getting outdoors, breaking free from structure, and embracing adventure.

     We didn’t just want to raise athletes; we wanted to raise resilient, well-rounded individuals who understood that success isn’t just about what happens on the field—it’s about the mindset, the journey, and the moments in between. That realization is what sparked SIX-Eight Lifestyle—a brand that merges:

• Elite sports training with a focus on mindset, leadership, and growth.
• Outdoor adventure and exploration, because life is bigger than the game.
• Mentorship and balance, ensuring athletes develop both grit and perspective.
• What SIX-Eight Represents

     SIX-Eight Lifestyle isn’t just about sports. It’s about going beyond the game—embracing both the grind and the unwind, the training and the adventure. It’s for those who understand that success is built in the unseen hours, but also recognize that true greatness comes from experiencing life beyond the field.

     This is why our brand integrates apparel designed for both training and relaxation, a mentorship-driven coaching approach, and an outdoor lifestyle that encourages exploration.

A Lifestyle, Not Just a Brand:

     We’ve been together since 2004, married since 2007, and through every chapter of our lives—Air Force, coaching, parenting, and now entrepreneurship—we’ve lived by the same principles: lead, inspire, push beyond limits, and always seek adventure. SIX-Eight Lifestyle is our way of sharing that philosophy with the world.

     This is just the beginning. Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, an adventurer, or someone who simply believes in the power of resilience and exploration, SIX-Eight is for you. Train hard. Live bold. Go beyond the game.
