"An incredible life change,not only for our son, but for the whole family."
"Thank you so much Kenny. I’m not sure what or who brought you to be who you are but you are a beautiful soul❣️You’ve made me cry twice now but in a good way ☺️💕"
"Kenny embodies the essence of mentorship. His authenticity and relatability create a safe space for open dialogue and growth for boys and young men. Through the lens of his own life experiences, he effortlessly connected with my son, serving to guide and inspire. Not just a source of advice, he has the ability to hold individuals accountable while also offering support without judgment.
Rather than list differences I have seen during the mentorship program, its more about recognising shifts in behaviours. The subtle nuances of increased emotional intelligence, more mature, considerate and empathetic responses to situations, and the ability to see the bigger picture that are most evident.
We feel extremely lucky to have crossed paths with Kenny and know that his influence will continue to positively impact our son's journey toward adulthood.
Kenny's dedication, empathy, and wisdom have left an indelible mark on our lives, instilling in us a sense of gratitude. We are immensely thankful for the guidance and mentorship he has provided both my son and our family."
Kenny has been a terrific coach for my young adult son.
Even with quite a bit of push back from my son ("I've got this." "I don't need any help."), Kenny was able - through persistent (but not pushy) contact, able to actually get my son to open up a bit and I believe actually begin to develop an actual relationship. Without a male role model in my son's life, I have tried through the years to keep him exposed to positive and encouraging men through Church, Sports, Scouts, etc.
Kenny certainly fit that bill with his approach to helping my son find his inner strength and his true self - something this mixed up world does not help our young men with. Kenny went above and beyond, in my opinion, continuing to try and reach out even though the actual time period for the program had expired, he seemed so very sincere in wanting to help & I would certainly recommend his coaching abilities for any young man. I really believe Kenny was able to have more positive impact than 12 months in a residential program.
"I have already gained important insights through speaking with Kenny and wholeheartedly resonate with both him and the program."
"We would really be comfortable with continuing his mentoring with you.I feel he is in real need of help and has progressed the most with you over and above the psychologists he has seen."
"The past 12 weeks have gone by way too quickly. You have been amazing with the boys. Your calm and friendly manner has made it easy for the boys to connect with you and as a result they have gained so much from your enormous knowledge and life experience. Your dedication to helping people of all ages navigate life’s challenges is inspirational. You are truly a gifted coach and mentor. We are very fortunate the boys had you as their coach. Thank you for all you have done for them."
"Kenny is an incredible coach and mentor with rich life and professional experience to support your son through his own life’s challenges and experiences .
Kenny has been personable, nurturing, always giving us the support and advice as required to deal with any situations we have faced or facing. Having his objective standpoint has allowed us to revisit situations with a different perspective that is conducive to better communication and enhance the relationships within the family.
Incredibly, Kenny has always been contactable , and felt like an extension of our family . We were able to comfortably take a step back and put our trust in Kenny to allow him to support our son the best way possible. As a coach he has always been an amazing support to our son , helping him navigate his way through every aspect of his life, helping him set goals that are important to him and stepping through these .
Our son has become more communicative, more empowered and has been able to turn his life around with goals and purpose.Our heartfelt gratitude to Kenny not only for his professionalism and skills in coaching and mentoring, but for the wonderful qualities he possesses as a role model to our son."
"Kenny was calm, articulate, intelligent, and had life experiences that spoke to a person who had dealtwith mental and physical challenges that most people could not begin to comprehend. Importantly for me he not only spoke but also listened, and this was reflected in the way he dealt with the two different personalities that he was presented with.
Kenny possesses a great sense of humor, and is quite up for a conversation on many levels, from sport to work life to psychology. He has a solid grasp on a huge amount of the human experience, and he has been able to share that with the boys on their path.
We are delighted with the progress that our sons have made. I can unequivocally state that this is in no small part due to Kennys skill in communication, and professional handling of the content of the course, which has obviously been absorbed and subsequently acted upon.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Kenny for any mentoring role, as well as having all the necessary skills that a ‘LifeCoach’ can apply to enhance other peoples experience."
"Super proud parent here. I had a call from Charlie's teacher to let me know he got the top score for his math test. Yesterday he was the top of the class for his English assessment task. I am beyond proud of how far Charlie has come since starting the mentorship. Thank you so much for your encouragement & coaching."
"...you have definitely helped us and him and thank you for your guidance over these months."
"...he has progressed the most with Kenny over and above the psychologists he has seen."
"...for him to meet you and for him to feel that you really genuinely care about him has been worth every cent."
"...gone above and beyond to be there for him. ******** really likes and respects him."
SON TESTIMONIALS
"Kenny’s coaching services are a hidden gem given the number of people who would benefit from meeting him (and how many he’s already helped). Consistently positive. High achiever and strong integrity + work ethic. Solid role model for anyone seeking a mentor."
“Being mentored by you has been an honor, I have felt so much better and happier about myself and I can't thank you enough.”
"Kenny was an amazing coach. I learned so much through all of the weeks. Whether it be motivation, stress levels or goal setting he always had the most valuable advice to give. I would highly recommend."
Kenny helped me in a time of need. He helped guide me through a tough time in my life. He gave me great advice on working on issues, goal setting, stress management, and overall growth, just to name a few. He created a safe, non-judgmental space for me to express myself. Im happy that I was able to work with him in the time I got to. He is not just just a mentor but a genuine person. I could tell he truly cared about me when I expressed my issues with him. I could tell he wanted the best for me. In a life where there are twists and turns, sometimes all we need is someone to talk to and help guide us. Kenny did just that for me. Kenny has amazing life experience and wisdom.
Working with Kenny for three months was amazing. He was patient and easy going. He taught me a lot about how to tackle certain aspects of life and how to overcome problems. The things he taught me has been able to help me now and will help me for years to come
Kenny has been a great role model over the time I’ve spent talking with him. He has taught, and helped me through a few troubles in my life, and for this, I am greatly appreciative. Kenny has guided me to become a better man, not just for myself, but for my family and friends.
"Going into the whole experience that Kenny would eventually provide for me I was skeptical and assumed that Kenny would be like all the other people that have ever tried to help me... Within our first call I could tell that Kenny was a no nonsense person which intrigued me initially. I was struggling with motivation and the ability to follow through with goals, throughout my talks with Kenny he helped me to acknowledge that growth is not always uphill and without mistakes you cannot learn. Since the beginning of my talks with Kenny I as a person have improved greatly, I am focused on my goals and I don't let mishaps stop me like they used to, Kenny has given me the tools to keep going even when it seems pointless to and he has helped me more than I had ever asked or imagined anyone would."
“Kenny is one of the greatest role models I've had in my life if not the greatest. He has helped me grow as a person and inspired me to do better."
“Working with Kenny for three months was amazing. He was patient and easy going. He taught me a lot about how to tackle certain aspects of life and how to overcome problems. The things he taught me has been able to help me now and will help me for years to come.”
"...I was able to talk freely to Kenny... my problems were considered and there was genuine care for me...was a great mentor who cared for me and talked to me like an experienced older brother."
"Kenny has been one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know and chatting with over the last 6 months. The insight and advice he has provided me with has been immense is shaping me from a boy to a man. I have learned so much from him and his experiences and would classify him as a close friend of mine and a brother. Kenny has provided me with so much knowledge and given me the strength to pursue my dreams and take control of my life and for that I cannot thank him enough."
I started my chats with Kenny some months ago to gain some direction with my career path, yet he afforded me so much more than that. “Take care of your gear and your gear will take care of you” is a quote Kenny would use which he learned from his Navy SEAL days. It translates to taking care of yourself and belongings to get the most reward out of them and one’s life as a whole. “Amor Fati” or “Love of Fate” is another important point we focused on in order to push me toward not taking life for granted and embracing every day as it comes. From the talks about nutrition and exercise to meditation and journaling in order to build up my self confidence, Kenny did a fantastic job in accommodating my needs. Kenny’s hardworking and relatable nature made him not only an excellent coach but also a role model. I would definitely recommend Kenny as a coach and mentor to other men of any age to help improve their lives."
"I’ve been going to a therapist for the last 2 years until I met Kenny and I can comfortably say that this has been a far more engaging experience. Firstly because I was able to get an insight from men who have lived through the struggles I have been facing and secondly because a companionship and understanding is formed from the first session where you don’t see this course as therapy, but a way to engage and understand experiences and learn lessons from other boys and men going through the same struggles in an attempt to better themselves."
"Kenny is so good, he opened my eyes to things I wouldn’t have never done like meditation. Whenever I had problems he would always help me reflect on what I could have done differently and strategies to overcome them. One of the most valuable things I will take from Kenny is, “don’t let your emotions/thoughts influence the way you react to a situation.” And you taught me that meditation makes you think clearly in heated moments and that. You’re just a very understanding and nice person in general and I’m so glad that you were my mentor. You helped me heaps and made me have a different perspective on things when they happened. Like “hey what’s the best thing to do in this situation”. Thank you Kenny I’m so grateful for you."
"Kenny helped me to pursue a healthier lifestyle and look for ways to spend my time more effectively. Over the weeks we looked at better food options, ways to improve during spare time and goals were set based on weaknesses that were identified."
"Working with Kenny for the last 12 weeks has really improved my knowledge in self development and making healthy habits to use to improve my daily life which will in turn help with my future. He was really enjoyable to work with and was good at teaching the importance of good habits to use in a routine which is improving my physical and mental health."
"The work with Kenny has been exceptional. I have learned so much with him inside and out which is key if you want to succeed. Kenny has had a lot of experiences in his life which makes him so powerful when it comes to these things."

-53, J.D.
I was looking for some tools that I could apply and a direction to take in my life to achieve the goals that I had set for myself.
I also needed feedback on the relationships around me and how I can better navigate those relationships with honor and integrity. I only had four sessions with Kenny and I'm more at peace, my anxiety has reduced considerably, and I love the person I see in the mirror.
With the changes I've made with Kenny's guidance, people are gravitating towards me and I feel comfortable and confident. I've implemented "less is more", listen more, talk less, positive self affirmation, and the stoic principles just to name a few.
Kenny also outlines a way of eating, workout recommendations and encouragement. He knows a strong mind has to be balanced out with a healthy body.
I highly recommend Kenny. Reach out to him and find out for yourself.
