The Rōnin Man Story

What Is a Rōnin?

A rōnin isn't just a man with no master. He's the man who mastered himself — his body, his mind, his fears. That's what sets him free.

I'm living it. From the trailer park in Arizona, to a surf kid in 1970s California. Left everything behind and moved to Tokyo in the bubble era. Taught English at top Tokyo schools, became a headhunter — interviewing and recruiting the most talented — then sold major corporate real estate in Tokyo. Life was wild, money flowing everywhere. Took a break and crossed India on a Royal Enfield. Later I moved to China and built successful companies in Shanghai. Started fresh when I moved to Thailand — and that was the birth of Rōnin Man. Now I'm in my sixties, and having a real good time.

Taking everything I've lived, learned, and built — and showing the next guy how to do it too.

Join me on a Summit adventure, and work one-on-one with me to become truly Unblackmailable.

Two Doors. One Path.

The Adventure Starts Here

From here, two doors. Behind one: a summit, a small band of good men, somewhere worth the flight. Behind the other: one-on-one work with me, your real life on the table. Both lead to the same place — you, in command of your life. The men who walk through both go furthest.

DOOR ONE — THE DEEP WORK

Become Unblackmailable

One-on-one with me.

No script. No cookie-cutter program. Your real life on the table, and a path we build together — until the debt, the habits, and the fear answer to you. One payment, lifetime access, a few serious men at a time.

Work With Me → Serious men only. You're in the moment you join. DOOR TWO — THE ADVENTURE

Rōnin Summits

Small-group adventures — Japan, Thailand, Indonesia.

A few days with good men in the places that made me. We climb, we swim, we eat like kings, we talk straight. We have a rule at the summits: the best idea wins. You arrive as strangers. You leave as brothers.

Explore the Summits → A few men. A few times a year. That's the truth, not a tactic.

The doors aren't rivals. Summit plus one-on-one is the greatest transformation I know how to give — ask any man who's done both. You'll meet one further down this page.

From the Men

Clinton — Austin Summit 2026

Clinton's Testimonial 0:00 / 1:54

"I've been following Rōnin Man for eight years. I always wanted to go to the summits, but I was like, I don't have the time, I don't have the money, I can learn everything on YouTube. I finally decided I'm going to the Austin summit. It changed my whole perspective on life.

When you're surrounded by a group of men who have the same vision you have, but they come from all different walks of life, you see how real it is. If they can do it, I can do it. I see it, I feel it, I'm in it.

When I went back home I was way out of shape, over 40 pounds overweight. Since the Austin summit I lost over 40 pounds. I'm the thinnest I've been since high school. Now I'm joining Unblackmailable to take it to the next level.

If you've been listening to Rōnin for all these years, come to a summit. Come to a summit. It is worth every penny, and you will meet people that will be friends for life. You will not regret it."

Fox — Unblackmailable, Multiple Summits

"Ronin's the one who got me into surfing and taught me to be a waterman. His mentorship, the summits and Unblackmailable program — they genuinely changed my life. Helped me overcome my own limitations, heal and let go of the pain of being unwanted and disowned by my own family. Now I'm living the best life, traveling the world, hanging with the coolest friends and having a real good time too."

— FOX

Sky — Multiple Summits: Austin, Los Angeles, Bangkok, Tokyo

"Less than six months after I moved to Austin, you did a summit here. It just started opening doors. A lot of the most important relationships in my life now trace back to you: I met this person, and through that person I met this person. I went to a bunch of summits, and all of it was super, super valuable.

You learn from who you're around. Being around people who are living the life you want to live is amazing. I'm super grateful, man."

Questions Men Actually Ask

What is Rōnin Man?

Rōnin Man (people also write Ronin Man) is my community for men who want to master themselves: body, mind, money. I'm Rōnin, in my sixties, started over four times, still living it. Three ways in: my letters from the road (free), small-group summits in places like Japan and Thailand, and one-on-one mentorship I call Become Unblackmailable. Not therapy. Not a hustle course. A crew of men getting better, with a man who has done it.

Am I too old for this?

I'm in my 60s and I'll probably out-hike you. If you can walk and you're willing, you're young enough. If you think it's too late — you're exactly who this is for.

Is this therapy or a feelings circle?

No. It's adventure with honest talk built in — we climb, we swim, we eat like kings, and real conversation shows up on its own. Nobody makes you share anything.

Do I need to be in great shape?

No — willing beats fit. Every summit has men at every level. Come as you are; the shape follows the decision.

What does it cost?

You'll know every number before you commit a cent — summit details when you say you're in, coaching when we talk. We run a small crew with no fat overhead, so the prices stay fair. No games, no surprises.

What will my wife or partner think?

Show her the free video — it's about building a relationship that lasts. This work makes you easier to live with: more patient, more present, more alive. That's the point.
