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.

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.

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

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."

Questions Men Actually Ask

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.
