Welcome - C'mon in & have a seat.

Hi, I’m Jason. I’m a father, psychologist, storyteller and the founder of JourneyMen. For over 30 years, I’ve been working with boys, men and families to help them find connection, presence and courage in a world that too often tells us to “go it alone.”

I began my career working with boys whom the system had written off. They were called too much - too angry, too loud, too disruptive. What I saw were kids carrying stories of hurt and isolation and misunderstanding. I learned quickly that healing didn’t happen in a sterile office. It happened in connection, in community, in adventure. Over time, I realized that men were hurting as much as boys. We’re all just grown up, big kids right? And when I became a father, I shifted my focus. I wanted to, I needed to pour my ‘kid energy’ into my own two sons - and into helping fathers like me. That’s when I discovered my true passion: supporting men in fatherhood. Because when dads become more connected, present, and grounded, everyone benefits - their kids, their partners, and our communities. Connected fathers can change the world.
Fatherhood is a grand adventure - JourneyMen helps you get there!

Why JourneyMen Exists

Men’s roles and expectations have shifted, and the old maps don’t work anymore. Too many dads feel pressure to perform, to bottle things up, or to just “figure shit out.” The result? Frustrations, distance, and missing out on the moments that matter most.

JourneyMen is my answer to that. It’s not therapy in a chair behind a closed door. It’s a living, breathing journey. Through the Mug Club, individual coaching and workshops/speaking, JourneyMen brings men & fathers together to share stories, learn practical tools, and build the kind of presence and grit that makes family life meaningful. Around our tables, at JourneyMen gatherings, dads don’t just talk about change - they walk their own paths, together.
The path of Fatherhood is challenging, c'mon in to the Inn and get nourished!

A few more tidbits about me.

When I’m not coaching or leading groups, you’ll probably find me:

🍽️Cooking big meals for family and friends (I love experimenting with fermentation, fire and food traditions.)

📖Diving into epic stories like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, the MCU, or anything with a good Trickster tale.

🌄Exploring the outdoors - camping, fishing, running trails, gardening & working in our yard, or just soaking in the fresh air.

🎶Listening to music (it’s always playing in my home, my car, or in my head.)

💬Gathering people - around a table, a campfire, or just for the sake of connection.


I’m playful and warm, fueled by metaphors, dad jokes and good conversation. I believe in questioning the status quo, embracing contradictions, and creating spaces where men feel welcome to show up as they truly are.

I hope that you'll accept my invitation to learn more and have a seat at our table!
warmly, 
Jason


An Invitation

If you’re ready to connect with other fathers, sharpen your tools, and step into the story that you were meant to live, I’d love to walk alongside you.

Fatherhood is the greatest adventure. None of us were meant to travel it alone. My hope is that JourneyMen feels like a welcoming inn on your path: a place to rest, learn, laugh and leave a little stronger than when you arrived.

A connected home, driven by a connected father.

More from the JourneyMen

I feel calmer and more present in everything I do.

Paul

Overall, I feel calmer and more present in everything I do. I have learned to live with my challenges and obstacles. I have up-leveled my character and found ways to actively live in that mindset. I am excited and committed to continue using the tools and actions that I have developed. I’m also excited to see how I can continue to grow as a man, father, and husband.

I now have more tools in my bag.

James

I knew there were things I wanted to be doing differently. Much of the process helped me to find direction. The surprise was that the program provided me with an empathy towards my own father and I have turned a lot of my negative feelings towards him into positive ones. I now have more tools in my bag for maintaining positive relationships.

I'm more aware and can intentionally change course.

Mike

Recognizing and acknowledging my struggles and challenges were the most impactful aspects. I have gained an awareness in the moment, allowing me to intentionally change course. I'm excited to see where my new skills take me, and what the next journey will bring!
