From the Author

What a blessing to create this project with a dedicated and devoted staff over the course of the years in the Building Men Summer Institute. From the humble beginnings of a small class of 25 to many summers of multiple sites with over 150 young men, many staff have contributed to the creation of this student planning guide. Thank you to Tyler Eustace, Martin Pasternak, Sean Macmaster, Marty Clanton, and Rick Lefler who have taken this journey with me over the last seven years. A special thanks and love to my family that allowed me the space and provided me the love to work tirelessly over the summer to help many young men in their journey to manhood. Let's Go!
