The reason for Authentc Men is simple: We help men unlock their masculine power. We do this alongside other men, because we believe that when one man works, we all work. 

Our Mission

At Authentc Men we connect men. To themselves. To each other. To the world. We guide men to achieve true masculine strength through openness, assertive vulnerability, honest communication, and genuine connection. These become the pillars of their best life as they engage in their careers, family life, relationships, and communities. We believe that the Authentc Man is deserving of walking this path. We believe that every man has the capacity to be an Authentc Man.

“Men in today’s society are struggling. We are struggling with societal pressures, a changing economy, relationship issues, a lack of friendships, and loneliness all of which can lead to - addiction, mental health issues, and failed relationships.”

We aim to change that. 

The Ideal of Modern Masculinity

What does it mean to be a man? 

One of the major flaws in men’s upbringing is the lack of example of embodied masculinity. The old paradigm of men being “lone wolves”, stoic, conquering, and dominant is outdated and dangerous. It has led to increased rates of unhealthy relationships, isolation, loneliness, and suicide.

This is the opportunity we embrace. We give men the skills and structure to grow and expand their definitions of masculine leadership. By giving men powerful examples and tools, they are able to embody their full potential and power.

We offer a new way. A way that enables all men to live happy, open, emotionally successful lives as leaders, fathers, sons, partners, husbands, and friends.

A way to live authentically.

Our Founders

The co-founders of Authentc Men, Phillip, Tom, and Dan, have been on a path of personal development for decades. They met at a men’s retreat, the first one any of them attended. Their initial shared awareness and connection was a desire to serve others, specifically men. They have all experienced firsthand the profound improvements that men’s work plays in their lives, and they want to guide other men to - and through - this work.

Meet Phillip

Phillip has an exceptional reputation as a successful business leader, owning, operating, and scaling public and private manufacturing businesses over the last 30 years.  His skills as an expert negotiator that sees potential where others cannot, makes him a natural fit in the competitive New York marketplace. His mantra and ethos is to bring authenticity to every interaction, and he engages current and potential clients with a personal approach. “My overwhelming desire and goal is to be in a position to help people improve the quality of their lives through a Holistic connection between their environment and their lifestyle”. Committed lifelong fitness lifestyle including twelve years’ experience as a Cross Fit athlete, a lifelong runner, weightlifter both competitively and recreationally, and a nutrition expert for performance maximization in athletics.

Meet Tom

Tom has worked in the public service and education sector for the past 35 years. As a social worker, counselor and community change agent, He has first-hand knowledge about how relationships truly can change communities and therefore the lives of people. His work in Higher Education for the past 20 years has shown him how men are showing up in the community.  Many are trying to make their environment work for them in isolation and as a result often find themselves feeling lost and disconnected with limited support. Men are being told that the world is at their finger tips, but are faced with a world of competition where success is defined in a limited way. He is committed to assisting men to find a better way to build a community that helps them connect not only with each other but in life.

Dan Authentc Men

Meet Dan

After initially obtaining his masters degree in social work to help others, Dan became frustrated with a feeling of “something” missing. For the past 11 years, Dan has been on a journey of figuring out exactly how to make maximum positive impact on the world through working with people. He has worked in corporate America, started numerous businesses, and worked with various startups in the mental health/coaching industry. He has since become a certified life and business coach, working with executives from companies such as Mattel, DriveTime, Finish Line, and more. Personally, Dan has experienced hardships such as divorce, financial insecurity, addiction, and more which have shaped his approach both in his life and how he wants to support men in it. Without the strength he has gained from a supportive community of men and men’s work, which helped him in unlocking his own masculine power, he would not be here today.
