Why "Against the Grain"
Nobody's path
is a straight line.
By day I work in hardwood flooring, so the name started as a bit of a pun. But it fits. I'm a husband and a father of four, a coach, a competitor, and a man of faith, and most of the best lessons in my life came the hard way, against the grain.
Every guest brings a different walk of life. Some of them I've worked for, trained with, or rolled with on the mat. At least one of them has fired me. All of them have a story worth hearing.
"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another."Proverbs 27:17
