Was Temptation Island Worth It?

I’ve made a lot of mistakes in life, but visiting Temptation Island isn’t one of them.

I walked into that experience not knowing what to expect, and I left completely changed. For the first time, I had to face myself, my choices, my flaws, and the parts of me I might had been hiding from. I was my most vulnerable, unfiltered self, and while I didn’t always know the direction I was going, I know now that it was exactly what I needed. The Island didn’t break me, it rebuilt me!

I didn’t plan on going to Temptation Island, but I truly believe I was meant to. It forced me to grow into the man I am today; a man with purpose, direction, and a real reason to wake up every morning ready to build something bigger than myself.

So was it worth it? YES!

Where am I now?

Since then, I’ve been pouring myself into the things that truly matter. I’m building a future I’m proud of, being the best father I can be, and finding ways to actually make an impact. One of those ways has been through Amora Beachwear, a brand I started with my 6-year-old daughter that means a hell of a lot more to me than just swimwear. With every purchase, we give back. We’ve partnered with BetterHelp to support mental health for parents and Blessings in a Backpack to help feed kids in the US who can’t afford meals outside of school lunches.

This is just one of the many things I’ve been working on, but it’s given me a real sense of purpose. Not only that, but it gives something for my daughter and I to bond over.

What’s Next?

I’ve learned a lot about myself over the past year. What I stand for, what I want to build, and where I want to go from here. Now, it’s about taking all of that growth and turning it into something bigger.

I’m going to continue building Amora Beachwear with my daughter and using it as a way to give back, create real impact, and inspire connections between parents and their kids. That mission won’t change—it will only grow.

Beyond that, my focus is on collaborating with brands that align with my lifestyle, values, and audience. I want to work with companies that stand for something—whether that’s adventure, fitness, wellness, fatherhood, or giving back. I’m all about authenticity, and I’ll only partner with brands I truly believe in.

I also plan to keep pushing my limits, whether that’s through business, fitness, or new experiences that challenge me. I want to inspire people to go after what they want, to get outside, to live life fully, and to give back along the way.
