About The American Family Standard
Empowering Families to Live Intentionally, Lead Boldly, and Thrive Together
The American Family Standard is more than a blog—it’s a movement, a mindset, and a trusted resource for modern families who want to raise the bar for how they live, lead, and love. In an age of noise, convenience, and digital overwhelm, we help families return to what truly matters: intentional living, strong family values, holistic health, and meaningful connection.
Whether you’re a parent navigating screen time, a father striving to lead with purpose, or a family longing for better routines and deeper relationships, you’re in the right place.
Our Mission
We exist to help families thrive—not just survive.
The American Family Standard equips families to live with purpose, resilience, and integrity—starting at home. We believe that strong families build strong communities, and that everyday choices around health, parenting, discipline, and values can shape generational change.
We’re here to raise the standard in:
- The food we eat
- The habits we build
- The homes we protect
- The way we lead

Our Story
The American Family Standard was founded by a military veteran, father of three, and lifelong student of personal growth and wellness. After years of high-stakes leadership in military service, I experienced the strain between service and presence—between providing and truly leading at home.
What started as a personal shift toward holistic living, digital boundaries, and family health became a calling to help others do the same. This blog is a platform for that mission—a space to help others protect their peace, strengthen their homes, and lead with intention.
My wife and I are building a future in Florida, where we hope to establish a real-world extension of this vision: a flower farm, family business, and intentional living space rooted in the same values you’ll find here.
