Mind Training Balance, LLC
Built for the ones who show up.
MTB4MENTALHEALTH is a South Florida business supporting first-responder mental health through movement, honest conversation, and a culture that makes room for the whole person.
Move with purpose.For firefighters, paramedics, and the people who stand beside them.
A way back, built on two wheels.
MTB4MH grew from a lifelong relationship with riding—and from the belief that first responders deserve room for the whole person.
Meet the founder
Firefighter/paramedic. Peer Support Coordinator. Lifelong rider.
MTB is built from lived experience, movement, and community.
I’ve been on two wheels since I was five years old—racing BMX by eleven, mountain biking by fourteen, and road riding by sixteen thanks to my godfather. Life pulled me away from cycling more than once, but it always pulled me back.
I’ve spent 20+ years as a firefighter/paramedic, and for the last decade I’ve done peer support work alongside it. I currently serve as my department’s Peer Support Coordinator, sitting with fellow first responders through the calls—and through everything that comes after, the part that never makes it into a report.
I went through my own hardest years too: a long, difficult chapter in my personal life that tested me alongside the weight the job puts on you.
What brought me back was a mountain bike. Getting back on the trails became the reset I didn’t know I needed. I started calling it “Shreditation,” because riding singletrack is meditation, whether you plan it that way or not. That idea grew into a racing team, a community, and eventually MTB4MH.
Today I’m rebuilding MTB4MH as what it was always meant to be: a real brand with a real mission—gear and community built for first responders, and for anyone looking for their own way back to balance, to community, to their people.

A different kind of support.
Practical, active, and rooted in the real lives of first responders. MTB is here to help make mental health part of the everyday conversation.
Our point of view
Strength is not only what you carry. It is also knowing when to put something down—and making space for someone else to do the same.
Movement matters.Physical activity can create an opening for connection, reflection, and a reset.
Community counts.We’re building around people who understand the call, the shift, and the return home.
Keep it human.No clinical language, no performance of perfection—just honest support and shared effort.
Purpose travels.We partner thoughtfully with causes and people who believe in showing up.
If you need it
You don't have to carry it alone.
The job can follow you home. Whether you want to talk with someone who gets it, find professional support, or just know what's out there, these are places to start.
These are independent organizations. MTB4MH isn't affiliated with them and doesn't provide crisis or clinical services. Check each one's site for current services and who's eligible.

For potential collaborators
Let’s build something useful.
MTB4MH is built to partner with organizations doing real work in first-responder mental health, wellness, and community. We’re currently in conversations about future collaborations.
When one is confirmed, we’ll design and produce a limited product with clear funding and visibility for the partner. The product page will state the fixed dollar amount from each sale and how it supports that mission—never a vague “portion of proceeds.” Names and details will be announced only after the partnership is confirmed.
