Brothers on a mission

The challenges of young boys become the challenges of all of us

The concept of Building Men started in 2005 when as a middle school assistant principal Dennis recognized the struggles that the boys in his school were facing.   The young men were experiencing disciplinary incidents, suspensions, truancy, failing grades, retention and classification into special education at an alarming level when compared to their female counterparts.   

WHAT

create a better tomorrow 

Dennis used his background in adolescent development, sociology and mental health to develop the framework for a social group to address what it meant to be a man in society.  Anthony, being 14 years younger than Dennis, was introduced to Building Men at a young age and this movement became the catalyst that transformed him into the man he is today. Now Dennis and Anthony work with individuals, schools and organizations all over the country providing professional development, assembly programming, motivational speaking and life coaching..

How

Giving back

Dennis and Anthony specialize in helping individuals rebuild themselves after experiencing difficulties in life, such as the loss of a job, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression, mental and emotional barriers, and separation or divorce.
