About ME

Hi, my name is Ray O’Connor, and I am genuinely glad you are here! 

I grew up on a sixth-generation farm in southeast South Dakota where I currently live with my wife and three children. As a child, I was raised in a good home wanting very little. I excelled in sports and eventually found myself competing at a top tier NCAA Division II wrestling program for five years of college.  

After graduating college, my wife and I moved back and forth between Sioux Falls, SD and Sioux City, IA where I built a successful career in the insurance industry and continued to operate our family farm. For several years, I lived the life that society portrays will make us happy. From the outside looking in, everything was great. However, inside those walls, rampant alcohol use led to extreme weight gain and negative health effects. Additionally, excessive use of pornography had become an extreme time drain and driven a wedge in my most important relationships. 

After years of abusing my addictions, I finally found myself at rock bottom. My life was a disaster and had fallen apart. However, the fortunate reality I know today is that rock bottom has a basement and no obstacle we face is too great.

When faced with the most difficult challenges in my life, I made the conscious decision to step up and have the best version of myself emerge on the other side. Today, I find myself having lost 75 lbs and just recently completed my first full marathon race in 4:37:55. More importantly, I am mentally stronger and possess more mental clarity than I ever have. I am truly living a life I did not know could exist, and I look forward to sharing my experience to help you find the same success!

Whether you are looking to break an addiction, get your health back or take your life to the next level, I would be absolutely honored to be a part of your journey. There is nothing in this world you cannot overcome.
