On a mission to harness the transformative power of dogs to enhance human well-being.
Our Story
“How one dog started a movement”
Navigating the relentless pressures of a demanding career, the ceaseless buzz of a hyper-connected digital world, and the intricate dance of modern fatherhood can be overwhelmingly challenging. In the whirlwind of daily responsibilities and digital notifications clamoring for our attention, it’s alarmingly easy to neglect our own well-being. It took years of battling through the fog of stress and constant busyness to recognize that my own mental and physical health had deteriorated to a breaking point.
Amidst this chaos, my dog, Enzo emerged as a gateway to groundedness. Our walks became sacred rituals. With each mile, I shed the weight of expectations and found clarity. The simple act of walking together reconnected me with the natural world and opened up new conversations with strangers, turning everyday paths into journeys of recovery and discovery.
This personal transformation ignited a passion in me to understand the leading science behind health and happiness. The findings laid the groundwork for Life Is Golden.
I hope that our artwork spreads joy and that the platform can serve as a hub for connection, where community members share their stories and find inspiration in the journey of others.

Where it all began
Meet Enzo
Enzo is inspiration behind the Life Is Golden Company. When he's not training or doing nose work, you'll find Enzo on the trials, at Nantasket Beach, in his vintage cafe racer sidecar and hanging proudly out the back window of our 4Runner.
Fun Fact: Enzo has been known to run a 3 min mile and has been clocked @ 27mph

Our Core Principles
What Makes Life Golden
Exercise
Engaging in regular physical activity with our dogs not only promotes physical health but also strengthens our mental resilience.
Mindfulness
Dogs effortlessly model mindfulness, teaching us the art of presence and enhancing our appreciation for the simple joys in life.
Nature
Dogs reintroduce us to the grounding power of nature, allowing us to foster a deeper connection with the world around us.
Community
Dogs also play a pivotal role in expanding our sense of community, acting as bridges to meaningful relationships and shared experiences.
Purpose
Ultimately, the responsibility and joy of caring for a dog imbue our lives with a profound sense of purpose, enriching our pursuit of happiness.
