is passionate about truth that sets people free. Through TED Talking—his podcast and content platform—he hosts meaningful discussions that lead to encounters with the reality that transforms from the inside out and alleviates unnecessary suffering. As a life coach, personal trainer, nutrition coach, and prayer counselor in Austin, Texas, he helps others discover the freedom that comes from living authentically with God—body, mind, and spirit.

Theo's decade-plus journey with dogs includes ten years with three companions and now continues with Teddy, a rescued pit bull terrier. His soft spot for pit bulls runs deep, fueled by a conviction that the breed has been falsely demonized and a desire to reveal their true nature as devoted, affectionate souls.

Everything changed for Ted in 2002 when a life-changing encounter with Jesus began his passionate pursuit of living with God and making Him known—a pursuit that has shaped over two decades of study and ministry.

GOD. DOG.: The Divine Palindrome is his first book, born from the moment a church greeter confirmed what God had been whispering: that the palindrome itself preaches grace. It's perhaps no coincidence that a man with a trinity of names—Theodore (God-given), Theo (to his friends), and Ted (professionally)—found himself writing about a dog named Teddy. The palindrome runs deeper than anyone expected.
