A Word from Our Creative Partner

June has arrived, and with it, our annual "Gentlemen’s Issue." It’s an honor to step into the pages this month. As a partner at Perfect Moment Productions, I spend much of my time behind the scenes (and behind the mic) helping produce the Ogden City Lifestyle podcast. My job is to help tell the stories of this community. You can find them through our social media!

Speaking of stories, you might notice my photo this month features a rather unique companion—a pig! While he didn’t have much to say for the podcast, he certainly made the photoshoot memorable. It’s a great reminder of the diverse lives we share this valley with, and I want to give a special shout-out to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. If you’re looking to add a four-legged friend to your home or farm, there is no better place to find a new companion.

This month’s issue is packed with the kind of grit and heart that defines the men of Ogden. We dive into the "I Love You Bro Project," a vital movement focused on men’s mental health and the power of connection. We also showcase the phenomenal action photography of Nicholas Lazaroae, whose work on our cover perfectly captures the energy of our local culture.

Finally, as we approach Father’s Day, we celebrate both the Shelley and Williams families. Their stories remind us that while professional success is great, the legacy we leave at home is what truly matters.

To all the gentlemen featured in these pages and those reading them, thank you for being an integral part of this community. I hope you enjoy the issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

Priceless Memories

Advice Editorial: Gift Giving Inspiration For Dads

Learn Together

Learning a new skill together, or sharing a favorite hobby, is a great way to bond. If Dad likes woodworking or fishing, finding a class to attend together goes beyond gifting tools and allows fun.

Retro Movie Night

Enjoy a movie night together with popcorn, candy and all the fixings. Home movies enable strolls down memory lane, or one of his favorite movies from his childhood makes for fun conversation. Ordering a projector for a large format screening makes the movie night feel extra theatrical.

Chef’s Kiss

Take the food pressure off Dad and invite local culinary experts to prepare a meal. A fun theme, based around his favorite vacation, such as Hawaiian food, will make the evening memorable. Alternatively, try a local cooking class together based on his favorite cuisine.

Blast From The Past

Brainstorm childhood memories together and enjoy a day reliving them. If he chaperoned a trip to the zoo, experience it again together. If short on time, stop at a favorite ice cream stand and tell him how much you cherish the memories.

BEARING WITNESS

Nicholas Ioan Lazaroae (b. 1999) is an award-winning RomanianAmerican photographer based in Ogden. His work is held in private, public, and corporate collections across the U.S., including Park City and Ogden Valley in Utah, as well as internationally in Luxembourg and Romania.

Lazaroae’s practice serves as a means of introducing people to one another by bearing witness to the range of human experience and a changing planet. His work encourages viewers to ask questions that challenge their perceptions of photography, art, and the American experience.

Lazaroae moved to Ogden in 2021 and is an active member of the Northern Utah arts community. His work can be found in Eden at Ogden Valley Copy Art Gallery, as well as Gallery 25 in Ogden.

He is a resident artist at The Nature Conservancy’s Canyonlands Research Center in Canyonlands National Park as part of Fieldworks: Canyonlands through the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art.

His ongoing projects include Rodeo in the Rocky Mountains, The Architecture of Power, Great Salt Lake Bare: Climate Dispatches, Mystic Glyphs: Rock Art of Southern Utah, and Prehensile

Instruments: A Study of Human Agency, alongside efforts that give breadth and identity to the ordinary.

ARTIST STATEMENT

For the past six years, my artistic practice has been deeply rooted in photography, a medium that serves as a text for exploring and documenting the American experience through the act of bearing witness. I see my bodies of work—created with film and digital full-frame cameras—as grounded in compassion, dignity, and love for humanity and the planet. Each project is built on collaborative relationships with my subjects, supported by curiosity and joy and devoid of judgment.

My experience as a first-generation American, navigating questions of belonging and identity, directly informs my desire to explore the soul of our nation—found in its animals, architecture, landscapes, and people. My work serves as a starting point, sparking broader conversations that deepen connection and understanding in a time of increasing polarization.

Kindness Chronicles: I Love You, Bro

ONE EMBRACE SPARKED A MOVEMENT TO HELP BREAK THE SILENCE

A chance encounter atop a Utah overpass altered the trajectory of two strangers forever.

In 2022 Joe Tuia'ana, a local father on his way to a basketball game, came across a man in the midst of a mental health crisis. Rather than continue driving, he stopped, stepped out of his car, and approached him with open arms and a simple statement:

“I love you, bro!”

That moment of direct, unguarded human connection became the foundation of what is now the “I Love You, Bro” Project. A nonprofit focused on men’s mental health through structured peer support, data-informed programming, and community-based connection.

A CRISIS IN SILENCE

The statistics surrounding men’s mental health remain consistently stark. National data shows men remain significantly less likely to engage in traditional support systems.

Within Joe’s own collected data from program participants, a similar pattern emerges: only 8% report they would contact national crisis services, and just 13% would reach out to a partner during moments of acute distress.

Instead, two dominant themes appear repeatedly across thousands of responses: loneliness (70%) and shame (60%).

“These two things show up again and again,” Joe explains.

The two men who started it all, Aaron (left) and Joe (right), the original brothers of the I Love You Bro Project.

THE 2 AM BRO MODEL

Rather than relying solely on clinical pathways, the “I Love You, Bro” Project has built a network of weekly, structured, non-clinical support groups designed to create consistent access to connection.

The model is intentionally simple: the same time, the same place, every week— offering men a place to speak openly without judgment, correction, or expectation.

“We’re not therapists,” Joe says. “We’re just average Joe’s for average bros, creating a place where men can be real.”

Within these spaces, men are encouraged to acknowledge both progress and struggle—sometimes in ways they have never done publicly before. Wins can be as small as getting out of bed or as significant as rebuilding relationships.

The impact is measurable in behavioral shifts. While traditional crisis resources remain underutilized, 82% of participants report they would reach out to someone they met through the groups in a moment of need.

These relationships are referred to within the organization as “2 AM bros”— trusted connections that extend beyond the weekly meetings.

OGDEN SUPPORT GROUP

As awareness of men’s mental health continues to grow, the organization’s presence has expanded across Utah, including a weekly group in Ogden at the Youth Impact Center.

What began as a single group has grown into multiple weekly gatherings statewide, with continued expansion underway.

The local Ogden group meets every Monday at 7:30 pm near the 23rd Street corridor. Weekly meetings offer a consistent point of access for men seeking support and connection within their own community.

FROM CLINIC TO SUMMIT

THE POWER OF UNINTERRUPTED PRESENCE IN A DISTRACTED WORLD

Pediatrician Dr. Jonathan Williams of Ogden Clinic finds that working with children offers a daily reset that influences the way he approaches both medicine and life.

In his practice, children are a constant source of joy that makes it nearly impossible to stay in a bad mood. “You can try to be grouchy as a pediatrician, but then a four-year-old will say something funny or do something funny, and then you're back to enjoying your job because you're taking care of the best of us.”

The Williams Family

That steady stream of humor and honesty becomes its own kind of grounding force in a demanding profession. As he puts it, no matter how busy things get, “every day something or someone will put you in a good mood.”

Outside of the clinic, that same principle carries into his home life. For Dr. Williams and his family, hiking has become a shared language. What began as something they “fell into” has grown into a consistent way they connect, challenge one another, and spend meaningful time together. On the trail, Dr. Williams is intentional about what his family experiences. He often chooses “harder, longer, more challenging” routes—not for the destination alone, but for what happens along the way

The effort, he believes, is where growth and connection intersect. Even with his youngest, the expectation remains: the only direction is forward. In those moments, he sees many important life lessons unfolding in real time—resilience, patience, and persistence—learned step by step. Part of that experience comes from removing everyday distractions.

By spending time together “out of cell phone range,” he creates space for something increasingly rare: uninterrupted presence. It doesn’t take long on a hike before teenagers begin to share “real and actual things about their lives.”

Beyond the personal and family benefits, Dr. Williams also views time outdoors through the lens of his profession. As a pediatrician, he points to a growing body of evidence linking outdoor activity with improved mental health outcomes. Nature

acts as a preventative measure for many common struggles. “There’s growing medical evidence about outdoor time and its advantages for focus, anxiety, and depression. All sorts of mental health disorders may be prevented through outdoor exercise.”

When asked what advice he would give other fathers, Dr. Williams keeps it simple: presence matters more than perfection. He encourages parents to let go of the pressure around creating ideal quality time and instead focus on consistency in everyday moments. “Time. Whether it’s quality time or not. Whether you're just doing the dishes together or you're working on homework together. Just doing what you can to keep your phone in your pocket and to listen to what your kids are saying… I think it's truly important.”

In a world shaped by constant distraction, Dr. Williams offers a reminder that connection doesn’t require grandeur. Whether on a mountain trail or standing at the kitchen sink, the real luxury is presence itself—undivided, unhurried, and fully given.

Meet the Shelley Family!

Taking Care of Business At Home and on the Lawn

If you’re looking for a “bright spot” in Weber County, look no further than Brian and Tami Shelley. As the heart and soul behind The Poop Butler, this couple is turning their lifelong passion for pups into a vital community service.

The Shelleys’ story is one of enduring partnership—high school sweethearts who have been together for more than 35 years. Though they recently moved back to Ogden from West Valley City, they are no strangers to the area; both are proud alumni of Weber High School. Their deep roots in the community are matched only by the size of their family tree. With three sons, two daughters, four grandsons, and another grandbaby on the way, the Shelley household is a whirlwind of activity and affection.

At the center of it all are their four beloved Great Danes. Their status as avid dog lovers isn’t just a label—it’s the foundation of their business. Tami describes the

family as incredibly close-knit, noting that while Brian brings a lighthearted spirit and sense of fun to their daily lives, she serves as the organizer who keeps everything running smoothly. Brian, described by his daughter Becca as “very sweet,” is praised by Tami as a patient and involved father. In turn, Brian calls Tami the “glue” that holds their large, vibrant family together.

When they aren’t working, you’ll find the Shelley boys camping in the red rocks of Moab or the whole crew gathered around a table playing card games and cooking.

Since launching The Poop Butler, they’ve extended that same sense of family to every client’s backyard. Their commitment to animal welfare is reflected in their business model: Brian offers a special discount to anyone who adopts a dog through a shelter. Whether you need a cleaner yard or simply want to support a local family that truly cares, the Shelleys are a neighborly treasure.

AN EXCERPT FROM EPISODE 6 OF SHARE THE LIFESTYLE, A CITY LIFESTYLE PODCAST

Photographer: Brittany Dawn Short

Creative Director: Jen Birn

Stylist: Stephanie Coultress O’Neill

Location: Hotel Saint Cecilia, Austin, TX

MIKE JOHNSON HAS BUILT HIS LIFE AROUND ONE QUIETLY RADICAL IDEA: THE STANDARD YOU SET PRIVATELY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS.

After eight years in the Air Force, a celebrated run on national television, and a health crisis abroad that sent him deep into supply chains and ingredient certifications most founders never touch, the result is Oshun — a luxury ritual brand built on provenance you can trace and integrity you can verify. In an exclusive conversation for the Share the Lifestyle podcast, Mike shares what it actually takes to build something worth putting your name on. Read the highlights below, then scan the QR code for the full episode.

Q: YOU BECAME A FAN FAVORITE ON THE BACHELORETTE AND THEN LEFT THE SPOTLIGHT. YOU MOVED TO MEXICO, LEARNED SPANISH, THEN COSTA RICA, AND BUILT A COMPANY. WHAT DID THAT EXPERIENCE TEACH YOU ABOUT HUMAN BEHAVIOR?

A: “If you’re a good person going in, that shows. If you’re not, that shows too. I also learned that people form this parasocial relationship with you — they assume things about you. When all actuality, different circumstances bring out different parts of who you are. I was on TV trying to find love. The kindness people were showing after felt a bit fake, because they wanted to be a part of something that isn’t who I am individually, but a part of what they saw on TV. And so I had to get away from everybody and everything and the noise.”

THE QUIET STANDARD:

MIKE JOHNSON

“Too many people have prayed for me. So I’ve got to get up and do the walking.”
— Mike Johnson

Q: YOU JOINED THE AIR FORCE RIGHT OUT OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE. WHAT WERE YOU ACTUALLY RUNNING TOWARD?

A: “There was something in me that was saying: I’m not living up to my full potential. I was being a follower. My uncle said, ‘What’s going to make you become an adult the fastest?’ I said, obviously, the military. The Air Force broadened my thought process more than anything. We’re so caught up in our own perception — when you learn to understand different people’s perspectives, it adds to you in so many ways.”

Q: WITH OSHUN, YOU OWN YOUR MANUFACTURING, YOU EMPLOY A CHEMIST, EVERY PRODUCT HAS A BATCH NUMBER TRACEABLE TO ITS ORIGIN DATE. WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GO THAT DEEP WITH THE BRAND?

A: “The EU bans 1,100 ingredients in personal care products. The U.S. bans nine. That’s my starting point. Oftentimes, it might be the same ingredient, but it comes from a place where it doesn’t have the highest purity. And 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed. Every product Oshun makes carries a batch number that goes back to the exact day it was created — I can show you every single supplier, the date, the origin. I own more than one part of the supply chain because that’s the only way I can stand behind what’s in the bottle.”

This conversation is just the beginning. Mike goes deeper into why he’s buying land up north, the family in the Philippines who prayed over his factory floor, and what he’d tell every person ready to stop performing and start building.

Nice? Is Whiskey On Ice

In speaking to Whiskey lovers (most happen to be men, but do accept me in their brethren as a fellow enthusiast, writer, and educator), I’ve learned a great many opinions on how to drink Whiskey. Specifically, preferences on adding water and ice vary greatly.

A brand ambassador that I had the privilege of listening to recently said the obvious: both dilution and temperature change when you add ice, so if you are going to add something, a little water is best. I personally prefer to use a water dropper, so I can add one drop at a time until I get to the desired taste.

HERE ARE THE DIFFERENCES:

THE BEST WAY TO ENJOY YOUR WHISKEY: ON THE ROCKS, ROCK, NEAT, OR WITH WATER

Rocks: Provides the highest rate of dilution as a lot of ice melts quickly. If you are drinking a barrel proof Whiskey, it kind of defeats the purpose as the distiller didn’t add water as they do in every other type of finished Whiskey.

On the Rock: The single rock, cube, or sphere is the slowest to melt and thought to be the most aesthetic. It’s nice if you want to stretch out your tasting. I often order on the rock if I want my drink to last longer.

Neat: This is the way single malt Scotch is served at a tasting event, in a branded Glencairn or Neat glass so that proper nosing for aromas can be achieved - and a dram of Scotch, smaller than an ounce, fits in them perfectly.

Water: As I mentioned above, quoting the brand ambassador, a little water is better for a fine Whiskey over any kind of ice. Often, if ordered with water, the water is served in a separate vessel on the side so you can add in as much as you want.

Quoting another expert on the subject, Richard Paterson of The Dalmore famously and enthusiastically demonstrates in his Scotch classes how to drink single malt Scotch Whiskey: Paterson fills a lowball glass to the rim with ice, adds Scotch and then ceremoniously throws it over his shoulder onto the carpet of the classroom – because that much ice makes the drink worthless. One more quote, never “add green tea or milk to Whiskey. You can add a little water, but not a lot of ice.”

Ultimately, the reason we add ice can be for aesthetics, to stretch out the time spent on one glass, for cooling, and for dilution. However, the number one reason enthusiasts add water is … drumroll please … because adding a little water actually opens up a Whiskey to show more aromas and flavors.

SUMMER GRILL RECIPES

THESE DELICIOUS RECIPES ARE LIGHT, BRIGHT AND FEEL LIKE SUMMER

The sun has returned, and grilling season is upon us. With the nice weather comes vegetable gardens and fresh produce, along with the overwhelming desire to be outside as much as possible. We’ve compiled some fresh and light dishes that you can shop for at your local farmers market and whether you’re looking for a quick mid-week meal or something to grill for a crowd on the weekend these dishes won’t disappoint. These pair well together or can stand on their own!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2lbs. Outside skirt steak*

• 2 Tablespoons lime*

• 2 Tablespoons finely, chopped cilantro

• ¼ Cup olive oil or avocado oil

• ¼ White onion, finely chopped

• 1 Tablespoon cumin

• Salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Place skirt steak into gallon freezer bag

2. Combine all other ingredients in bowl and mix. Pour over steak and marinate for 3-4 hours or overnight in the fridge.

3. Bring skirt steak to room temperature by letting it sit out for one hour.

4. Get your grill hot on one side and medium on the other.

SIMPLE SKIRT STEAK

5. Once the grill is ready, wipe excess marinade off steak. Starting on the hot side, place skirt steak on grill for 2 minutes per side, attaining a nice sear.

6. Transfer steak to the cooler side of grill and cook until the internal temp is 130°. Let rest for 10 minutes (temp will rise while resting).

7. Carve and serve. This dish pairs well with beans and rice or served as tacos. Following is a chimichurri sauce that compliments it nicely.

*Outside skirt steak is a more tender cut than inside skirt steak, for this recipe outside skirt is recommended. Do not use too much lime as the citrus can cook the meat before putting it on the grill, resulting in a tougher texture.

CHIMICHURRI

INGREDIENTS:

• ½ Cup parsley, finely chopped

• ½ Cup cilantro, finely chopped

• 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar

• 3 Cloves garlic, minced

• 1 Red chili (whole or deseeded depending on desired level of heat)

• ½ Teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 Teaspoon salt

• 1 Tablespoon lime juice (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Combine all ingredients in a bowl. You can make this in the late morning and let it sit for around 4-6 hours, or you can make it the day before and let the flavors meld overnight in the fridge. Just be sure to take it out and get it to room temp before you serve it, as olive oil hardens in the fridge. Serve over skirt steak or tacos.

ROASTED CORN SALSA

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Ears sweet corn

• 10oz. Cherry tomatoes

• ¼ Cup lime juice

• 1 Finely chopped jalapeno or serrano (whole or deseeded depending on desired level of heat)

• ¼ Cup cilantro, finely chopped

• ½ Cup white onion, chopped

• 2 Cloves garlic, minced

• Salt to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. Grill corn, you do not need to soak the corn beforehand.

2. Place corn on the grill (inside their husks) over medium heat turning every few minutes.

3. After 10 to 12 minutes shuck the corn and put the cobs back on the grill for 2-4 minutes rotating frequently to achieve that charred look and flavor.

4. Cut the corn from the cob, place in bowl and add all other ingredients. Let the mixture meld for about an hour and serve with tortilla chips or as a taco garnish.
