Helping dads 10x their grit so they can grow it in their kids | Dad of 4 with dwarfism | Motivational Speaker | Software Engineer Turned Product Manager | Overcoming odds | Inspiring the world.

👋 Hi, my name is Kris. 

I am 4’5’’ tall, and was born with dwarfism.

Doctors told my parents I would never make it.

After I survived, doctors then told my mom to place me into an institution because I’d never walk, talk, or live a “normal” life.

As you are figuring out, it didn’t turn out that way.

“Challenge accepted” has been my mantra.

So has a faith in God and His ability to help me through anything.

That has led me to …

→ Recovering from 20+ surgeries all under the age of 20
→ Graduating high school in 2001
→ Going to college
→ Teaching myself how to design, code and media production
→ Starting multiple small businesses
→ Building a career in tech as a developer and now a product manager
→ Getting married
→ Having 4 kids, 2 with dwarfism

Maybe the doctors were right about one thing, after all.

My life is far from “normal”.

And I am 💯 percent here for it.

You might say I have quite the story.

So do you.

That’s why earlier this year I decided to start sharing my story via #linkedin, one-on-one conversations, and public speaking.

Not for my own gain, but to inspire you to face and share your own stories.

Because that’s the first step to building self-confidence and the life you want.

If you like what you’re reading, be sure to follow and even drop me a DM.

Hope this encourages you to push through whatever you are facing right now.

Performance Coach For Your Brain | Helping You Take Action, Gain Clarity, and Optimize Mental, Emotional, and Physical Performance through 1:1 Coaching

If you don’t feel like you are performing at your best and are looking to take you life to the next level, the solution isn’t as complicated as you may think. Let’s see how…

Make small changes over time that build a life of intention and purpose.


This seems difficult because most of us are stuck in the modern digital era where everything must happen quickly and right away. That we must hustle constantly…

Society has taught you the wrong things though…
Society makes you believe we only have time for work.
Society makes you believe success is a full bank account.
Society makes you believe we have no time for what matters.

This is what society will have you believe LIFE is really about. This is WRONG!



You need to shift your thoughts to what Life is TRULY about.

Life is about connecting with Nature.
Life is about spending time with family.
Life is about building strong relationships.
Life is about physical and mental well-being.

This is where you NEED to focus your time and attention.

Changing your perspective / mindset, learning to reshape your thoughts / actions, and creating consistent small habits that will build momentum is how you LEVEL UP!



My name is Bryan Sagray, and I’m a High Performance Personal Coach for people ready to transform their life to live EVERY single day with intention AND purpose!

Being a spouse, leader, entrepreneur, foot & ankle surgeon, friend, and endurance athlete with a degree in nutrition, I have experienced first hand the struggle of life.

I’ve been through burnout, hardship, & failure over my long career. Learning who I am is what transformed my life mission to be one focused on intention & purpose.

Uncover the simple daily habits my clients use to create intention, develop a real purpose, improve consistency, reclaim time for what matters most, and build better relationships with family, friends, & colleagues! SMALL changes for larger impact!


During this 1:1 call, I’ll personally help you:
Recognize your current situation
Identify your ideal life forward
Develop a personalized plan
Layout how we can work 1:1 to create small habit changes to live a life of intention and purpose.
