Temple Fuel began in 2025 with a simple realization: I wasn't taking care of my body the way I should.
I was overweight, out of shape, and not getting enough fruits and vegetables in my diet. Like many people, I knew what I needed to do, but making those changes felt overwhelming. That's when I decided to simply start where I was.
I began experimenting with fresh juices in my kitchen, looking for a practical way to get more nutrition into my daily routine. After plenty of trial and error, I created what would become Temple Fuel's first signature juice: Green Fusion.
Now, Green Fusion had one problem—it looked like something you might scoop out of a pond.
People gave me plenty of funny looks. Some thought I had bottled liquid grass. Others looked at it like I was trying to sell freshly mowed lawn clippings. But then they tasted it... and suddenly nobody cared what color it was. People loved it, and before long they were asking for more.
What started as a personal health journey became a mission.
I couldn't do it alone. My wife, and our three daughters have supported me every step of the way. Their encouragement, belief, and willingness to be part of this journey have helped make Temple Fuel what it is today.
The name Temple Fuel comes from our belief that our bodies are temples entrusted to us by God. We are a Christ-centered business that believes caring for our health is one way we honor Him. Our faith guides everything we do, and we strive to serve others with integrity, love, and purpose.
One message you'll hear often from us is:
Start Where You Are.
You don't have to be perfect to begin. Whether you're improving your health, growing in your faith, pursuing a dream, or overcoming obstacles, meaningful change starts with taking the first step.
Temple Fuel is about more than juice. Our long-term vision is to build a Christ-centered community center right here in Wichita—the city that raised me and the community I'm proud to call home.
We want to create a place that provides encouragement, mentorship, health and wellness resources, youth programs, community events, and opportunities for spiritual growth. A place where people can find support, build relationships, and grow stronger together.
What started as one man trying to eat more fruits and vegetables has become a mission to fuel the body, encourage the spirit, invest in our community, and glorify God every step of the way.
Fuel the Body. Encourage the Spirit. Honor God.
