About

My name is Peter Mak, and I’m the man behind Crossed Stakes. I’m a land surveyor from southwestern Ontario.

For years, I wasted my life and potential.

Weed, partying, casual hookups, shallow relationships—
I drifted through life without purpose or direction.

But through discipline, repentance, and the help of the Lord, I turned things around. I stopped chasing short-term pleasure and started building something real.

Today, I live with strength and structure. I train regularly, read often, and I'm active in the Orthodox Church.

Why Crossed Stakes Exists

This is a place for men who are ready to stop wasting time and start living with purpose.

It’s about more than just quitting bad habits.
It’s about building yourself—
Physically. Mentally. Spiritually.

You’re not weak. You’re just undisciplined.
But that can change.

Who Is This For?

This is for the man who’s been coasting for too long.
For the guy who wakes up knowing he’s not living right.
For the one who works hard—but still feels aimless.
For the man who who's sick of excuses and distractions.

Your time isn’t gone, but it is running out.
