THIS IS NOT ONLY THE TITLE FOR OUR COVER STORY BUT ALSO A THEME THAT RELATES WELL TO FATHER’S DAY. As I reflect on the lessons I learned from my father, over the course of my life, I can see I’ve tried to emulate his loyalty, patience and kindness. Another lesson I learned from him is “don’t force it.” Whether it was building toy cars and planes or furniture at my first apartment, he would remind me that when we force something, we can be left unsatisfied with the outcome. I’ve applied these lessons in how I have approached my career and even in launching this magazine. Mason & Deerfield Lifestyle is committed to building long-lasting partnerships with our advertisers and community organizations. We strive to achieve this through a foundation of trust and enduring loyalty. Thank you, Dad, for paving a good path for me to follow. We are proud to showcase four local men who are leading by example to make

INTRODUCING THE FIRST-EVER LEXUS UX A NEW FRONTIER CALLS Our quests no longer lead to undiscovered lands. Today, a new frontier has risen. It calls for a new form of exploration.

That’s why the ﬁrst-ever Lexus UX was crafted with a 17.1-ft best-in-class turning radius,1 class-leading estimated 33 MPG1,2 and the latest technology, like Amazon Alexa3 compatibility and LSS+ 2.0,4 our most advanced safety system ever, included standard.

OHC BRINGS CAR-T THERAPY TO THE TRI-STATE The cancer experts at Oncology Hematology Care (OHC) are pleased to announce they are now offering Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy (CAR-T). OHC is the first in Greater Cincinnati to bring this revolutionary treatment to the region for adults with aggressive blood cancers, in partnership with the Blood Cancer Center at The Jewish HospitalMercy Health. OHC is also one of the few independent cancer practices in the U.S. to offer CAR-T. With CAR-T, doctors remove a patient’s immune system cells, modify them in a lab so they will recognize and kill cancer, and then infuse them back into the patient. The modified cells stay in the body, where they continue to multiply

PUSH PRESS: Hold the barbell at your shoulders with elbows forward and use a powerful drive in the legs to push the barbell up, with your arms locked out by your ears. This move develops core stability and works the shoulders and arms.

F R O N T S Q U AT: With a barbell, dumbbellsÂ or kettlebells, brace your core and move into the squat by breaking at the hips first, with knees tracking over the line of the toes. Elbows are up, and the weight is in your heels. This is a full-body workout; work to keep the torso upright.

BURPEE + BOX JUMP: Choose a box size that fits your jump. First, do a CrossFit Burpee (chest touches the floor), then jump so that both feet leave the floor at once and land on the box together. You can then step back down. This move combines aerobic movement, explosive power, abdominal workoutÂ and leg workout.

Jonathan started working at MCS in 2014 as the chief innovation officer, was named the superintendent by the School Board in late 2018 and just completed his first school year as the district’s CEO. His role is serving the students, staff and families of Mason. Jonathan and

Every now and then, we meet people who immediately get us focused on what’s important. Mike Kelly is one of those people. It makes sense because Mike is a productive guy. In addition to running his own businesses, he serves on the boards of Mars Hill University and the May Festival. He's also on the finance committee for Deerfield Township, he's a 20-year Rotary International member and a substitute teaching leader for an international bible study group. You may wonder how he finds the time, but getting people focused on their priorities is what he does. “I’m intellectually curious, but I’m also clear on my purpose and priorities. It makes it easier to know what to say yes to and what to say no to,” he says. Because Mike was a high-potential leader at both Michelin and Macy’s for more than 20 years, he experienced many facets of business and benefited from additional investment in his training and development. As an executive leader, he found himself coaching people and saw an opportunity to take his experiences outward. He now helps counsel others in “leadership skills, effectiveness, finding their purpose and achieving their God-given potential.” At Right Path Enterprises, he and his wife, Melinda, also work with leaders on life balance.

“I OFTEN THINK ABOUT LEGACY AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. IT’S IMPORTANT TO THINK BEYOND OUR OWN LIFETIMES.”

“We’re helping people develop plans and habits so they can spend time on the things that are really important to them,” Mike says.

David Charpentier believes the better you understand yourself, the better you can be in your work and relationships. It’s part of what he does as an executive coach and organizational development consultant with local company Conscious Dynamics, where his role is to help individuals and teams with their emotional and social intelligence and how their behavior affects the ways they lead, communicate and resolve conflict. He also understands from his own experience transitioning from serving in the military to the corporate world how people may struggle internally with different workplace dynamics. “Going from the military where I knew exactly what my daily routine was to starting a corporate job where I didn’t understand the titles, roles, shared purpose or mission was hard to navigate. The things you do don’t necessarily carry the same significance,” he says. “I don’t think I totally realized how difficult that transition really was.” To reconnect with fellow service members, he first got involved in nonprofits that provide veteran services. Then eight years ago, he joined the local American Legion Post #194 in Mason, where he found a sense of belonging, community and service. He eventually ran for the position of commander, after some urging. “I came to the realization that this was my opportunity to serve the organization and community. Being in the military is about serving.”

The FADE

+ hard part straight short

in between medium

thick + curly long

what it is There are many different types of fades, but ultimately a fade haircut is one that tapers in length the further down you go on the back and sides, meaning it isnâ€™t trimmed to just one standard length all around. The level of fade (low, mid or high) depends on what point the shortest part of the hair begins to fade into a longer length. ASK FOR Taper fade, low fade, mid fade, high fade or skin fade

The man bun + what it is This popular style is good for many types of hair as long as you have a lot of it. Youâ€™ll need length in the front, back and sides generally long enough to at least brush your shoulders. KEEP IT CLEAN Be sure to keep your sideburns and neckline trimmed even as your hair grows out.

straight short

in between medium

thick + curly long

The quiff

+ what it is Closely related to the pompadour, the quiff haircut requires longer hair in the front and shorter hair in the back. The longer hair in the front is brushed upward and back from the forehead and away from the face. This look can be sleek and shiny for a classic look or texturized and matte for a modern take. ASK FOR Short sides and a long textured top. Be sure enough hair is left on top to brush back instead of standing straight up.
