Dave Friend was shaped by South Florida grit—early mornings, manual labor, and the demand to show up sharp and dependable. He’s a husband, father, and high-level operator who co-owns a consulting firm managing luxury real estate developments. But none of that defines him. What defines him is his 4am disciplines, his unshakable faith, and his belief that men were never meant to coast.

For years, Dave carried the burden of vision for Abid3. What started as a whisper from God became a fire. He watched culture weaken men. Watched faith become passive. And he got tired of waiting for someone else to do something. So he built the thing no one else would. Abid3 isn’t just an idea—it’s his calling.

Ben Schenk’s life broke wide open nearly a decade ago when he first truly encountered God on the side of a Minnesota highway. God stepped in and changed his entire trajectory. That moment became his turning point. Since then, he’s rebuilt everything on a new foundation: Christ, truth, and discipline.

In addition to his work as a Landscape Architect at a local design firm in Jupiter, Florida, Ben also runs multiple businesses alongside his wife, including a boutique marketing studio that helps small business owners automate their sales process and a multi-family real estate acquisition company. With a background as a competitive track and field athlete, he trains like a man preparing for war. But behind it all is a fierce tenderness. He knows what it’s like to feel lost. And he knows what it takes to get back. Through Abid3, he teaches men how to steward their bodies, lead their homes, and honor God with everything they’ve got.

Dave and Ben aren’t influencers. They’re brothers who’ve lived the cost—and refuse to let other men walk alone. Abid3 was born from obedience. It exists to reforge biblical masculinity in a world that forgot what that means.
