I was slashed with a boxcutter on my face, was told I would be blind by 40 (now 53) and suffered from insomnia for over 30 years...
I have seen some shit.
But it forged in me this deep empathy, this drive to help people navigate their own personal war zones.
For over 33 years I have been a nurse, an ER nurse for 23 of those years in the trenches of New York City hospitals.
We're talking nights, we're talking chaos, we're talking every kind of trauma you can imagine (and some you probably can't).
Gunshot wounds, car accidents, overdoses, panic attacks – you name it, I've seen it.
Those years?
They weren't just about saving lives; they were about understanding the human spirit's incredible capacity to endure, to heal, to rise above.
But here's the thing: patching people up wasn't enough. I wanted to help them thrive, not just survive.
So, I dove headfirst into the world of personal training and fitness. For over 25 years, I've been guiding people to build strength, resilience, and confidence – not just in their bodies, but in their minds and spirits too.
Now, this is where things get really interesting.
I'm the co-creator of the Condor Approach, all about how to prepare for, navigate and integrate psychedelic, plant medicine and transformational experiences of all kinds.
It's cutting-edge, it's revolutionary, and it's changing lives.
After psychedelics changed my own life I began helping others navigate these spaces, leading trips to Peru with my partner and wife, Kole, and seeing that my whole life has led to this. The traumas, the dramas and who they would allow me to become to be the man that can serve you in the ways I can.
Oh, and did I mention I co-host the Psychedelic Coach Podcast? And that I've spoken on performed on stages all over the world? Yeah, I like to share the love (and the knowledge).
But here's the thing...
I'm not just a collection of titles and accomplishments.
I'm a real person, with a deep passion for helping others create lives of true fulfillment. I'm known for my epic hugs, my unwavering support, and my ability to create a safe space for my clients to confront their deepest challenges and step into their full potential.
Why No One Can Match My Experience
I've spent decades studying the human experience from all angles – the physical, the emotional, the spiritual. I've witnessed the impact of trauma and resilience firsthand, both in the ER and in the coaching room. I've helped thousands of people navigate their challenges and create lives of deeper meaning and connection.
My unique blend of experience as a nurse, personal trainer, psychedelic facilitator and coach gives me a holistic perspective that's unmatched in the industry.
I understand the intricate connections between the mind, body, and spirit, and I can help you integrate all aspects of your being to create lasting transformation.
