In the past, I lived a “successful” outer life – combat helicopter pilot, entrepreneur, CEO, chairman, board member. But beneath the surface, something was stirring – something deep and often unclear – that eventually led me to stop.
Without fully understanding why, I found myself on a path of healing, growth, and rebuilding.
It became clear that I was living with undiagnosed PTSD that no longer allowed me to function. I broke into pieces and began the journey of putting myself back together – this time, from within.

​

But let me be clear: not everyone’s path looks like mine. Not everyone encounters trauma.
You don’t have to crash in order to begin the journey.
Sometimes it starts with a vague discomfort, a spark of curiosity, or a small question mark – and that alone is an invitation to change.
The very act of inquiry, when done with presence and courage, can begin to open doors.

Looking back, I devoted about seven years of my life to this inner journey.

It took me to ashrams in India, the jungles of Peru, the study and practice of meditation, mindfulness, psychedelics, Buddhism, and mysticism. I also pushed myself physically – through endurance sports and deep bodywork.
This exploration became a way of life. I discovered that the ability to truly listen inwardly is a key to living more fully.

I didn’t study psychology in academia – but I’ve studied, practiced, and gone deep with some of the most influential teachers in the world in the fields of trauma, mind-body connection, and deep healing.
I’ve lived it. I walk this path every day.

I’ve drawn wisdom from leading global teachers – through books, lectures, and healing modalities – and woven them into a practical, embodied path.
I’ve also learned profoundly from those who guided me personally – from PhDs in psychology to healers from outside the mainstream – and I’m deeply grateful for their wisdom, presence, and heart.​
