The Backstory
"My greatest passion is understanding the nature of reality — how the mind works, what generates our perception of experience, and what becomes possible when we consciously rewrite it."
My life has been an interesting balance between achieving "success" in both material and spiritual worlds.
In 2013, after my first trip to India I came back and dropped out of college (pre-med/neuroscience), taught myself to code, and landed a six-figure software engineering role in San Francisco a year later. The year after that I accidentally started a global movement that made me famous in the tech industry overnight — speaking at NASA, the Clinton Foundation, SXSW, and Grace Hopper in front of 6,000 people. Simultaneously I fell in love with dance and circus arts and began performing professionally with Vau de Vire — the #1 circus I had always dreamed of performing with.
In 2018, at the pinnacle of my tech career, the death of my beloved cat triggered a massive spiritual awakening which led to giving away most of my belongings, leaving on a one-way flight to travel the world, and essentially devoting my entire life to the path of spiritual realisation. This took me deep into plant medicine, and I spent the next four years supporting 100+ ayahuasca ceremonies all over the world as a musician and facilitator.
In 2020 I ended up stranded in Peru during COVID, which led me to founding Moon Rising — a luxury artisanal fashion company created in collaboration with native Peruvian artisans impacted by the lockdowns. I designed the pieces, built the supply chain, and led all creative direction and business strategy. We doubled revenue each year and in 2023 reached $550k+ in sales. Our signature capes have since become a staple in the global conscious community.
Despite the success of Moon Rising, it became very clear that my highest dharma and greatest sense of personal fulfillment is supporting people in deep transformation. My life has been simultaneously incredibly blessed and incredibly challenging. I have had a front row seat to my own healing journey over the last 17 years — overcoming significant trauma from my teenage years — and I am a living testament to how effective this work truly is. I have personally lived through unspeakable experiences, and successfully leveraged every single ounce of them towards profound evolution and the embodied, integrated version of myself that I am today.
The inner work has been the most demanding and most rewarding laboratory I have ever worked in. Many years of two to six hours of daily sadhana. Drinking ayahuasca in the Amazon jungle. Meditating with monks in the Himalayas. I have gone to the places — inner and outer — that most people have only read about, and I have come back with well-earned clarity about the science of inner transformation that I am deeply honored to share with you.
What inspires me
What is the nature of reality?
This is a question that the ancient masters in many world traditions have tried to answer and ultimately is what draws me to incessantly study the philosophical systems they left behind.
How does the mind construct our experience?
Ultimately, the yogis knew that the world was a lot more than what we perceived it to be. They understood that everything is generated by mind — which is what modern neuroscience is now catching up to understand.
What does it mean to be most fully alive?
We're here in physical bodies having a human experience for a reason. Each person has a unique dharma to fulfill based on the nature of each person's natal chart.
How can we truly optimize our potential and make the most out of our human experience?
When you realize how rare it is to be born into a human body out of the billions of types of organisms that exist in the universe, every minute becomes so much more precious. I am here to make the most out of every moment that I have towards the evolution of my soul.
