I'm a founder, writer, and storyteller who helps conscious creators integrate high-resolution insight into practical creation in the New Meaning Economy.

Born and raised in the wilderness of Alaska, my journey spans from award-winning nightclub and restaurant owner to founding the first modern breathwork studio. My domain-agnostic design philosophy, I call "Evolution by Intelligent Design" (ExID), emerged after a profound consciousness-expanding experience at age 27 that completely transformed my worldview and set me on a path of deeper inquiry.

My work integrates ancient wisdom with futurist thinking, exploring how universal intelligence and conscious design can shape both individual lives and collective futures. I'm currently writing The New Creator: Rise of the Mindful Artist in the New Meaning Economy, examining how the creative act is evolving beyond making things, to making things matter.

Drawing from diverse experiences—from wilderness survival encounters to philosophical discussions with some of the world's most celebrated thinkers—I offer a unique perspective on navigating life's paradoxes and accessing deeper and wider states of consciousness.
