I’ve had a somewhat unconventional life.

I’ve been a combat medic, sniper, private contractor, entrepreneur, investor, technologist, visual storyteller, and—eventually—a performance coach. I’ve also spent a lot of time on yoga mats, jiu jitsu mats, and surfboards, which may be three very different places to learn essentially the same lesson: you can’t control everything that happens, but you can learn how to respond.

Along the way, I’ve learned that most of us are carrying around a story about who we are, what we’re capable of, and how we’re supposed to show up in the world.

Sometimes that story is useful.

Sometimes… not so much.

My own path led me into yoga, meditation, breathwork, contemplative practices, and a deeper curiosity about the relationship between the body, mind, nervous system, and the stories we tell ourselves. Jiu jitsu taught me to stay curious when things get uncomfortable. Surfing taught me that fighting the ocean is usually a terrible strategy. And life has provided plenty of opportunities to practice both lessons.

These experiences have also taught me that healing and performance aren’t as far apart as they might seem. Both ask us to pay attention, get curious, adapt, and sometimes rewrite the script.

Today, my work lives at the intersection of human experience, storytelling, visual communication, technology, and wellbeing.

I work with people and organizations to explore the stories that shape how they think, perform, heal, connect, and communicate—and to turn those stories into something more useful.

Because your story matters.

And if the one you’re telling isn’t serving you anymore, you’re allowed to write a better one.
