Founder / Philosopher / Catalyst
I'm a founder, philosopher, and consciousness explorer who helps people bridge the gap between spiritual wisdom and practical creation in the emerging Meaning Economy.
Born and raised in the wilderness of Alaska, my journey spans from award-winning entrepreneur and nightclub impresario to pioneering the first modern breathwork studio. That path eventually led to founding Ethr, a platform for nervous system regulation through active breathing. My philosophy of "Evolution by Intelligent Design" 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 practices with futurist thinking, exploring how presence, natural intelligence, and conscious creation 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 creativity is evolving beyond algorithmic demands toward meaning-centered work.
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 states of consciousness through practical techniques like active breathing and imagination.
