The Story
A book that cracked reality open. A career that looked right and felt hollow. Two years in rural Tanzania. A river that drowned me. What follows is the road that made the work.

2008
A book landed in my hands that forever shifted my perception of reality: “Many Lives, Many Masters” by Dr. Brian Weiss. It validated what I had always sensed, that life is more than it appears and from that point I began exploring consciousness, spirituality and the occult.
2012
I had just graduated at the top of my class with a master’s in business leadership. I was quickly climbing the corporate ladder and had everything you could want at 25 years old. But on the inside, I felt disconnection, directionless and empty. I knew there was something more than the life I was living.
2013
I came across the Peace Corps - a U.S. government program that sends American volunteers abroad to help developing communities. Ten months later I left my job to live and serve as a volunteer in the rural villages in Tanzania. There I reconnected with simplicity and silence, allowing me to not only help others, but forge a new path forward.
2014
On a trip to Zambia I was white water rafting and was ejected from the raft on a class five rapid where I lost consciousness and was brought back to life. That near-death experience was one of the many spiritual catalysts and initiations on my path. It not only gave me a new chance at life, but a deep insight into my journey forward sharing the power of breath with thousands.
2015
Returning back to my hometown after nearly two years of living in Africa, I fell into a six month depression where I questioned my entire life and identity. That breakdown became the foundation of the breakthrough into the next chapter of my path.
2016
I began traveling again, embarking on a half year backpacking trip through South America where I found myself in different villages and worked with medicine men and women in the Amazon. That same year I co-launched the launched The Soul In Wonder Podcast, interviewing teachers and healers from around the globe. At the same time I began my coaching and breathwork practice, helping others reconnect to themselves.
2019
My son was born in the fall of 2019 and this was a massive catalyst in so many ways. Although I felt an immense amount of added pressure to provide, ultimately fatherhood opened my heart, deepened my purpose and reminded me of the legacy I wanted to leave.
2020
One of my greatest visions was to revolutionize the wellness industry. For me that was bringing together the healing powers of breath and sound in an accessible and modern way for people to experience a greater sense of mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. This come to fruition in the summer of 2021 when Beats and Breath was created. Our app has since reached over 50,000 people worldwide.
2021
After attending many men’s circles and experiences I wanted to facilitate and create these spaces with others. Sean Graves and I teamed up to launch our first men’s retreat in Mexico and since then have created the Elemental Man Brotherhood and many other retreats around the world for men to heal themselves and transform their lives.
2024
I wrote and published my first book “Master Your Breath, Transform Your Life” in the fall of 2024 which has now reached thousands with one simple message: your breath is the most powerful tool you have for total transformation and is the gateway to your freedom.
Now
I continue to walk the path of service and evolution. Through coaching, writing, facilitating and speaking, I remain committed to empowering others on their path of awakening.
