My professional journey across three continents has involved launching and leading five VC/Impact-funded startups dedicated to technological innovation, social responsibility, and environmental sustainability. I specialize in early-stage business strategy and have raised over $15 million USD for cutting-edge business models.At The Synthesis Institute, which I co-founded and where I served as Director of Business Development, I spearheaded the development of one of the world's initial legal psychedelic service models. This groundbreaking initiative supported over 1,000 individuals in their mental health journeys until its closure in 2023. Additionally, my role in Oregon included contributions to the state’s landmark psilocybin legalization efforts, serving with the Oregon Psilocybin Training Alliance (OPTA) and on various Rule Advisory Committees for the Oregon Health Authority.Currently, I am leading the development of Confluence Retreats, a project under the Hi-U Foundation. This initiative seeks to integrate nature-based, multi-day psilocybin retreat experiences into Oregon’s innovative legal framework, collaborating with indigenous communities to restore ancient healing practices to the Cascade Siskiyou National Monument. I also serve on the Advisory Board of Omnia Group Ashland, one of Oregon's premier licensed psilocybin service centers.
