About

Yes, I ran an ultramarathon with no training. And yes, I backpacked Europe for a month 7 days after my Mom passed away (a mentor fully funded me to go.)

Sooooo… my story right? 

In 2020, I had it all: A full-ride scholarship, my own podcast interviewing millionaires, a Man of the Year Nominee, a 4.3 GPA, and the pretty girlfriend. 

And as you could guess, I really had nothing. 2021 came and I began to cry myself to sleep. And I’d wake up, but couldn’t get out of bed. 

Months went by living like this. I tried therapy, lifting my problems away, and journaling but none of it worked. The two things that kept me alive: a 10-minute YouTube breathwork video and cold showers. Until I finally snapped. In March of 2021, I told my brother that I had thoughts of taking my life. Two days after I told my brother that, our Mom was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.

Everything changed in that moment. 

In 2022, I started taking my breathwork and cold showers more seriously because I had to. I was deeply struggling with Mom’s diagnosis. I upgraded to a DIY cold plunge (a chest freezer with duct tape and tarp everywhere). I began doing breathwork for 20-30 minutes every day. 

In 2023, people began to ask more about the breath and cold plunge. So I’d invite them over, facilitate breathwork (the technique I learned from the 10-min Youtube), and they’d hop in my chest freezer. Some people never experienced cold water and would freak out, so I’d coach them through it. 

I’d see something beautiful happen in those moments: Possibility. Something would unlock in their brain. Fear would occur before stepping in the cold plunge. But then, once they submerged and focused on the breath, something would light up in their eyes. 

In July of 2023, Mom passed away. She gifted us 18 beautiful months, answered every question and it was the most painfully beautiful experience I’ve ever been a part of. 

In 2024, I got fully certified as a breathwork facilitator, graduated college,  took all of my money, and bought a real cold plunge. I’ve facilitated all over the world from Italy, Portugal, and back in the States. 

I facilitate because this is what saved my life. And I have a responsibility and duty to bring this work to as many humans as possible. 

I work with clients who have been going right their whole life and feel a tug left. I work with people who have dream careers, families, and houses, but still feel empty inside. I work with people who numbed themselves for years and are looking to reinvent themselves.

That’s just a little bit of my story. A sliver in the pie. I write a blog and post a lot on social media. I also do speaking engagements for schools, companies, and retreats.
