The world needs healing.
We all have a role to play.

I was born on the Island of Long and raised in white trash upstate New York on a dairy farm, where there wasn’t much to do but drink, do drugs, and practice making babies. My father was violent, chaos was normal, and I got arrested the day after I turned 13—I was in the system. I had to get creative with what I put in my body to escape the “noise,” nothing that showed up on a UA. That’s where psychedelics first entered the picture. They cracked something open early—the knowing that we’re all part of an interwoven collective consciousness, a mycelium network.

I carried that into New York City, then Los Angeles, where I fell in love with acting and built a career in hospitality, helping launch multiple celebrity liquor brands—two becoming the most successful spirits launches in history. On paper, I was succeeding. Then I found my best friend hanging from a rafter in his garage. Alcohol and prescription medication were the only tools I had. I spent the next decade in a slow suicide until my body began to shut down, losing many close friends to unresolved trauma and untreated alcoholism along the way.

I got sober at 37 with the desperation of a drowning man and threw myself into a program of recovery and helping others do the same. It gave me access to something real, and I learned to trust that intuitive direction. That instinct pulled me out of LA and led me to Evergreen, Colorado. I fell in love with a physician in psychedelic-assisted therapy, which helped me move beyond rigid thinking and consider these medicines as real tools for healing. That path led me to India, into Yog-Vedantic practice. All the while, I was doing deep therapeutic work, particularly with Internal Family Systems—the first therapeudic approach that helped me begin to heal what I’d carried my whole life. Coming back from India, I saw the throughline: 12 step recovery, yoga, and every spiritual tradition are pointing to the same thing. Around that same time, many of the high-profile individuals I had worked with in the alcohol industry began trusting me to help them get sober and stay sober.

Mycelia came out of that intersection: lived experience, clinical understanding, and ancient practice—without the belief that any one path is the answer for everyone. It’s not about fixing people. It’s about giving them a way back to themselves.
