The story.

Born in New Jersey, I joined the U.S. Army in 2009 as a 13B Field Artillery Cannon Crewmember, deploying to Afghanistan in 2011 with the 1st Infantry Division, Task Force Duke.

After the Army I went into science: a B.S. in Physiology from the University of Arizona, election to Phi Beta Kappa and Omicron Delta Kappa, and peer-reviewed research in molecular spectroscopy. I completed four years of medical-school coursework at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, made the Dean's List, then stepped away in my final year after my father's heart attack.

I'm relentlessly multidisciplinary: science, music, and art all drive how I work. Today I consult on labs and AI, build websites and apps, tutor, and serve as Founder & CEO of Shroombiosis, a functional-mushroom supplement brand, where I also write and review the health content. I'm a trained, published scientist applying that rigor to supplements, and I review science as a contributor at Die Tryin Co.
