I’m a purpose-driven leader & entrepreneur with more than 20 years of experience in the hospitality and staffing space. I’m also a coach in the emerging psychedelics field whose focus is on optimizing human potential. My other roles include podcaster, public speaker, angel investor, and philanthropist with a soft spot for owners and operators of family businesses.

Dramatic stories like my pandemic pivot, along with team-building tips, have become a hallmark of my Alchemist Lounge podcast, where I host spirited conversations with business leaders. I’ve also been a featured speaker at numerous events and recently became a Third Wave certified guide – helping leaders improve their wellbeing and productivity through microdosing psychedelics.

One of my proudest achievements includes a pandemic pivot for my hospitality staffing agency. I drew upon my resilience to keep the company afloat after losing its entire client base due to COVID-19. Within 21 days at the height of massive lockdowns, 75% of my workforce was back to work – retrained in eco-friendly disinfection services for businesses who needed healthy office spaces.
