I was born and raised in Southern California. I hold a BA in Psychology and Entrepreneurship from UCLA. Following my graduation, I did two years of consulting for CRL, an architectural supplies company. After completing my contract, I went seeking truth. I landed in the Catskills mountains at Zen Mountain Monastery for a year, living Zen under the guidance of many wonderful teachers. Shortly afterwards, I studied Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui’s Modern Pranic Healing under the guidance of Master Stephen Co. 

Now, I want to help. I created Cora Cacao to deliver the purest cacao on Earth while creating more abundance for farmers per pound of cacao than any other company. From there, I created the Home Business Blueprint to teach what I learned about running a home business to folks looking for more financial sovereignty. In March 2025, I launched the story of my spiritual pilgrimage called QUARTER LIFE CRISIS: Leaving Corporate America for a Zen Monastery. It is many things: My journey, my inner conflicts, a follow-your-heart coming of age story, a no-joke Zen Buddhist Training manual, and guidelines on spirituality for modern times.
