It’s a system that thrives on fear, division, and distraction. My mission is to help people unplug from the matrix, reconnect with their true nature, and step into their highest potential.

I didn’t always live this way.

For seven years, I worked deep within the belly of the beast—the military-industrial complex, the core engine of the very system I would later fight to escape. As a government engineer specializing in weapons effects testing for the Department of Defense, I wasn’t just in the Matrix—I was the Matrix. It was a role that checked all the societal boxes: stability, prestige, and security. But inside? I was empty. Just another cog in a machine designed for control and destruction.

The more I tried to ignore the gnawing feeling that something was deeply wrong, the louder it became. Eventually, the call to “unplug” became impossible to ignore.

I walked away from the government system and took the first major leap toward freedom, diving headfirst into the world of fitness and human optimization. Over a 17-year career in the fitness industry, I built a reputation as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and gym owner. For seven of those years, I owned CKO Kickboxing Seattle and 2.0 Next Level Fitness, creating spaces where people could challenge themselves, build strength, and transform their lives.

But transformation, I learned, isn’t always clean and controlled.

In 2017, my life took a deeper turn when I traveled to Peru and sat with ayahuasca in the Shipibo tradition for the first time. That first plant dieta under Maestro Ricardo Amaringo cracked something open. One month later, in early 2018, my entire life collapsed. I lost the gyms, my homes, and was forced to file for bankruptcy. On the surface, it looked like failure. But on a deeper level, it was something else—it was a complete dismantling of the old life to make way for something new.

Looking back, it was almost prophetic. I could never have fully walked this path if I still owned the gyms.

My old life had to die before my new one could begin. That collapse cleared the path for my deeper calling: plant medicine and the pursuit of true human potential.

Since then, I have fully immersed myself in Shipibo-style plant medicine, completing multiple plant dietas, assisting in over 100 ceremonies, and embarking on a year-long apprenticeship dieta with Ayahuma—a powerful tree spirit known for its strength, wisdom, and protective energy. This deep apprenticeship wasn’t just about personal healing—it was about learning the intricate balance between holding space, navigating energetic realms, and helping others safely journey through their own transformations.

This work opened my eyes to the deeper sickness of modern society: disconnection. Disconnection from the body. Disconnection from nature. Disconnection from truth.

Unplugged Human was born out of this realization.
