Hi, and welcome to my site.

I’m an entrepreneur and writer most interested in psychedelics as a way to effectively do good.

I founded Atman, one of the first legal psilocybin retreats. Atman Retreat allows people to explore the transformative potential of psychedelics safely, legally, and in a setting designed to maximize their benefits.

Before that, I travelled for several years while blogging at Freedom & Fulfilment, which has now reached almost a million people worldwide. During the pandemic, I wrote a 10-issue newsletter called Good Thought, which went out to several thousand people roughly once a month.

I’m currently based in Toronto, Canada. I was previously a board member of Mapping the Mind, one of Canada’s largest psychedelic science conferences, and a volunteer organizer for Effective Altruism Toronto. I grew up in North Vancouver and studied at McGill University (BA, ’14).

Other interests include meditation (practicing for over 10 years), applied ethics, personality and transpersonal psychology, Bitcoin, and nonduality.
