Nearly two years ago I sought out psychedelic treatment, the medicine Ibogaine, that saved me from myself
Monday (2/24/25) I testified to lawmakers on the lasting effects of this medicine and what help/ relief it can bring to veterans with TBI and other mental issues - I speak as being one of those veterans
Special thanks to @kyrstensinema for spearheading this charge
HB 2871

Been locked in at school and finished with my best semester yet
About to nerd out but conducted a in-house pilot study (so take this with the heaviest grain of salt) long story short there was a significant positive correlation between happiness and grade level - the higher your grade level is the more happier you are
Got me thinking more and the only thing I can come up with is that in the higher grade levels education is more purposefully driven (not generalized) so no wonder people are more happier showing up to school
If there’s anything to take away, show up with purpose and you might find happiness with it
Pats run 2026 was more than a time of remembrance but also a time of reunion. Reunion of shared sufferings and rejoice of where we grew up in Ranger Regiment.
The phrase “You earn your scroll everyday” is all I could think about when hearing how the guys shaped themselves after their time in Regiment - we may have taken the uniform off but the mindset never changed.
The rowdiness and the laughter following a vulgar comment was just a glimpse of the life we all shared - so glad y’all took me back there, just for a little bit. Excited to do it again next year.

So close to fire but we played safe…..

Almost Brothers , Almost Lovers 😂 a CQB and life song by Method Endeavors.

This was an old one but hopefully it brings you@closer to your CQB buddies and life partners
There is a multitude of reasons on why I’m sharing this, two big ones
1) Shed more light that it’s not a one and done endeavor, in reality, how you integrate matters more than the actual canon event of engaging with the medicine
2) Changing the Narrative - too many stigmas and ignorance comes to mind when the topic of psychedelics is brought up. I’m not saying this is the key to mental health but rather a tool we shouldn’t neglect
I truly believe if it can help me, it can help anyone

What a year 2025 has been. It’s hard to put it into words, but it has been nothing but reminders that I’m on the right path. Im gifted with so many relationships in this life, just a year ago I would have never saw any of this coming. I’m so excited for what it’s in store for next year.
Veterans Day is a time of reflection
I’m sure some can relate just being a fearful kid surrounded by giants. In some ways it’s still the same for me, but no longer that scared kid but rather the man that this younger version of me would look up to - probably in awe and disbelief in what we accomplished.
Service Never Stopped is my mentality, and realizing that has kept my sanity.
A lot of us that struggle post-military dismiss the idea of service as it’s part of the loss of identity transitioning out. In reality, the mindset can be the same when out of the uniform just applied in different ways. It’s helped me and I hope it helps you.
To all the Veterans out there, thank you.
Fun fact: My Ranger buddies and I would jam out to this song, calling it our theme song for the activities our unit would have us do and a lot of the work being at night. Whenever I hear it I get nostalgic of those moments.
