Spirit

From
harm to
sanctuary.

A spiritual journey that started in evangelical churches, moved through exclusion and sacred anger, and is now building the containers it couldn't find.

The story

I grew up inside the evangelical church. Deeply. Ted Haggard's megachurch in Colorado Springs. Southern Baptist. John Piper's congregation. Faith wasn't a background detail — it was the structure of my entire world.

Then I came out. And the church removed me from membership.

That wound didn't kill my spirituality. It radicalized it. I stopped asking "how do I fit in the existing containers?" and started asking "what new containers need to exist?" That question became Believr. It became Nu Foundation. It became Sunday nights with 8 people I love, sitting in a circle and calling it church without calling it church.

I don't use the word Christian anymore. But I am more inspired by Jesus than I've ever been. I believe God is real and shows up in people daily. I believe queer people deserve spiritual homes, and I've spent the last decade trying to build them.

"Faith is collaborative.
Empire is competitive."

The journey
Formation
Evangelical Roots
Grew up in Colorado Springs inside Ted Haggard's megachurch, then Southern Baptist, then John Piper's congregation in Minneapolis. Deep faith formed in contexts that would later wound. I believed everything they taught me, and I believed God loved me.
Rupture
The Exclusion
Removed from church membership for being gay. The institution that formed my spiritual life told me I didn't belong in it. That pain is real and still tender. It also created clarity: I would spend my life building what I couldn't find.
Building
Believr + Nu Foundation
Founded Believr — a dating and community app for LGBTQ+ Christians who thought they had to choose between faith and identity. Co-founded Nu Foundation to build infrastructure for the next generation of queer-affirming spiritual creators. The mission: remove the admin burden so spiritual workers can do the actual work.
Deepening
Medicine & New Practices
Psychedelics have been genuinely transformative in my spiritual life. Monthly mushroom journeys help me reconnect with myself and stay honest. Completed Polaris Insight Center training. Currently in Inner Trek's Level 1 psychedelic facilitation certification — learning to hold space for others the way I've been held.
Now
Spiritual Yams & What's Next
Every Sunday night, 8 of my closest friends gather. We call it Spiritual Yams. We're not a church — we're something newer and realer. Meditation, community, honest conversation, and the stubborn belief that we are better together. I'm still in the middle of this story.

Current Practices

How I tend to my spirit today
Meditation
Daily practice. Stillness before the work. The ground everything else is built on.
Spiritual Yams
Sunday nights with 8 close friends. Intentional community as spiritual practice. My church now.
Medicine Journeys
Monthly mushroom journeys for reconnection and recalibration. Training to hold space for others through Inner Trek.
Community Architecture
Believing queer people deserve spiritual homes and spending time and money building them — Believr, Nu, NHN.

What I'm building

The spiritual work and the operational work are the same work. I use the same tools — systems, tech, community — for both.

Active
Believr
LGBTQ+ Christian dating and community app. Values-based matching, community spaces, privacy-first. For the people who thought they had to choose.

Nu Foundation

Let's work together

Build some­thing that matters.

I build companies and products from zero — technology, strategy, and operations. If you're working on something real, let's talk.
