Why I do this
The Origin of Bliss Science
My moment of crisis
I grew up in an oil and ranching family in the desert of West Texas. I eventually traded in cattle & oil rigs for lab coats & molecules, as I got my PhD in chemistry from the #1 school in the country.
Yet despite graduating from MIT and then UC Berkeley, and a postdoctoral fellowship at UCSF, I never had a single class on healthy relationships.
Instead, through long hours in lab, I learned to repress my body and emotions to get by, resulting in social anxiety, stressful relationships, chronic fatigue, and a painful divorce.

the changes that saved me
After a deep-dive into authentic relating at Burning Man and my first psychology training, I couldn't imagine living the rest of my life in lab and put my pippettes down forever to go say yes to what scared me.
I spent the next decade living in spiritual communities in Asia, studying meditation, relationships, and non-dual metaphysics, turning my view of the world upside down.
At the same time, I trained as both an executive coach with the ICF and a sex, love, and relationship coach.

the creation of bliss science
When my entire concept of who I was got blown open after my divorce, and I found myself alone in a wooden hut on a tropical island with no idea what to do next, I finally stopped trying to logic my way through life and let in somatic ways of knowing.
Suddenly, life got a helluva lot more fun. Unlike a lot of weird spiritual dogma out there, I refused to throw out the scientific worldview even as I learned to love the ineffable. Blending both scientific and somatic helped me date smart after divorce and create a dream relationship with the love of my life.
Want a happier life and passionate love? I founded my my Bliss Science coaching practice to help other left-brained men in STEM access a different side of your brain without feeling like you want to crawl in a hole and hide.
After all, as a PhD chemist, I'm interested in relational bonds that truly last.

"Health, love, and your mission, in that order. Nothing else matters."

why men in tech
I specialize in working with men & couples in tech:
1. post-exit founders
2. scientists & engineers
3. investors
1. post-exit founders
2. scientists & engineers
3. investors
Like many of the men I work with, I was all-mission, all the time, for 15 years as a scientist. Health and love were accessory. And it led me to burn out at age 33 and leave my scientific career - after a PhD and postdoctoral fellowship.
Today, after 10 years of studying relationship chemistry, I'm on a mission to help men and women love each other. You're probably here because you've realized success in business is hollow without success in love. You can have both.
I should know - I'm living a relationship of vision, purpose, and meaning with the love of my life while building a tech company.

Men are underserved in relational work
Men are understandably skeptical of psychology and therapy-speak, yet women are hungry for you to lean in. I show you how.
Men love to love
It's time to stop shaming men. It's time to be on the same team in love. I help you remember how much you have to offer women - just because of who you are.
We are both logic-driven
As a PhD scientist who was also driven by logic and skeptical of all things somatic & spiritual, I help bridge the gap between your logical mind and love.
Here's the truth
Women are drawn to power, but it's not the kind you think.
It’s the inner power and relational IQ that goes from boardroom composure to bedroom electricity.
The kind that trades shame and repression for self-awareness and growth.
You can keep the status-quo of acrimonious relating and dead-bedrooms, or you can become the relationship rebel, flip the script, and create a legacy of love for your children.
How? The paradigm-shifting wisdom of the tantric yogis was to value both intellectual understanding as well as subjective, embodied experience.
Reason and emotion. Each refines the other.
