My story began in chaos: From a family that was exiled by a brutal dictator in Africa, I was born into an orthodox hindu family in England, and raised in the bible-belt mountains of north Georgia, where I was the first non-white in the county’s school system.

From a long line of adventure-seeking entrepreneurs,stretching back to my great grandfather being one of the first Indian industrialists in Fiji, I had big shoes to fill. With a degree in Economics from the University of Leicester, England, I "clearly" knew early-on I was destined for a career as a:

Recruitment Consultant / Financial Analyst / Quiznos Restaurant Owner / Log cabin builder / London head hunter / Children’s daycare owner / Haitian charity founder.

Besides exploring my entrepreneurial side, I am obsessed with pushing my personal boundaries; whether testing physical limits via cage fighting or running 156 miles across the Sahara desert in the toughest footrace on the planet, to inner exploration via psychedelic plant medicines in the Amazon rain forest.
