About a year after graduating from college in Washington, I found myself living a double life.
Half the time, I worked a well-paying but unrewarding job at a corporate Biotech firm, while the rest of my energy was devoted to building and living in a treehouse, 90-feet-up in an old-growth Douglas Fir Pine Tree.

The more inspired I became by my life in the treetops, the more disillusioned I grew with my job.

Then, one night in October, an unexpected windstorm blew up the Washington coastline, enveloping my tree in powerful winds as I slept. I woke up in total darkness to the sound of branches snapping in nearby tree-tops, and as a sudden gust blasted the tree, I was swept off the edge of my small deck, 9-stories high.

To this day, no-one has logically explained how I survived that fall, however, somehow, I awoke the following morning to discover myself, broken, laying at the base of the tree.

For the next 8 hours, I crawled through the frigid forest with 6 fractured vertebrae, 6 broken ribs, two punctured lungs, a ruptured spleen, and 9 shattered teeth.

I passed out at dusk on a nearby logging road, hypothermic with severe internal bleeding, and was found by a hiker who rushed me to the hospital, where I spent the next 2 months, slowly recovering.

Falling from that Pine Tree proved to truly be a spiritual awakening for me.
Over the following year, as my physical body began to return to normal, my consciousness remained permanently shifted.

I quit my job, traveled through Asia, moved to California, and began to spend more and more time in the forest, until, one day, I stumbled across a uniquely perfect Pinecone, and felt called to bring it home.

That Pinecone lived on my windowsill in Santa Cruz for the next 9 months, tight shut, until finally, curiosity compelled me to cut it open and look inside.

For the last 4 years, that very Pinecone has hung from my neck, reminding me of my transformation, and of my passion for living a more genuine and positive life, in alignment with nature.

I’m committed to sharing this passion through Third Eye Pinecones, a hand-crafted organic jewelry project that continues to evolve in both scope and intention.

In partnership with renowned conservation non-profit, American Forests, and through our own private replanting efforts, I can now guarantee the planting of multiple trees for every pendant sold.

Rather than taking from the forest, every Third Eye Pinecone is actively contributing to reforestation efforts in areas of the country that need it most.

It’s our way of saying thank you to nature, with its infinite gifts and lessons. It’s also our way of seeing the opportunity in challenge, the opportunity for self-growth and realization, and the opportunity to make the world a better place.
