Experiences
- Founder & CEO at Quicksilver ScientificMake supplements built to actually reach the cell
I started it in 2005 as a small clinical lab. In 2006 we were first to sell pharma-grade nano-liposomal supplements.
- Morning ritualKeep an infrared sauna two feet from my bed
My half-hour morning is supplements, sauna, then a binder. I did it for detox; the surprise was the mental clarity.
- TeachingTeach detox chemistry to practitioners and dentists
Twice a year I teach dentists an 8-hour course on metals detox, as part of a program on holistic medicine.
- Founder & CEO at Quicksilver ScientificBorrowed credit cards for food while building the company
My family lived on $35K to $40K a year and shopped thrift stores. I wanted to give up countless times.
- HealthTried tirzepatide and saw a sandwich as squiggly lines
At a family reunion I ate a quarter of a club sandwich, and my sister and cousin ate my fries.
- Ph.D. student at Environmental Science and Aquatic ChemistryStudied mercury and came out with a patented test
My research on telling the forms of mercury apart led to a patent, and then to founding Quicksilver.
- Organic and biodynamic farmingFarmed organically before I ever became a chemist
I worked in organic and biodynamic farming and explored herbal traditions before going back to grad school.
- Early lifeGrew up in a toxic steel town, asking questions early
Growing up there got me asking about environmental sustainability early on, and that led me into farming.
