Founder & CEO at Quicksilver Scientific·2005 – now

Make 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.

Talk to me about
Morning ritual

Keep 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.

Talk to me about
Teaching

Teach 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.

Talk to me about
Founder & CEO at Quicksilver Scientific·2005

Borrowed 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.

Talk to me about
Health

Tried 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.

Talk to me about
Ph.D. student at Environmental Science and Aquatic Chemistry

Studied 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.

Talk to me about
Organic and biodynamic farming

Farmed organically before I ever became a chemist

I worked in organic and biodynamic farming and explored herbal traditions before going back to grad school.

Talk to me about
Early life

Grew 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.
