About Me:

I’ve always gone after big, crazy ideas. When I was 20, I dropped out of college with a single semester left to study Buddhism, and never went back. In 2018, I founded East+West, a yoga school that quickly became one of the largest in the world.

I am now the youngest sitting university president in the US, working on radically changing higher education to make it more practical and affordable.

I believe education is sacred and the greatest service you can offer another. We’ve lost touch with the profound importance of education, and societal issues are the downstream effects of this. I advocate for systemic and cultural change to bring more wellness, innovation, ethics, and common sense into the education system.

As a wellness advocate and founder of one of the most innovative schools in the country, my life’s mission is to improve lives by empowering others with the world’s best education.
