Exercise scientist, Founder and CEO and former military medic at Active & Ageless
I am Founder of Active & ageless where we specialise in health & fitness solutions for over 50s. I love what I do and run my business like my life. If it's not scaring me a little i'm not pushing hard enough. Now sometimes I want to be lazy and idle also, and I enjoy it when I do, but I am disciplined enough that it never lasts. I strive to train hard, to work hard and at times simply enjoy life and even rest hard (and this could be surfing 10 foot waves in Fiji or doing a 50km hike). With a background as an emergency nurse, Army medic, and oil and gas industry medic, I’ve spent my career in high-pressure roles. With Active & Ageless, I’m redefining fitness for over-50s—growing to multiple locations and partnering with aged care facilities in just five years. After multiple back surgeries and advice to ‘play it safe,’ I chose the opposite: running ultra-marathons, surfing big waves, boxing younger opponents, and building a business that inspires strength, resilience, and a life without limits.

With deep experience in pharma and medtech, I specialize in translating regulatory complexity into practical, actionable frameworks. I’ve spent 7+ years navigating the gray areas of compliance—from training physicians on industry expectations to building startup programs from the ground up. I believe compliance should be ethical, functional, and human-centered—and that culture is built through clarity, storytelling, and respect, not fear. Outside of policy and audits, I speak regularly on startup compliance and love turning “boring” topics into memorable moments. I'm here to connect, create, and contribute.

Physcian, DABOM, ABEM at Highland Longevity
I'm a board-certified physician in both Emergency Medicine and Obesity Medicine, and founder of Highland Longevity, a concierge longevity clinic in Fort Worth, Texas. My perspective on metabolic health is shaped by both clinical expertise and personal experience. I lost 87 pounds using GLP-1 medications—but made the common mistake of losing significant muscle in the process. That experience drove me to redesign my entire approach: I subsequently lost an additional 17 pounds of pure fat while preserving lean tissue. This journey transformed how I practice medicine and gave me firsthand insight into the challenges my patients face. With over 6,000 clinical hours in emergency medicine, I've seen the downstream consequences of metabolic disease—and became convinced that the real opportunity lies in prevention and optimization, not just acute intervention. I founded Highland Longevity to bridge the gap between reactive sick care and proactive health optimization. My practice focuses on medical weight loss, hormone optimization, and advanced diagnostics including DEXA body composition analysis and VO2 max testing. I emphasize evidence-based, physician-guided protocols using only FDA-approved medications or properly compounded pharmaceuticals. I speak and write about the science of sustainable weight loss, muscle preservation during caloric deficit, GLP-1 medications, hormone optimization, and the metabolic adaptations that make weight management so challenging for most people. Expertise: Obesity Medicine, GLP-1 Therapy, Metabolic Health, Longevity Medicine, Hormone Optimization, Body Composition
