Hi, I’m Atticus.
I coach teams and individuals in pursuit of authentic leadership.
In my current job, I work for Synthesis as the Director of Customer Journey. My team and I help guide others toward transformational psychedelic experiences.
There are a few key experiences that have shaped who I’ve become as an adult:
‣
- If you don’t know about Cluster Headaches, read about them here.
- These headaches have taught me to reframe my perspective on pain. They are excruciating and have led me to dark places. If you have ever experienced a cluster headache then you know what it means to be thrust unexpectedly into extreme physical pain. It’s lonely and terrifying. Yet, I try my best not to ‘suffer’ but to learn from them. A cluster headache offers a chance to learn about how you react toward and often fight unwanted experiences. It’s not easy, but there is some light to bring back from the darkness.
‣
- Addiction is a major component of my life.
- For over 10 years I was in active addiction (sex, drugs, food) and consider recovery to be a path I’ll walk for the rest of my life. I have deep compassion for anyone struggling with a dysfunctional relationship toward any substance or behavior.
- For anyone dealing with addiction, I found the Recovery Dharma community to be a compelling alternative to traditional 12-step programs.
- I believe recovery calls us to radically question, define and then live by our deepest values. No process of growth is linear, and walking this path requires discipline, sustained self-inquiry, and compassion for the moments when you fall short of your highest potential.

Curated Content
One of my internet pastimes is cataloging content into curated boards. It’s both creative, calming and a useful index for knowledge I want to revisit. Here are some of my current works in progress.
