WE ARE SEEKING A PUBLISHER FOR THE COMPLETED MEMOIR & PHOTO BOOK:
There’s a day in Amsterdam I’ve spent years trying to explain - the one where I ended up smoking weed with Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson on 4/20.
This book is where that story finally lives, along with 40 never-before-seen photos to prove it actually happened. More than just photos and a story, this collection is a cultural artifact documenting an historic encounter between legends at the Grey Area Coffeeshop in 2008.
The Bloom and the Wither is the memoir built around that session — but it’s really about everything that led there: jail, festivals, missed turns, great escapes, and the strange magic of being in the right place at the weirdest possible time.
“Like Forrest Gump meets
Almost Famous, but 100% true”
This is the official home for the book, the merch, the proof, and all the smoke-filled chaos. You’ll also find bonus content, backstory, and the kind of storytelling that lives between memory and mythology.
Told with the kind of voice that lands somewhere between a stoned Anthony Bourdain and a silver-tongued hitchhiker, The Bloom and the Wither drifts through decades of close calls, wild jobs, broken rules, and strange grace.
Along the way, there’s an unwitting brush with
Eddie Vedder, a surreal Whitney Houston moment, a brief appearance in Home Alone 2 and meeting the members of the Grateful Dead. All threaded through a story that’s more about motion, meaning, and the beauty of impermanence than it is about the weed (though yeah, there’s some weed).
From courthouse chaos to a self-imposed exile in Switzerland and Amsterdam, and through the death of a friend that rewrote the rules of what mattered, this memoir traces the slow-burn transformation of a life lived on instinct. After years working behind the scenes at music festivals, the story settles at a half-forgotten motel on the Blue Ridge Parkway, where the dust finally starts to clear and the reckoning begins.
This isn’t a book about being “cool”.
It’s a book about what happens when someone keeps choosing the less-traveled road and the stories that grew from the chaos.
Nothing happens if you don’t try.
Catch the buzz, read the book.
Catch the buzz, read the book.
A voice like no one else’s
This isn’t your typical memoir. The writing hits like a late-night story told on a porch with a half-finished beer. Honest, sharp, occasionally unhinged, and always human. Part travelogue, part personal reckoning, The Bloom and the Wither captures a life lived off-script, with a voice that drifts somewhere between darkly funny and painfully sincere. If you’ve ever felt like the world wasn’t built for the way your brain works — but you went out into it anyway — this is the story you’ve been waiting for.
