My Story

Travel. Perform. Travel. Perform.

For a large part of my life that was the shape of things. I have spent most of my working years as a musician, a performer and a composer. Some of it on stages, needing to be at my best whether I felt it or not. Some of it alone at a desk, composing to deadlines that did not much care how creative or focused I happened to feel that week.

There is a rhythm to that life that nobody warns you about. Peaks of high intensity. Then a trough. The trough is the strange part. It is the quiet after the work is done, the worry about when the next peak will come and whether I would be ready for it.

I lived inside those peaks and troughs for years.

Somewhere along the way I came across Lion's Mane. I am not going to make grand claims about it. I can only tell you what it did for me. It helped me level things out. When I needed focus, it was easier to find. When I was down in one of the troughs, it took some of the edge off, and helped me find the motivation to climb back toward the next peak.

For a working musician, focus and a steady head are not luxuries. They are the job.

It became important enough to my own life that I decided to build something around it. That is how Stronos started. Lion's Mane gummies made properly, from fruiting body extract, at a strength I would actually want to take myself.

I am still a musician. Stronos is part of the same journey, not a departure from it.

If any of this sounds familiar, the peaks, the troughs, the search for something that helps you stay steady through both, then come along. I would be glad to have you.
