Through The Al the Door Guy Podcast and his current speaking tour, Mental Health Warriors United(link), his passion for merging creativity, holistic wellness, and community-building now informs his current focus building beneficial programs and content about mental health, love, spirituality, and overall well-being.

“Currently, I am focused on the Mental Health Warriors United tour (which is currently available for booking). Once preliminary planning is complete, I'll be focusing on The Al the Door Guy Podcast and The Door Guy Collective (magazine). Both will focus on mental health, love, spirituality, and overall well-being. Whenever the inspiration hits, I'll drop a free workbook, guided journal, or essay.”

“Not currently. I found myself getting lost in an endless stream of freeze-dried candy and "real or cake" videos. For the foreseeable future, I'm logging off to focus on my professional endeavors. I can be reached via email or by phone/text at 215-839-9861.”

“My role is to help make mental health culture exciting, creative, and empowering. Living with a mental health condition can be very challenging, and sometimes life or death, which causes the culture to feel quite heavy. With my background in wellness, entertainment, and community-building, while also being a mental health warrior myself, I am fortunate to have unique skills and talents to stimulate joy within mental health culture, as well as to teach the community how they can do so for themselves and others.”
