Founder's story

Co-founder, CEO
When I was young, two close male relatives of mine killed themselves.



This experience drove me to pursue my PhD in Neuroscience, and to build the Calm app. I've seen first-hand how our cultural conversation around mental health is not resonating with men. It's not geared towards men. Men commit 80% of suicides, so to solve this crisis, we must innovate on new ways to help men.

I founded Mental because I care deeply about helping men realize their full potential, using science-based and action-oriented tools. The tools we use at Mental are beneficial not just when you're down, but also when you're already excelling and looking to find your edge.

Out of all the 20,000+ mental health apps out there, Mental is the first one designed from the ground up with men's needs in mind.


We built it for you.
