Founder and CEO of Comeback Snacks. Popcorn so good, it’s criminal.

Founder and Creative Director of Comeback Snacks, a gourmet popcorn company I started in federal prison.

After getting mixed up with the wrong crowd and the wrong substances, I made the colossal mistake of attempting to import narcotics into Canada. I was sentenced to 4 years in prison, where I started Comeback Snacks with the purpose of creating a social enterprise that could also provide reintegration opportunities for the formerly incarcerated.
