Our Story
About Aloha TymeMachine
The click-bait version is, a SWAT cop started a cannabis company. But the truth runs deeper.
I'm a former police officer who spent my career in the middle of the war on drugs, at the height of the heroin and fentanyl epidemic. I saw firsthand how the system failed—families torn apart, communities scarred, lives lost. From that experience, I came to believe one thing clearly: the war on drugs has been a failure.
Aloha TymeMachine was born from that realization. It's not just a brand—it's a movement. Our mission is twofold:
- Healing Today -- through clean, safe, and effective products designed to reduce anxiety, manage pain, improve sleep, and support recovery—powered by cannabis, plant medicine, and psychedelic therapies.
- Changing Tomorrow -- by channeling Aloha's success into scholarships and opportunities for foster kids and underprivileged youth. Because we know: a lack of opportunity often leads to a cycle of crime and trauma. Breaking that cycle creates generational change.
This mission is personal. I've lived through TBI (traumatic brain injury) and PTSD. I've seen the healing power of psychedelics. And I've learned that true strength isn't about silence—it's about speaking openly, healing fully, and creating space for others to do the same.
Aloha means being present, connected, and intentional. Through Aloha TymeMachine, we're building networks of healing, conversation, and community. Together, we can replace stigma with understanding, and hopelessness with opportunity.
Join us—because when we heal together, we rise together.

Founder | CEO
US Navy & US Army
SWAT Officer
Executive Protection
Matt grew up in Connecticut and, after graduating from college, joined the military in 2001. He served in both the Navy and the Army before beginning a law enforcement career in 2007. Over the next 10 years, Matt worked as a Police and SWAT Officer, training in active shooter response, self-defense, and performing raids for local, state, and federal agencies.
After retiring from law enforcement, Matt continued serving as an Executive Protection Agent, as well as working in the entertainment industry as a consultant and actor for military and police roles.
But beneath the professional achievements, Matt faced real and debilitating struggles with PTSD and the long-term effects of TBI. It was through plant medicines and spirituality that he found true healing, self-reflection, and a path of self-improvement.
From this journey, Aloha TymeMachine was born—a movement created to educate communities on the positive aspects of psychedelics and to build pathways that end generational incarceration.
Matt's mission is simple: harness the power of healing, create opportunities for underprivileged youth, and drive generational change.
At Aloha, we believe talent can come from anywhere but opportunity doesn’t always. Too often, the barrier to pursuing passions like science, art, music, sports, or education is simply resources.
That’s where we step in. The Aloha Scholarship Program connects kids and families with the support they need to unlock those opportunities. Whether it’s tuition for a camp, lessons, or special programs, we’re here to bridge the gap.
We’re also inviting organizations and corporations to join us in creating real generational change by sponsoring youth opportunities. Together, we can empower the next generation to thrive.
If you’re a family seeking support, or a partner looking to make an impact wed love to hear from you.
