Finding hope following a horrific Naval aviation crash is exactly what Kegan “SMurF” Gill did. After years of preparation and training to fly a US Navy F/A -18E Super Hornet, Kegan found himself bracing for impact when his jet was speeding toward the Atlantic Ocean at nearly the speed of sound. In January of 2014 over the icy waters of the Atlantic, Kegan sustained devastating injuries from a high-speed ejection into the sound barrier. After over a dozen surgeries, two years of rehabilitation and weening himself off high dosage pain meds he returned to flying Super Hornets. Eventually he started to struggle from delayed onset PTSD and cognitive impairments from his severe traumatic brain injury. Pharmaceutical psych medication worsened his symptoms to the point of being hospitalized in a psychosis. After years of struggling in the VA healthcare system, nearly loosing his family and fighting the urge of suicide he discovered a variety of alternative treatments including psychedelics. He is now off all psych medications and truly healing his mind, body and soul. Kegan is committed to having a positive and lasting impact on others who have experienced significant physical and mental health injuries and desires to show others that there is a different path to healthy living.
