“The Real Pineapple Express”

I moved to Arizona cusp of 2010-2011 to learn the roofing game, but once I  showed up everything slowly fell apart. I just knew I wanted something different,  so I stayed. I was working part time doing security at local Phoenix Comedy Club  for a little while, within that time I met a guy that was a legal process server aka  Officer of the Superior Court. He taught me the basics on how to serve people  legal documents. Once I got the ball rolling to get certified through the legal  background check, I ended up losing my job doing security, due to me  overstepping my bounds and not following proper procedure. I also forgot to  take my daily Zen (MJ) that day, so I threw out some people that were heckling  Ralphie May a comedian. So, I got fired. So, I stayed in Arizona waited out my  background check to get my certification as Process Server for 6-8 weeks (about  2 months). I ended up moving sleeping on the floor in an apartment with a  friend at the time. It eventually came back then got approved for my certification  to serve legal documents. I started out working for this company out of Phoenix  that served the State of Arizona for 12 years now 24 years. I didn’t like serving  legal documents at first, but I stuck with it because I found it interesting and  gave me a lot of real-life adventures along with freedom on the road. I served  many people; I don’t know the exact amount, but I served thousands on  thousands or more people from 2012 to 2024. The beginning was really tough for  me because I was working a wide area from  

• Sunnyslope up through Northeast running up central all the way up to,  • Desert Hills  
• Cave Creek 
• Carefree 
• Scottsdale 
• 2nd Scottsdale 
• Rio Verde 
• Fountain Hills
• Tempe 

I also went on many other tasks on the outer skirts the westside at times. I  served  

• civil summons litigation 
• injunction of harassments 
• orders of protection 
• judgement debtors 
• Garnishments 
• HOA Summons 
• rental evictions 
• bank evictions 
• Subpoenas 
• traffic tickets for a little bit 
• but the most hated by myself and the people receiving the documents,  but of course family court documents. 

I’ve done setups for many family court cases in  

• parking lots 
• Airports 
• Parks 
• inside stores 
• fast food restaurants  

then also follow people places then serve them and I’ve had grown men run from  me.  

• I’ve done stakeouts 
• car chases when I was a rookie 
• snuck up on someone while at the stop light and drop served on the  windshield 
• snuck into commercial buildings.

(above beyond the call of duty in some cases) I served easy to hard targets from  

• naked people 
• porn kings 
• Strippers 
• internet “live” fly boys (backstage after going Live on Facebook) • Rich Ranch Owners 
• Club Owners 
• Cops 
• Fire fighters 
• Bar Security 
• bar owners 
• homeless people 
• Pedophiles 
• Football players 
• Baseball players 
• Teachers 
• Doctors 
• Lawyers 
• Singer(while singing) 
• MMA Fighters 
• Trainers 
• my Neighbors 
• City of Scottsdale 
• City of Paradise Valley 
• City of Fountain Hills 
• City of Cave Creek 
• City of Carefree 
• City of Tempe 
• City of Phoenix 
• School Boards 
• big time Pharmaceutical CEOs in Paradise Valley 

many other people also. I had many different interactions with all types of  people in different scenarios along with weird places. Some were good along  with the bad all were life learning experiences. I’ve been  

• Threatened 
• Jumped 
• Assaulted 
• tire slashed 
• Hugged 
• accused of lying in court 
• Harassed 
• verbally assaulted  
• run ins with top Level CEO’s 
• Ex Mobster Snitch 
• richest of the rich in Paradise Valley Scottsdale.  

It was hard for me because I had anger issues dealing with traffic some difficulty  with people lying to me all the time for quite a while. Eventually I became a  master at when being able to tell if someone is lying to me. It became sort of fun  when I’d catch someone in a lie then chuck it into the door before they could get  the door closed. I was smoking weed all through this to help ease the frustration  of daily commute hard subjects that I needed to serve. I also found that I was  driving in the most beautiful areas in Arizona. I could go into places gated  communities that no one else could go see the most beautiful sights documented  some of them on my Instagram: the_real_pineapple_express I deemed myself the  Real Pineapple Express because every time I would meet someone they’d say,  like the movie right. Not quite the movie but because I can’t mispresent myself  by law can’t wear disguises. It was the toughest experience of my life I  persevered because I knew that eventually what I really wanted to do with my life, and I’d have the freedom to create that next life due to the fact I was a  contractor that could make my own schedule. Along with real world stories  about process serving that I can tell people rather than make them up like most  people do. It came to the point where working making money became a very 

tough task because it was an internal battle every day going forward. I was  battling the world learning the hard way with all the people I encountered at the  door or on the highway. Every time I got ahead with money; it would just go back  to my car for repairs. So that lead me to being kind of isolated from family  friends back home. Serving my community was also isolating because I would  run into the people at the bars and made me not want to go out because it led to  professional issues. That left me to the internet to tell everyone about my stories  of serving people on Face Book, but that was shortly lived because I started  doing more research on the internet about the way we live as people and that  way was totally the wrong way of living along with dropping serious amount  mind freeing memes on Instagram. That lead me to getting more involved with  the betterment of myself because in order to change the world we must change  ourselves first. I did that by sticking to the gym eating better along with quitting  alcohol and processed sugar. I was still looking for the next level. I was a student  of life eventually when you’re ready you’ll meet someone that will help you get  to that next level I did. Or at least I thought I did. Because everyone in your life  you meet is there for your lifetime or there to teach you a lesson whether it be  good or bad. Bad lessons are just as good as lessons because if you look at them  in a certain way it’s a lesson that will teach you a better way in life. I met a  person that I thought would take me to the next level by working on high level  events with security event companies. Eventually I wanted to become tour  security with bigger tours, but that turned out to be just another lesson in life  that’s not to give your energy to false lights along with over self-sacrifice. I  worked with some of the best people in the business. I stood tall until it came to  the point that I was overextending myself to attempt to gain notoriety. I was at  peak game working high level events, doing the work of ten men in barricade  catching people crowd surfing jumping the barricade. The crowd surfers mainly  started coming towards me because everyone else would drop them on the  barricade, where I was leaping like a ninja at catching everyone on the fly. I  found it to be a high adrenaline rush for myself liked the fact that I was able to  help people have fun doing it. I was starting to make a name for myself at local  Phoenix event centers. Then COVID happened everything fell apart, even me. I 

ended up sort of part time still serving people, but still maintained by  entertaining myself with psychedelic mushrooms every weekend. In the  meantime, I got out of shape along with physical problems got a concussion at a  local hotel water park. I started eating more psychedelic mushrooms every week  for like a year a half during COVID. This led me to going in on myself. I learned  that tripping on mushrooms is something that most people should do when  attempting to align heal themselves from depression. It will help analyze your  life from a true perspective. When telling people about my journey, they told me  that they don’t like shrooms because it gives them anxiety. I found that  somewhat to be true, but also found through my social experimentation that it  makes you see the dark (may feel anxiety like, but you can countercheck this  mentally find your Zen mode along with mental preparation for that feeling) in  

• the first 30 to 45 mins depending on the dosage, but I used to do pretty  decent size dosage like two caps and two stems vs the safe bet of half a  stem or just cap.  
• The smaller the dosage, the smaller the anxiety and so on.  • I found it makes you gain serious introspective that most cannot handle.  • My advice to those people is that mushrooms are for people that are  

serious about growth development along with mental gymnastics’. In  order for your dendrites to grow, you must be willing knowingly go into  the darkness in order to see the light.  

• For you can only go so far deep into the darkness that you must see the  light. Once you find that light then hold onto it because it will be forever  buried into your soul and never to be dampened out again.  

This led me to think back to when I was, we Ladd back in the shire growing up to  think what I wanted to be in life what’s kind of natural to me. Rather than  listening to everyone else that thought they knew best for me. I found that I get  bored easily and nothing will ever feed my appetite for the need of being aligned  with myself other than being creative in any way that I can be, so I had an idea  for a T shirt design of a Pineapple Grenade blowing up on a shirt like. So, I  created it, then I ate some shrooms like usual. I was watching fractals on the 3 

screens closed my eyes then a fractal opened up above me. Once I settled down, I  looked at my pineapple grenade design and said to myself that this looked boring  made a swirl behind it. I gave birth to my first creation I called  

• the Digi the Pineapple Vortex later renamed The Real Pineapple Express  due to it feeling more fitting. I realized the pineapple grenade also fits my  personality, sweet dangerous. After that I wanted to make most of my  designs 3D like with camouflage-based art. I ended up making a clothing  brand Tango Tree Clothing with all my art designs.  
• Tango is derived from the Military Phonetic Alphabet. Since I’m a Veteran  served in the Army National Guard for 8 years deployed twice to Kosovo. I  felt it fitted nicely. Since my company was a tree-based company, I wanted  to make a Tree as another design. So, happens I was dabbling in the truths  about who we are as people because I’m a thinker, so I made the  
• Tree of Life Vortex. The Tree of Life Vortex has a DNA Strand getting  sucked into a Vortex because we have treelike characteristics that match  more like trees than anything else. We have thumbs that look like tree  stumps. We have hairlike trees that have leaves. We have skin like tree  bark. We have C.B.D. receptors in our brains that regulate our brain and  plants heal us, so they’re here for us and we’re here for them. The Tree of  Life Vortex design is something that actually unites us all together as  people rather than dividing us by race religion and so on. Alignment is  something we all need to truly realize that we’re here for one purpose that  for the world around us. Once everyone truly realizes their true purpose,  we will be living in a new world where people actually care for the world  around us rather than taking it for granted. 

Once I was aligned with my creative process, everything around me started to  flow together because I had a true purpose in life that was to make creative  conscious clothing that will stimulate the 

• Mind 
• body  
• soul.  
• All the frustrations of internal fighting went away.  
• I also stopped battling the world that I found myself faced with every day.  • I started using my time more wisely to help facilitate my creations day  night.  
• I have many more designs coming, but these meant the most to me and  that is why I’m sharing.  
• I’m currently retired from process serving and attempting to align with my  life’s purpose and with your support we can make this come true. Thank  you for allowing me to share my story with you.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a  relatively smooth road?

Well the journey of becoming a process server was a struggle in itself as you can  read from my story, but I persevered through many personal trials &  tribulations. Due to me driving a lot & that lead me to have many physical  problems with my  

• back, legs & mental health.  
• I also had a heat injury from the military that would rear his ugly head  when I wasn’t hydrated enough because I’d wake up in the middle of the  night with leg cramp screaming every so often especially during summer 
• so that led me to changing my lifestyle to better accommodate this  struggle. 
• Eventually the desert also caught up to me by having throat & nose  infection issues along with allergies that I’ve never had before, this even  affected my face & ears that continually ring to this day when I’m trying  to sleep.  
• It was tough living in the desert knowing that I would wake up or go to bed  everyday to not knowing the next day would bring.  
• I was also in a couple accident’s (car accident & waterpark concussion)  • that lead me down a painful path of two steps forward & five steps back of  rehabilitation.  
• Towards the end I found that I was sleeping twisted & led me to having  more back problems that took me more time to recover.  
• I used this time wisely though, I kept creating my next level because I was  taking all my pain & turning it into motivation that would turn my life  into another direction.  
• Then I was struggling with my neighbors & their judgment along with fake  friendships that were one sided, that also led to more frustration. I also  took all that frustration & used it as motivation to continue my creative  vision of the next level.  
• Very rough road, but that’s why my story is so great. 

Overall, Finding myself was a big struggle along with attempting to go out and  look into the world to find myself, but when I should’ve been looking within. I  just took all my darkest hours & buried it deep down inside & used this as the  

fire within to keep plotting & planning the next level. I knew this was the  biggest mountain to climb & that it all would be worth it in the end. I knew it  was up to me & only me to create the next level. A lot of responsibility I was  taking on my shoulders to make this happen for myself. All roads lead home. 

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you  do?

I’m leveling up my Tango Tree Clothing LLC brand creation along with picking  up skills as I go. I started with drawing, tracing, creating my design’s 

• “The Real Pineapple Express 
• Tango Tree of Life Vortex 
• B-Squad consists of 4 Killer Military Bee’s that resemble Ghost Recon. So  far I have 2 killer bee’s made so far named Hucklebee Silent Bee Deadly  done out of 4 Killer Bee’s 
• King Tango Vortex 
• Shroom Verse Compass (has infinity symbol with shrooms blooming for  effect) 
• Rose of Life Vortex 
• T(2) design stand’s for Tango Tree, since it has 2 T’s it’s Tango Tree 2 tha  Power” resembles “Axe like T”.  
• I also have various Real Tree Camo prints on a variety of cut sew  sublimination leggings, joggers, tops bottoms, shorts, dresses so on.  • I have them on my drop shipping site TangoTreeClothing.com.  • I also have https://tango-tree-llc.square.site/ with my screen printed tee’s.  • I have a sale for Tango Tree of Life Vortex along with my pre order of The  Real Pineapple Express in Neon open until August 14th. 
• Now I’m working on branding and networking to get my designs in front  of people that will take me to the next level.  
• I’m also working on sorting out a marketing plan to expose my website  designs through brand ambassadors along with a social media marketing  plan. 
• I feel my over all plan wants to build a successful conscious creative brand  that gives back to the community through more various enterprises. 

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something  you can share that might surprise us? 

I’ve always looked at myself in the mirror and always thought I could be a lot  more in life. Now finally I can look at myself say that I’m thankful for my journey  of struggle because without that I wouldn’t be who I am today. I set out on an  unknown journey and it gave me everything I needed to learn who I needed to be 

for my next life as a leader in my community along with solid experiences in the  community. I’ve given my life to serving the community whether thru the  

• Military 
• Security 
• working with special people with physical mental disabled as a previous  job then  
• serving people with legal documents.  
• Now I want to serve my community by creating a brand that will inspire  people to change for the better along with creating a great organization  that will giveback through philanthropic goals that will be laid in place  once Tango Tree is in place. This is just one level of creating that will  unlock many levels to come. So leveling up is a way of life for me. I feel  I’m better off today than 13 years ago when I embarked on this journey  and can be someone who can look up to because my outlook in life has  changed big time. I find this is the best way to live rather than an hourly  mundane existence working a 9 to 5. Not knowing what’s around the  corner is very much more interesting to me, but that’s what makes the  journey so much better than the destination.
