Our Management Team
AJ Leveille – Partner, President
Like many other successful entrepreneurs, AJ Leveille looks at obstacles and sees opportunities. He owns and operates several successful businesses and had an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age. With a passion for adventure travel, he’s travelled to more than 50 countries via backpack, hotel, ship and expedition truck. AJ is an avid mountain climber. He’s reached many summits over the years including Washington’s Mt Baker, and Kala Patthar in the Nepalese Himalayas.
AJ knows what it’s like to face life’s unexpected obstacles. At the age of 30, he developed a severe case of Ulcerative Colitis and was hospitalized. Over the next two years, he was subject to multiple treatments, lost nearly one-third of his 150-lb body weight, and had surgery to remove his colon. After choosing to have further surgery to keep his ostomy, he wanted nothing more than to return to life as he had known it.
Almost two decades later, AJ has discovered that living life to the fullest with an ostomy, while not always straightforward, is certainly possible. With the steady support of his wife, and the future of his two sons in mind, he’s faced his medical challenges head on and has figured out ways to return to his active, adventurous lifestyle. Thanks to various techniques and products, he’s resumed his outdoor pursuits and travelled to more remote international destinations. AJ has developed a passion for vehicle dependent travel known as overlanding. His ultimate purpose in forming Inner Good is to help others with their ostomy-related struggles so that they can enjoy their lives to the best of their ability.
