My Spirituality: My first near-death-like experience at the age of eleven revealed a radiant being of white light emanating unconditional love, creating an unrelenting desire to seek authentic experiences and the willingness to remove anything in my psyche standing in the way.

Breaking free from the bonds of drugs after my hippie years catapulted me into the life of an adventure junkie until a yearning to return to source consumed me. In spite of my disbelief, magically it happened, the veil was lifted again in 1978. My humanity fled, leaving only Divine presence with an invitation, “If you ask with all your heart, I will reveal myself to you.” This invitation was proven true many more times since then, as my encounters expanded into revealing; the human psyche, the human spirit, the holographic nature of the physical realm and crossing the chasm of death. Peeling away the layers of emotional pain and false perceptions exposed my authentic-self and my very soul, thus allowing me to experience the four layers of consciousness within me.

Abandoning human effort in exchange for asking gave me freedom from the confines of myself. At some point I realized, I was never broken or needed to be fixed. I simply needed to be uncovered.

My Adventures: Water skiing, skin diving, high-diving, trampoline, Taekwondo, Aikido, MMA, snow skiing the Rockies, hiking the Smokies, rock climbing, white-water rafting, canoeing, camping, wilderness survival, mountain man for 1 year, leather crafting, motorcycles, hitch-hiked 30,000+ miles (70’s), NYC professional dancer (not Chippendales lol), boating & live-aboard yachting, Bahama-Abaco-Exuma Islands, fly/deep sea fishing, hunting/tracking (70’s only), guitar, harmonica, spiritual & religious studies, travel exploration, dune-buggy, movie enthusiast, script writing… But the greatest adventure is the human mind transforming from one state of consciousness into another.

My Work: Software and website development consultant since 1983. Semi-retired from consulting.

My Bucket List: Hmmm… Not much left, I’ll have to think about this.
