OVERVIEW OF MY PROFESSIONAL LIFE

I grew up on a farm in Iowa. At age 18, in 1981, when the farm belt was under economic duress, I moved to Iowa City where I found employment and started college. During school and the years after, my life revolved around chasing money as an entrepreneur and seeking thrills. Attracted to software, mathematics, and physics, I first worked on a medical product, and later transitioned into Finance.

As my material world was being decimated - during my spiritual awakening - I pivoted and began to study Reiki and mystical phenomena to gain understanding. Later after more shocking events occurred, my search for understanding led me to study Spiritual Guidance Mentorship at Atlantic University, founded by Edgar Cayce Foundation. Spirit then led me to study Ayurveda, Heart Centered Therapy, and Yoga Therapy. My work now is to bring these technologies for Healing and Spiritual Growth to help people escape suffering and grow spiritually.

AWAKENING TO THE SPIRITUAL & HEALING PATHS

The Divine graced me with many spiritually connected experiences starting in early childhood - I credit this partly to being graced with insomnia and naturally practicing meditation as a child. Even so, I still fell into the worldly trap of busyness and sensual pleasure seeking. Then in my 40’s, after asking for, receiving, and ignoring, a call to be of service (Dec 2010), all aspects of my world crumbled apart: relationships, health, financial, and professional. Yet, as my life was crumbling I began having spiritually connected experiences again - more powerfully than ever. Even with a divided mind, I clung to the fading material success. (The ego is tenacious!) Slowly and painfully, Grace freed me of my bondage, cutting one binding after another, reaching a zenith in the form of a flash flood, and two months later, bedridden with pneumonia.

Having turned real world pain into great suffering, it was during pneumonia (Jan-Feb 2018) that I found full Surrender. At that time, the pain of regret around relationships was replaced with Love - the root cause of regret. These feelings combined with stillness (7 weeks in bed) invited Grace yet again, resulting in profound experiences that changed the path of this life. After some years of spiritual growth, I could see that the material world losses freed me from a false identity and a life that no longer suited me.

In 2019 and 2020 as I went full time into spiritual studies and logged many hours in meditation, I discovered what I already innately hoped and knew: that Spirit is fully interactive. (If one has but the faith of a mustard seed…) What was new for my life was greater understanding of right intention, right attention, with intensity, and - what I am still working on - acceptance of the outcomes without attachment. Know that you are a powerful being! To paraphrase Paramahansa Yogananda, “but don’t take my word for it, take up my yoga!”

The work that excites me the most is that of helping you understand your experiences, and to navigate your own path of self-discovery and healing. To that purpose I offer support and guidance to those ready to embark on the journey within.

FOR FUN

I enjoy frequent walks outdoors, including hiking mountains when possible. Regular activities include weight lifting & yoga practice. While I seldom find a crag these days, rock climbing remains an occasional attraction. Music has been a long-running component in my life: occasionally I might be heard playing guitar at assisted living facilities.
