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. 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 ancient technologies for Healing and Spiritual Growth to help people escape suffering. Interestingly, even here, my understanding of software & signal analysis offers useful insight in helping others, and a modern language to help describe reality.

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 sensational 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. Yet I clung to the fading material success. This was changed by Grace freeing me of my bondage, reaching a zenith in the form of a flash flood, and two months later, 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. These emotions combined with stillness - most of two months were spent in bed being still to avoid coughing - invited Grace yet again, resulting in profound experiences that changed the path of this life. Now I recognize that the perceived losses were the cutting of chains of bondage to a false identity, to a life that no longer suited me.

In 2019 and 2020 as I went full time into spiritual studies and logged many hours in intentional meditation, I discovered what I already innately hoped and knew: that Spirit is fully interactive. (If you had 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 - right acceptance of the outcomes, including renunciation. Know that you are a powerful being! As Paramahansa Yogananda says, “but don’t take my work 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. Other 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.
