✨I’m an Evidential Medium, Psychic Intuitive, Reiki Practitioner and Energy Worker...BUT, there’s much more to my story than that.

I’ve been married for 18+ years. I’m the step father of 3 (I dislike the term “step father” btw, but will use it here for transparency purposes). The youngest of the 3 transitioned in 2022. His name was/is Michael. The grief off losing a child is indescribable. Some have told me I can honor him by sharing with others the tools I have learned to use to move forward. But I’m not always sure about that. For I am still learning myself. I think I will always be learning. All I can do is share my story when asked. And there are times, honestly, I am not up to sharing. It was a life changing event for all those close to him. BUT…I can say this with certainty…my spiritual journey has saved me from getting lost forever in the depths of despair. My Mediumship saved me. In fact, if it were not for Mediumship, I don’t know if I would have found a healthy way to deal with Michaels passing. AND, Michael has now made himself part of my "Spirit Team" as I call them - he has become one of my main helpers in spirit throughout not just my mediumship journey, but also in my every day life.
I LOVE the water. The ocean in particular. I love to wade out in 5-8 foot waves and just get PUMMELED. Let go and just flow with the undercurrents of the wave. Getting beat up by a wave brings me peace. Here’s the irony, I have lived in the desert for 15+ years. We moved to Costa Rica for close to a year. However, that is where we were when we received word of the passing of our son Michael. So, life had other plans and we moved back to the US, 1st to Florida for a short time and now back to the Phoenix area of AZ to be closer to family and back on ground that feels more familiar. Who knows where we will be led next. BUT…I can almost guarantee you it will be close to a large body of water.
I am not one of those people who always needs to be doing something. I love to be still and do nothing. I can sit in my chair (it’s this big ugly overstuffed yellow lazy-boy rocking chair) with my cup of coffee and stare at the wall in peaceful thought and presence, waiting for the paint to peel, easily for over an hour and be perfectly fine in that stillness and action of nothing.
I was a late bloomer in regard to my “Spiritual Awakening”…for me it happened later on in my life. It unfolded very organically in 2019. Things were “feeling” different, energies externally, and internally were shifting. I felt like a rag doll being thrown about inside a dryer…or like a ball in a ping pong machine. I felt changed to a point that I was carved out hollow inside and didn’t know what was left, if anything, of the old me. Then one day out of the blue, my wife emailed me an ebook she came across online in PDF form. By a complete unknown writer. It was all about human conditioning and coming back around to one’s true self and being reminded of our divine nature. That we are Spirit incarnate. All that internal spirit type stuff. I devoured the book in one day and throughout I was thinking “I KNOW this already! How the hell can this be? This totally makes sense! It resonates. How did I forget about this!?I” Then life opened up and became much more interesting and clear. And became much more complicated at the same time. For I had to begin to learn how to truly live – and learn what truly matters – all over again. Not to mention who – I AM.
I love nature. Animals. It has always been the ultimate healing balm for my soul. So I admit, the concrete jungle and big city life IS a real struggle for me. I want to step out my front door and see forest. Walk to an ocean/lake, river or stream. I want to drive down a 2 lane to a store 3 miles from here in 6 minutes, not 15 minutes time. But I’m learning to find the beauty and purpose in wherever I find myself at any given time. To accept it by knowing there is a reason…even if the reason has not yet been made clear to me.
I absolutely loathe politics. Ironically, I used to be a bit of a news j***y but now – you will never find the news on in the house.
I used to be much more materialistic. Not in the sense that I liked or wanted the “finer” things in life. But rather I believed I needed “stuff” as validation of the success of my efforts in life & thus self-worth. Now I live much more sparingly. I recently found myself saying “I just need to surround myself with certain things that speak to me and help to make me comfortable in an uncomfortable world.” And that’s all there is to it really. I like to keep things as simple as possible now. Surrounding myself with things that have a story to them. That are part of MY story & that homey type of comfort. I don’t get overly attached to any of it. I just APPRECIATE what I have. The less I have to take care of when I get up each day the better! Now I want as much time and space as possible to live and experience (or do nothing) rather than ‘maintain’ objects.
I absolutely love Photography and was at one point what I considered an amateur photographer. Even sold some of my work. To capture a moment in time that will never be seen or had again - there’s something happy in a sad sort of way about that. Something very poetic. One can capture the infinite in a good nature photograph. An entire novel can be found in the split second captured in a good “candid” photograph.
My son Michael decided very shortly after his passing to make himself part of my “Spirit Team”. He guides me and teaches me things. He leads me to what, how and when to say things that help others in their own grief journey. His words of wisdom show up in readings. In my auto-writings. He leaves signs for me (the main “anchor” sign of his is a bumble bee). When he 1st started blending with my energy, right beforehand I would hear a “buzzing” in my right ear. One day I thought ‘Sounds just like a bumble bee’. Since that day, I started seeing bumble bees everywhere! Paintings. Book & magazine covers. Online ads. Bumper stickers. Stuffed bumble bees on shelves in stores. In nature. I mean, everywhere. It has become his way when he knows I'm stuck in a phase of doubt, to remind me “Hey, I'm right here! You KNOW this is real. Get out of your head and back into your heart. We have work to do!” We speak more now than we did when he was here in physical form.
I’ve suffered from clinical depression most of my life. I now realize it’s because I was always “aware” of things and internalized these “things” but didn’t yet have the tools to digest and dissect and ultimately realize these “things” were not mine to hold onto. Thus there’s VERY much “stuff” to clean and clear out. But now I’m aware of it and though the process can be rough, real rough at times, I’m actually enjoying the process of “cleaning up & clearing out”.
I am an avid reader. I am usually reading 2 books at once. One fictional when I need to relax the brain, and one non-fiction. Not surprisingly, I am always soaking in books about spirituality. Self-Help books. But I also love books on world history, travel, space and certain scientific topics. As for fiction, I am mostly drawn to mysteries. Some of my favorite authors are Randy Wayne White, Robert Crais, Lawrence Block, Preston & Child, Michael Connely and James Lee Burke.
Oh yeah, I don’t know if it’s the constant “evolvement” and “expansion” that I energetically feel the last few years or what. But I must admit I am super, hyper sensitive. Because of this, I am not a big crowd person. Even going to a concert, or a sporting event I know I will enjoy, can be a struggle just to get myself out the door.
Many see my long hair and presume I am into music or am a musician myself. Well, they are correct on both fronts. To say I am a music lover is an understatement (I was a master of the “mix tapes” of the 80’s). Many are also surprised I am not a “metal head”. For I have an eclectic taste in music. I love rock n roll (from the oldies such as buddy holly to the 60’s classics like CCR to the more current like Shinedown), the blues, metal to folk, jazz, big band and even classical. I have also been in one band or another at a near constant from the age of 15 on until about 8 years ago. I was a singer, lyricist, songwriter and also a writer of poetry. I put the musician side of music aside to concentrate on other endeavors but still find some of my greatest inspiration and joy in music. At one phase in my 20’s, music LITERALLY saved my life.
My sister is a Medium. I didn’t really know much about what Mediumship even was until she came out one day and told the family “Hey. So ummm, I am a Medium.” I remember thinking, Ok. Cool. Um, what is that exactly? 1 year later, after my awakening, her intuition told her to reach out and encouraged me to check out Mediumship practice circles online, so I did. And well…all the pieces suddenly fit and for the first time I felt that restlessness of mine subside a bit. I felt at HOME. Now here I am.
Many find it surprising that in High School, having long hair and being an aspiring musician, I was also heavily involved in sports. And I must admit, I was good at it. I was quarterback of my HS football Team. I also was starting pitcher for my HS baseball team. I made ALL STATE pitcher twice and was considered one of the top pitchers in all of the state of Wisconsin, where I was born and raised. I had college scouts watching me by my Junior year. However, much to the surprise and chagrin (and anger) of my fellow teammates, coaches & parents I quit sports middle of my HS Junior year. In hindsight, I now realize my resistance to the success was both human and spirit driven. I didn’t know from a human aspect how to handle the attention (I was shy, insecure and introverted, and never thought I was as good as the hype). On a spiritual level, I was just not meant to pursue the path of a professional athlete. For I believe it would have indeed led to success such as a scholarship to college and even a chance at bringing my athletic abilities to the highest level…but my soul knew I had more important plans and lessons to learn so nudged me away from that path.
