I now believe, more than ever, that spiritual awakening (whether you intend to or not) will inevitably unfold within a lifetime - or, over many. ๐It kind of seems like that's where "we" as a race of seemingly separated beings, are heading towards. Some of us are venturing on a serious path of self discovery this lifetime while others may appear not to be.
Either way, if you're on this page and/or, reading this bio, you probably have already begun your journey to some degree! I know that I have and I'm making no bones aboot it!! Lol! (A little Canadian humor!).๐
Young Grasshopper
I've always felt strong connections to other planes of existence - even at a young age. It started with nightly visits from three Native American Indian Chiefs that would perch themselves at the foot of my bed and teach me their ancient tribal songs. I remember one day, my father said, "What are you singing?"๐ต I answered "Oh, the songs I learned from my friends." I went on to tell him about my Indian friends with the feathers on their heads. ๐Well, that got him all worked up. Ya see, my father's bookshelf was filled with literature such as, A Road Less Traveled, Jane Roberts/ Seth speaks, TM (Transcendental Meditation), ๐ Edgar Casey, and even books on alien abductions.๐ฝ Dad, a professional cameraman and editor, regularly went to homes that people thought were haunted and filmed the de-ghosting ceremonies! So, needless to say my dad was already well versed to the idea of alternative and paranormal activities! So off we went to a past life regressionist. The regressionist indeed saw me (in what he said was my latest lifetime) as a Native American Indian medicine man๐น from Buffalo NY. Apparently, I had a son who was killed in battle and I had gone into the mountains and starved myself to death due to the overwhelming pain I was feeling with this great loss. I couldn't have been more than six years old at the time ๐ง but this all seemed pretty normal to me. Soon after the visits stopped, I began to have different types of OBEs (Outer Body Experiences). I just assumed it was a part of growing up.
Abraham and Hicks were my first real introduction to any kind of metaphysical information on self discovery. I had every one of their monthly paperback newsletters. AND, believe it or not, all their CASSETTE TAPES too ๐!! That goes to show you just how long ago THAT was! For many years I submerged myself into the teachings of Abraham. Now remember, this was before the internet so I was pretty much flying solo as far as having anyone, or should I say, absolutely NO ONE to talk to about all the goodies that were opening up to me ๐ค. I bought every book I could afford and get my hands on that had anything to do with awakening to ones true power. In those days it was known as the "Self Help" section in the book stores. I was reading Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Tony Robbins and random books on fear, love, and God. Yep, that's right folks, GOD! ๐ This led me to the next major implosion on my "Who am I?" path. "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsh sent me on what seemed like about 6 months of an anger/confusion spiral!! No joke! It was the first time in my life where I had been introduced to the possibility that WE ARE God and God IS US! ONENESS!This was a new and huge concept to me at the time. I mean, think about it . . . to be completely responsible for everything that was occurring in my lifetime? And, not only this lifetime but ALL other lifetimes too? That there was actually no God figure? Like, it wasn't a man up in the sky or some sort of personality up in the heavens that was dictating every step in my life? Ya mean, I AM GOD??!!? Huh?? What??! ๐ฑThis was a HUGE concept to process - hense the following months of depression and a whole reshuffling of my belief system. ๐ฒ YIKES!! Oh, and, the whole 'I AM GOD' thing? Now I had to figure out who GOD is?! Dang it! This did not seem like an easy task and, at that time, I felt pretty hopeless. Needless to say, I took some well needed time away from any "self-help" anything and dove into my ego driven tasks in my music career๐ถ๐ค that I convinced myself was very important and needed to be attended to.
Entertainer
I lost myself in the trials and tribulations with desires to be a Rock Star one day.๐ My band at the time got signed to a record label in NY, toured all over, won some awards, yada yada yada. That of course led to A LOT more self inflicted highs and lows. It wasn't long though until I began to have some very deep profound experiences of euphoriaโจ in meditation which prompted a whole new internal resurgence of awakening.๐ช I began a very interesting trek into many different kinds of modalities of healing. Rebirthing, Prana Breathing, Kundalini, Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Reiki, Psychics, Tarot Card and Palm Readers, Inner Child Release Treatment, Deep Tissue Emotion Release, ๐ yea.... the list goes on, but you get were I'm going with this.
Body Builder
In 2010 I began my professional bodybuilding career ๐ชand thought that maybe I could understand more about life through the body. I won a bunch of awards, became a nutritional columnist for Iron Man magazine ๐ฝ, got certified in Reiki, Various styles of Massage and Reflexology, etc.
Fitness Trainer
So . . . I decided to open up my own private fitness/healing facility and offer nutrition, training, and various healing treatments to my clients. ๐This was great for a while but I knew something deeper was beckoning me from within. By this time the internet was in full force! Yay!

Countless spiritual healers, authors, andteachers were now accessible via the World Wide Web!! I started listening to a ton of RAM DAS and Eckhart Tolle on YouTube. Soon after that, my partner and I packed up our life in L.A. and moved to MEXICO. Olรฉ!๐ดMy partner stumbled on a book he noticed as we were unpacking and asked me if I wanted to keep it. It was The Infinite Way by Joel Goldsmith.
Something inside me said hell yes! ๐That was the next big body of literature that created another inner implosion. So, from February of 2017 until about middle of 2018, I completely immersed myself in JG! That's short for Joel Goldsmith. Lol!! He was really the first spiritual teacher that open up a whole new level of understanding in regards to the body, the power of the mind, and the Universe and GOD! ๐He spoke about God in a very different way than I had heard before. I found it immensely attractive, comforting, and healing. One of his students, Herb Fitch was also a very big influence in this new found journey of reality and illusion! ๐คI knew at this point that I had hit a mother load! That's when I could start to feel things shifting on a very deep level. All my seeming childhood and past life traumas were now ready to be resurfaced and healed. I could feel old thought patterns, stories and memories begin to bubble up!! Oh yay . . .
Around July of 2018 I stumbled onto an internet based ZOOM group that met once a week and we were discussing lessons and chapters from a book called A Course in Miracles. I had heard of A Course in Miracles a while back but I didn't seem to have a connection to it at that time. A friend of mine told me about another book called The Disappearance of the Universe by Gary Renard. I found it on Audible.com and fell IN LOVE with it.๐ It completely changed my whole perspective on reality, existence, and A Course in Miracles.๐ I immediately purchased A Course in Miracles and began studying the book and practicing the lessons. BAM! ๐No turning back after that folks! Remember when I said old thought patterns and traumas were starting to bubble up? ๐ฅWell, let the s*** fest begin. ๐I honestly had not come across a higher level of spiritual teaching in this lifetime until I began reading A Course in Miracles. It was so in alignment with a lot of what I had learned through Joel Goldsmith and even Conversations With God by Neil Donald Walsh. FINALLY! Some concrete direction and guidance from the one we knew as Jesus 2000 years ago.๐ Talk about bells ๐ and whistles going off left, right and center in my inner Kingdom....! And, just in the nick of time. LOL! Because, from that point on, even though it is taken a sh*tload of courage, inner strength and trust in Spirit ๐, I have begun an intense journey of re-membering and reconnecting with the truth of what I Am, what we ALL are! LOVE! ๐
This undoing of the ego self has allowed me to tap into what heals broken relationships,๐illness, ๐ค depression, ๐addiction and the biggest illusion of all, unworthiness! ๐ขContinually dropping pebbles of love in the pond of awareness is my true passion. ๐This is what gets me up every morning and keeps me excited to be a part of this world.
I have had the wonderful opportunity working and of course 'GEEKIN OUT' with some fabulous spiritual teachers, healers and role models.
