My Story

---

With an unwavering passion for serving others, I have dedicated over five decades to supporting my family, tribe, community, and the world. As a Life Coach, it is a natural and rewarding skill that allows me to contribute to raising consciousness on our planet, one person at a time. Guiding individuals towards self-discovery and growth, I am humbled by the opportunity to be a catalyst for positive transformation in creating a brighter and enlightened world.

For 30 years, I was immersed in the marketing and sales of high technology to corporate buyers. During that time, I honed my skills in listening to buyers' needs, both present and hidden. Rather than using a persuasive selling technique, I adopted a consultative and coaching style that educated and supported the buyer to optimize their return on investment, trust me, and buy from me.

While my mother raised me as a Catholic, I explored the world of spirituality when I left home at 18. My soul told me that there was much more to be understood and studied in spiritual practices than in a single religious point of view. Humans have always sought to use spirituality to answer the hard questions of "who are we and why are we here." Therefore, understanding human behavior and applying it to transform one's perceptions and potential has been a lifelong passion of mine.

In 1973, I was introduced to Werner Erhard of the EST Training, where I discovered the meaning of mental and emotional shifts into more objective perceptions of the world. Some years later, I listened to Tony Robbins for the first time, and he had similar teachings on positive mindsets and releasing old false beliefs. Both of these teachers were pioneers in providing large workshops for the purpose of human transformation by exploring the emotional and mental perceptions of our belief systems to transform our lives into a better place centered on an objective truth of the world.

Over the years, I consumed hundreds of books on human development, behavioral sciences, spiritual practices, metaphysics, and more. Some of my favorite books and teachers are Carlos Castaneda's Teachings of Don Juan, Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life, Michael Singer's The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment, and classics like Tao Te Ching, the Bible, and the Kabbalah.

In the early 70s, young adults like myself began to look at our lives and culture with an objective view, and sometimes, through the lens of drug counter-culture, we used perception-altering substances like marijuana, mushrooms, LSD, and others that allowed experimental perceptions away from habitual thinking and emotional locks. 

With additional experience and education, I realized that drug use was just another stepping stone to meaningful transformational shifts of human consciousness. Although today, new medical research efforts are finding that psychedelics like MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, Ibogaine, Ayahuasca and others are successfully being used to treat trauma, PTSD, and addiction with higher success rates than other previously used therapeutics.

I entered the world of spirituality through personal meditation practice, which has grown over 40 years. It has provided me with immeasurable benefits of peace of mind, insights, improved health, emotional comfort, and discovering more about myself and the universe every day.

After living a career of high technology, being married to my soul mate, and raising two boys to manhood, I became somewhat lost in my life direction to attaining meaningful work and a hopeful future. I spiraled into a situational depression that left me feeling an emotional flat-line. I not only had consistent feelings of despair and hopelessness, but also, the feelings of joy, laughter, passion, love, and happiness were no longer present.

I embarked on a resolute mission to unravel the mystery and attain the healing I knew was within reach. It all began with the essentials—I sought out a Neurologist to treat and medicate my depression, and a therapist to guide me through transformative conversations. 

It felt as though I devoured every written work on the subject of depression, immersing myself in a deepened practice of meditation. My focus was set on liberating myself from the weight of old false beliefs and suppressed traumas that had kept me down, rather than confronting and releasing them.

Over the course of a year, I rediscovered the essence of joy and found my way back to a fulfilling life. This led me to embark on my new career as a life coach, leveraging the wealth of experiences I had amassed throughout my journey. I yearned to listen to others, allowing them to share their tales of triumphs and tribulations, providing them the gratification of being truly heard. Bearing witness to one's story is a transformative and magical act—one that facilitates healing and personal growth.

I must clarify that I do not claim to be the sole solution or a therapist in the realm of healing and transformation. Rather, I stand as one of many options available to those grappling with life's challenges, be it temporary crises, struggles, or pain. Some of life's most profound lessons and accomplishments arise from these very trials and tribulations. After emerging from the depths, the newfound wisdom and achievements are incredibly rewarding.

I vow to hold you in the illuminating light of your innate creativity, resourcefulness, and wholeness. This perspective will enable us to optimize your progress, drawing from the profound power that has already shaped the extraordinary individual you are.
