“I am committed to the radical liberation of humanity through a universal spiritual awakening that calls upon our moral imagination and personal development.”
"It all started when...
at the age of 13 I had an awakening in which I realized that the spiritual principles I was exploring actually worked! From that moment on I made the application of spiritual practice my life's devotion. The 35 year journey since then has led me to working with at risk youth, ministry, program management and speaking and teaching around the US and Canada."
