Bios are for people who know who they are; I will be the first to tell you that I am still working on that. I can say however: I am proud of where I come from, proud of where I have been, content to be where I am now, and very excited for the path ahead. Some years ago, during a very difficult turn in life, I found Ram Dass’s "Be Here Now." In a lot of ways, the philosophy and magic held within its pages in tandem with some of the habits I cultivated as a result, saved my life. For the first time in my life, I realized that I was perfect just the way I was and the path of the mystic gave me a chance to experience a little of that everyday. My journey of self discovery has taken me to many corners of our beautiful world, for which I am most grateful. I have sat in circles with sages of many traditions and respect each of them with a deep reverence. For it is those among us striving to find balance, compassion, and awareness that truly have the ability to be a lighthouse for those of us living in confusion or darkness. I am originally from Virginia, the beautiful lands of the Shenandoah and Chesapeake. Ireland is now my home where I live with my lovely wife. I hope you find something meaningful in my musings and fanciful attempts at understanding a truly infinite and mind-bogglingly amazing universe. It is my intention to grow and reach my fullest potential so that I may contribute to love spreading itself and relieving suffering in all corners of our green Earth. The trees and oceans are my home, the stars my muse. Let's go for a walk.
