From Engineer to Energy Worker: A Journey of Spirit
My spiritual awakening began when I was eleven years old, walking home from baseball practice in suburban Chicago. I wasn’t in church or at a retreat—I was alone on a quiet street when a voice from within spoke to me: “God does not exist outside of you. God lives within you.” I stopped in my tracks, startled. I had no religious upbringing—my parents were indifferent toward organized religion—so this message shook me. The voice continued: “God is not a male figure in a white robe with a long beard shouting hell, damnation, and thunderbolts!” I didn’t know what to do with what I’d heard. I told my parents, who looked at me and said, “This kid is weird.” We dropped it. But I never forgot.
A Life Reimagined
I went to college, studied engineering, and entered the nuclear power industry. But something inside urged me to change course. After earning my MBA, I joined the Peace Corps and served in Botswana, Africa. That experience sparked a passion for service, leading me into politics. I worked for the U.S. Congress and Senate as a subcommittee staffer and later with the Congressional Research Service. I also lobbied for education and nutrition. On the surface, I was navigating traditional systems—but inwardly, a different journey was unfolding.
Exploring Inner Realms
Throughout the 1980s, I immersed myself in personal growth. I trained with Werner Erhard through est, a self-help program focused on experiential learning. Later, I studied Ontological Design with Dr. Fernando Flores—a framework suggesting that by designing experiences, we are designing who we become. These trainings deepened my awareness of the power of community and transformation.
In the early 1990s, I had my first channeling experience with a healer who brought through a Native American energy. I was moved. This opened the door to transformational breath work, which I later taught in individual sessions, men’s circles, and programs like The Mankind Project. I witnessed breath work help men release old patterns and embody their deeper selves. It was humbling and inspiring.
Vibrational & Spiritual Tools
As I expanded my energetic tool kit, I began working with vibrational flower essences—natural remedies that use the energetic imprint of flowers in water to support healing. In 2001, I connected with Sharon Hamilton, co-creator of Light Expression Essences. These powerful tools support deep transformation by addressing body, mind, soul, and spirit. I continue to use them in my practice today.
The Akashic Records
In 2010, while living in Charlottesville, Virginia, I attended a talk by someone from the Edgar Cayce Foundation. Browsing their book table, I felt an energetic jolt from a book titled Edgar Cayce on the Akashic Records. It felt as though the book smacked me on the forehead, telepathically saying, “Read me!” I did. That very night, I devoured its contents and realized something extraordinary—I could access the Akashic Records naturally. I hadn’t trained or studied them before. I just knew. That discovery changed everything.
Working with DZAR & Light Language
In 2012, I was introduced to a compassionate collective of channeled energies that called itself DZAR (meaning "health" in ancient Hebrew). Channeled by Mary and Gary O’Brien of Australia, DZAR offers guidance for living unburdened by past pain and awakening to our true Light. Through my work with them, I began integrating Light Language into my Akashic Record sessions.
Light Language is a multidimensional form of non-linear communication understood at the soul level. It transcends words, using vibration to initiate clearing and energetic alignment. It may come from our soul, the Earth, or star nations. It is always in the service of our highest good.
Continuing the Journey
Each phase of my life has built upon the last—from engineering to spiritual facilitation. Every experience prepared me to serve others through intuitive guidance, energetic healing, and soul-level communication.
