I am a Veteran, husband and father who has walked a raw, authentic path through profound challenges and awakening. Raised in a traditional family without religion, I spent years grappling with deep questions about identity and purpose. Social anxiety, military service, and a difficult transition back to civilian life led to alcohol dependence, depression, and a loss of direction. A rewarding career serving Veterans at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs restored some purpose, yet buried pain and accumulating health crises – Atrial Fibrillation, high blood pressure, gout, chronic pain, migraines, anxiety, and more – left me spiraling and feeling trapped. At my lowest point, I quit alcohol cold and faced an unexplainable spiritual experience that cracked open my understanding of reality. This propelled me to release everything I thought I knew and forge a new path.
Over the past five years, I have fully healed myself of nearly all those conditions. Today I no longer suffer from physical or emotional pain, I’m energetic, medication-free, and healthier and happier than I was a decade ago – while excelling in my VA career, being a devoted husband to my beautiful wife, and a loving father to our two amazing daughters (one with Down syndrome). Through synchronicity, I discovered the “Expanding on Consciousness” podcast and immersed myself in the Cornerstone program. Its practical, experiential approach to consciousness, healing, and self-realization transformed every area of my life. What began as a personal quest became a calling: I trained and now offer this work as a certified Cornerstone facilitator.
I bring a unique blend of lived experience, humility, and genuine care to meditation and personal growth facilitation. Having moved from darkness, isolation, and suffering, into clarity, connection, and vitality – I guide others with empathy and encouragement to explore their own inner truth. I don’t ask you to believe my story or take my word for it – I invite you to experience the practices for yourself. If you’re ready for deeper presence, healing, and self-discovery, I would be honored to facilitate your meditation journey in a supportive, life-affirming space.
