Background:
Raised on an Iowa farm, I spent my summer afternoons in corn fields daydreaming of adventures in faraway lands. At seventeen, while war raged in Southeast Asia, I joined the Army and graduated from West Point as an airborne paratrooper. But my years of duty were spent staring at Russian machine guns during the Cold War.
Much of the next twenty years saw me as a road warrior for an oil company traveling to every God forsaken corner of the world: Nigerian savannas, Saudi Arabian deserts, Sumatran jungles of Indonesia -- and even Bakersfield, California.
Always known for fantastic storytelling, I kept the entire office intrigued and rolling with laughter from my adventures. I finally ended my travels and set on a path to deliver the Third Eye Trilogy.

Therapist and IANDS
When I first started writing the Trilogy I had difficulty accurately describing past life regressions from the eyes of both the practitioner and subject. To help with this, I had actual past life regressions performed by certified past life regression therapists. This experience continued with meditative self-regressions. I built a diary map of my own past lives, whether real or fabricated in my mind.
To learn even more, I went back to school to became a certified and registered hypnotherapist, specializing in past life regressions. I actively perform past life regressions similar to what Clay and Shali did in the Third Eye Trilogy. I find myself amazed at what and how the human mind recalls or perhaps how it creates past lives. If it is purely imagination, I am astounded at what the mind can create.
Because of my interest in what happens after death I began volunteering for the 40 year old International Association for Near Death Studies (IANDS). I was on the Board of Directors for six years and president for two years at IANDS. After working with hypnotherapy to access the inner mind and probe into what may be the afterlife, my interests in this area drove me to work with studies for aiding people who have died and returned from the "other side". Believe me, they have seen more and brought back more knowledge than the rest of us will ever know until we leave the physical realm of existence.
Dealing with so many "enlightened" individuals has tremendously opened my eyes to the real world around us; often not the one that we are led to believe.
I have discovered that there is truly one reality for every one and every thing. It must be explored.
