About Me

My life is a rich tapestry of experiences shaped by faith, challenges, and transformation. Born in 1957 in Oklahoma City, I was the eldest of three children in a loving but deeply religious family. Raised in the Church of the Nazarene, his upbringing instilled strong moral values and created an early conflict between expectation and identity.

My family moved to Japan at eight years old, immersing me in a new culture and awakening my intuitive gifts. These years marked the beginning of my journey of spiritual exploration, where he began to sense things beyond the physical world. Returning to the U.S. in my early teens, I faced the dual challenges of cultural reintegration and discovering my identity as a gay man in a conservative environment. These formative years were filled with internal struggle but also laid the groundwork for his spiritual connection.

At sixteen, I experienced a profound spiritual awakening, hearing what I believed to be the Voice of God. This moment became a turning point, shaping his life’s purpose even as he spent decades resisting its full call. I pursued worldly success through college and early adulthood while grappling with inner doubts about his path. My life took another dramatic turn when I married, fathered two sons, and later faced the challenges of divorce and single parenthood.

Amidst personal struggles, including a battle with depression and moments of financial hardship, I began to listen more closely to the divine voice that had long called me. A transformative experience during a solitary walk deepened my connection with God, reaffirming my purpose and reshaping my outlook on life. This was the genesis of his mantra, Living with the Top Down, symbolizing a life of freedom, authenticity, and joy.

My spiritual journey blossomed further through my work with Landmark Education, where I embraced transformational coaching and leadership roles. These experiences honed my ability to help others discover their potential and rewrite their narratives. Later, my relocation to Oak Island, North Carolina, marked a bold decision to live in alignment with my spiritual calling. Here, I founded Oak Island Publications, authored my first book, God Speaks - A Dialogue, and embraced my role as a spiritual coach and healer.

Throughout my life, I have faced significant health challenges, including breast cancer and heart surgery, as well as the loss of loved ones. Despite these trials, I remain deeply rooted in my faith, finding strength and purpose in helping others navigate their own journeys of self-discovery and healing.

Today, my life is a testament to the power of transformation, faith, and resilience. As a father, son, entrepreneur, and Christian man, I continue to embrace my calling to guide others toward lives of purpose, joy, and abundance while staying true to my own spiritual journey.

I am a father, son, entrepreneur, and Christian man—a multifaceted individual shaped by the experiences, relationships, and choices that have defined my life. Each role I embrace carries its own challenges and joys, yet my unwavering commitment to growth, love, and faith unifies all.

My journey has been one of profound self-discovery, marked by moments that tested my resilience and reshaped my understanding of purpose. From the depths of loss to the heights of spiritual awakenings, I’ve navigated a path filled with unexpected turns, hard-won victories, and the kind of clarity that only comes from facing life’s trials head-on.

Central to this journey has been the practice of listening to the divine voice within—a voice that has guided me through seasons of doubt, illuminated hidden truths, and inspired me to embrace my calling. This inner dialogue with God has transformed my life and awakened a deep desire to help others uncover their divine potential. I believe each person has a unique purpose, and my mission is to assist them in rediscovering it.

Whether as a coach, healer, or storyteller, I strive to create spaces where individuals can break free from limiting beliefs, heal past wounds, and align with their truest selves. I hope that through sharing my journey and offering my support, others will find the courage to step into their own transformation, guided by the wisdom and love that resides within them. Together, we can embrace the beauty of living authentically and the power of creating a life imbued with purpose, faith, and joy.
