Author bio

I am a shamanic practitioner, member of The Foundation for Shamanic Studies, ordained multi-faith minister, and former certified personal trainer...among other things. Father of two and grandfather of four, I reside in North Little Rock, AR where I practice out of my home. I was born in Little Rock on March 11, 1959, and raised Catholic--old-school Catholic--attending 12 years of private education concluding with Little Rock Catholic High (For Boys). Although I had a free ride at Arkansas Tech, I opted for life experience including 13 years with Union Pacific Railroad. I returned to college later in life to graduate summa cum laude from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway with an Associate of Arts and a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. However, it was my study of World Religions at the Honors College at UCA that prompted me to begin exploring a more spiritual path ultimately leading me to the formal study of shamanism. As you will read in Simpatico, that was just the beginning of an interesting journey that evolved along the way.
