I
was born in San Diego, California on March 18th, 1961. My parents
had met in San Diego. My mother was from Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and my father from the area of Meridian,
Mississippi. As of this date, they have been married over 48
years! They continue to be my best friends still. I grew up
in the sunny San Diego area for the next 38 years. I grew up in
Imperial Beach and Bonita. Later I moved to Chula Vista and finally
Oceanside. In October of 1999 I moved out to exciting Las Vegas,
Nevada. Las Vegas is a great place. I tell people that I
live in Disneyland because this city can be anything but boring.
Most
people who happen upon this page do so because they want to learn a
little bit more about me. I have had this web site since 1996 in
one form or another. A lot of people who know of me have actually
never met me in person. They have come to know of me through the
Internet. I did something in 1996 they spread through the
Internet and people wanted to know who I was because of it. What
did I do? Read the paragraph below this one and find out!
If you want to know a little more about me, let me start with the
basics... I am 6' 2", brown hair, green
eyes, and one offbeat sense of humor. I was married once for
8 years (no children) and then divorced in 1994. I met the woman
of my dreams in 2005, started dating her in 2006, and married her on
the beach in Maui in 2007! I do seminars and workshops and
have done so in one form another for 20 years now. I also work as
a hypnotist. I love being in the outdoors whether it's taking a
hike outdoors or playing volleyball or snorkeling (and in 2005 while
living in the middle of the desert, I got certified to SCUBA!). I
enjoy playing guitar and singing (I once had the pleasure of singing
onstage with Sting in front of 15,000), cooking (one of my specialties
is fettucini carbonara - an Alfredo with bacon and mushrooms YUM!),
working out (I'm in the gym a good 4 to 6 times a week), and reading
(authors like Og Mandino, Richard Bach, Wayne Dyer, and others).
I LOVE
music. I have very eclectic tastes. Everything from Pop to
Country to Jazz to Mozart to Van Halen. I believe that life is an
adventure and it's filled with opportunities (The trick to life is
making the most of those opportunities). I
believe in angels (I've seen one!). I'm
a hopeless romantic. I believe the purpose of life is to let go
of fears and find new ways to love. I believe in a simple
axiom about life "Love expands, fear contracts, and there is no
question to which love is not the answer". In my field of 
hypnosis and seminars, I've been able to
explore various ways of breaking old paradigms. This has taken me into adventures such as
breaking boards with my bare hand, breaking a cement block with my bare
hand, eating fire, walking on broken glass, breaking an arrow with my
throat, and even standing on top of a 40 telephone pole! (I know, I
wouldn't have believed it myself just 10 years back) I even do seminars now as a
speaker for my own company and others! I have been fortunate
enough to be a part of a regional television show and even host a local
radio show (KLAV - Las Vegas, Nevada). I believe that life is
what you create it to be (ever see "The Matrix"?). So I
continually look to create a more empowering environment for both
myself and those around me.
Perhaps
most people around the world who know me with having met me know me
from something I did on August 31, 1996. It all started when I
met a woman named Danielle in 1994. She and I shared a mutual
appreciation of Sting's music both as a solo artist and as a member of
The Police. My love for Sting's music and my love for that woman
continued to grow. So,
on August 31, 1996... I combined the two. I arranged a minor
miracle. I arranged to be onstage with Sting and perform "I'm So
Happy I Can't Stop Crying" with him (he even let me solo!). Then
he led his band in an extended instrumental introduction to his hit
song, "Fields Of Gold". During this introduction, I stepped up to
the microphone and proposed to Danielle from the stage. She
accepted (The review of that night is located in Mad About You).
Then, on October 2nd (Sting's birthday), she gave the ring back.
So, while that didn't work out, it did bring me a unique
opportunity. First, I have met a great number of fantastic people
who know about Sting's music and second, it was an opportunity to help
others. She and I both realized that we were not meant to be
together, only to travel that brief time together.
So,
why do I have this web site here? One thing about me is that
helping people and teaching people are what bring my life
passion. So when I took some reflection time for myself, I
decided to create the beginnings of this web site back in 1996.
After I received numerous emails from people I had never met telling me
that what I had was helping them, I made a vow to keep this up and keep
expanding it. In fact, if you have a story of a miracle or
one of true love, email it to me.
I'm always looking for something new to add here.
From
this page, you can go to several other web sites I have. First,
is Mad About You - my page about all things Sting (including pics, tabs
and even rare mp3 files). Next
is The Pirate's Bride - my page about all things romantic (including
poems and true life love stories). Next
Is Someone To Watch Over Me - my page for miracle stories. Next is my hypnosis page (here
there is more detailed information on the seminars as well as hypnosis,
what it is, and what you can do with it).
Thank you for taking a part of your day and visiting. If you have stories about true love, miracles, or anything that you have found empowering, feel free to write to me here. I am looking for new stories that help empower other people.

Can you spot what saved my life?
If you are reading this sentence here, you are looking entirely way too darn close!!! Or maybe I should just give you the secret location to the buried millions of dollars in gold. The man told me he buried them at the corner of you didn't still read that too, did you???
