About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To teach the world to meditate and give them the tools to free their own minds

ABOUT ME

A yogi on the path following where it leads.

I try to see all beings as equal expressions of the infinite, but I make mistakes like anybody. I love to travel, I adore the sun, I like to sit in silence and watch the world doing it's thing.

About to study a massage certification course and looking for a good school in a cool town.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

"My worship is of a very strange kind. In this, Ganga water is not required, no special utensils are necessary, even flowers are redundant. In this puja all Gods have disappeared and emptiness has merged with euphoria." - Lahiri Mahasaya

Music, Movies, and Books

The Life of Brian, Amelie, Buddha's Lost Children!!!

Autobiography of a Yogi, In Tune with the Infinte, This is Reality, The Chasm of Fire, I Am That, Shantaram.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Road tripping across the USA in a 4WD, meeting real old time Americans, hanging out with strangers, communing with sacred land and really feeling that Life is my journey, guide and companion.

Several trips backpacking and drifting through India, more of a hard, fast education than a holiday.

Just spent 5 years helping my wife with her plastic surgery lractice in Jacksonville, everything from management, web design and advertising to construction and fixing blocked toilets. I solve problems.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a meditation teacher in the Kriya Yoga tradition as represented by Paramahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi)and Roy Eugene Davis. I will gladly teach anyone to meditate effectively. I have a good knowledge of yoga philosophy I can also cook good vegetarian and vegan food.

Like to play didge and djembe, but it's been a long time. Love to skate my longboards.
