Growing up in New York, as a much younger child of older parents and siblings, I became an independent, skeptical thinker. Repelled by team activities and group-think, I started mountaineering at 13, was climbing in the French Alp at 16, and on my first Alaskan expedition at 17.

After working for NASA as an undergrad in California, and getting a PhD in quantum physics in Texas, I started a small business software development firm that created custom software for middle-size businesses. For 20 years, I wrote, documented, patented, trained, supported, and offered consulting for enterprise-wide automation.

During this time, I visited and lived in indigenous cultures in the jungles of Ecuador, the islands of the Caribbean, and the deserts of Mongolia. These explorations led to religious, psychedelic, and altered state experiences in these cultures, learning about, taking, and making psychedelic mixtures of salvia, mescaline, psilocybin, and ayahuasca.

Using my computer background, I began exploring psychology and brain science. I apprenticed with three neurofeedback therapists, offered brain training at free clinics and for hire, and published in trade and academic journals on neuropsychology. Going more deeply, I gained certifications first as a hypnotherapist and then as a clinical counselor.

I have two ex-partners and two sons. I live with one son and a cat in British Columbia, while my other son lives with his mother in New York. I would love to bring the family together again.
