The Everyday Shaman

I am a formally trained, and certified Usui Reiki Master and Shamanic Practitioner. In addition, I am an ordained, non-denominational minister through the Universal Life Church, and have international certifications in Jungian Shadow Mastery, Advanced Shadow Mastery, Ancient Egyptian Shamanism, Kabbalah, and Spiritual Counseling.

 

I am a published author (The Everyday Shaman) and have a second book in progress detailing many of my shamanic journeys. In addition, I host 'The Everyday Shaman' podcast which is on most podcast streaming sites as well as here.

From age nine,  I felt that I was destined to in some way be of help to others, animals, and the planet. It was at that age that my grandmother told me, "Remember who you are." It took many years and life experiences, some traumatic, before I understood what his she meant.

​

 My life's journey has taken me in many directions - from working in both white-collar and blue-collar environments to  owning my own businesses in a search for purpose. Despite the variety of roles I've had, and the knowledge I'd gained along the way,  I always heard the beckoning of underlying whispers and that 'knowing' I had as a young child - that I was meant to do something more, and to be of service to others and the planet. 

​

I now live in Virginia with my wife, Pamela. We're fortunate to be the caretakers of land once inhabited by the Siouxan Monacans on banks of the historic Rivanna river.
