MY PERSONAL SOUL ADVENTURE & DEVELOPMENT
I had no vision, plan, or even a 'wanting' before becoming a Clairvoyant Medium, Spiritual Advisor, Radio Show Personality, Metaphysical Teacher, or Hiking Guide! Doing readings, radio, spiritual hikes, workshops, and mentoring others in the fields of Metaphysics and Spirituality that was for other people! After several years of 'soul searching,' learning, exploring, and discovering many beautiful experiences from what is 'unseen,' the Universe, time to heal, and my eventual 'choosing' of my life path became apparent as it unfolded right in front of my eyes and felt like the right thing to do! I had worked hard for many years as my life goal to become a professional firefighter/paramedic, even scoring number one in the eight-month testing process for the Seattle Fire Department, only to discover my physical body/back could no longer perform the duties required of the job and my early retirement from the fire service. My grandma was right when she told me, "The future we imagine for ourselves is not always exactly how we picture it and want it to be."
Most people have lost someone close to them, and a few of us may have been witness to a Near Death Experience (NDE). I not only have lost more than a few close friends and family, but I have had not one but two near-death experiences (NDEs) in my life. At some point, one has to wake up and realize there is a larger picture to our lives while here on Earth and that death is not the end of our lives but just the next step in a natural progression and flow of life. This is my story and how a series of tragic events in my family and two near-death situations turned my world upside down and put me on the life path that I am today. As an intuitive coach, spiritual advisor, and clairvoyant medium, I work with people in both group and personal readings, spiritual workshops, and on-one mentoring throughout the year to help bring forth balance, direction, positive energy, healing, hope, peace and understanding for those who are "Prospecting," open-minded and are seeking a more fulfilled life. Everything is connected, and whatever we do to the tree of life, we do to ourselves. I can't and will not try to offer you the "Meaning of Life,"but I can guarantee we will "Prospect"together to further explore and discover that spiritual gold through body, mind, and spirit.
My "Spiritual Prospecting" actually began some years back when I was given a front-row seat to the pain, suffering, and sadness of losing both of my brothers in the same week to murder and brain cancer. My younger brother, Michael, at the young age of 21, was taken from us (in his own home) when a robbery went sideways, and my older brother, Todd, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the age of 33 that very same week. If life couldn't get any worse for my family, my wife, Jenni, and I were witness to the rapid decline of Jenni's father, Don, as he slowly passed away from the horrible disease, Multiple Sclerosis, at the young age of 48. Think of it emotionally as watching the movies of your life, 'Saving Private Ryan' meets 'Brian's Song' meets 'Terms of Endearment' meets 'The Green Mile,' all at the same time!
I knew very little of living a spiritual life or tapping into "my natural abilities," and was very lost as I did not know how to respond, understand, process, or analyze all the tragic events that were unfolding in my life and went through the motions and beliefs of a Western religion taught to me in school in the United States (think about where you live in the world as this can dictate what your belief system is, which drives your reality), my childhood upbringing of church on Sunday's, or reading inspiring, historical messages out of a leather-bound book. There are many excellent historical books out in the world that are much older than the bible. There are many pathways to what we would call God, such as a higher consciousness, the spirit, the universe, etc. I teach "prospectors" to be open-minded and explore, discover, and make their own decisions and conclusions for what is best for their lives! I have learned that prayer is religion and spirituality through meditation, which is listening back and is a two-way street, done through love and learning, no matter your beliefs. Something was still missing for me, however, especially after two close encounters with death, one as a small child and one as an adult. This was the birth of The Intuitive Prospector and my spiritual practice.
My search intensified for answers to what I was experiencing, feeling, hearing, and seeing from those who have crossed over and sit on the other side of the spiritual veil and still communicate with us if we are open to it! I also found out these abilities do run in my family history. I do believe and teach that all of us have special, natural abilities while here on earth; my hope and intent is to express, share, inspire, teach, guide, and help others through my personal and professional life experiences, stories, education, and knowledge in the fields of Spirituality, Metaphysics, death and dying or what I call transference or transitioning. I accomplish the work for the spirit through my spiritual practice in Seattle, Washington, my radio show, Inspired Living, local hikes, personal readings and mentoring, fun and intuitive workshops, end-of-life consulting, and spiritual advising. After several years of learning, study, development, self-reflection, guidance, confidence, and trust, I started to accept my intuitive gifts (and myself as a soul), realizing that I was not crazy and needed to be "checked in." When I explored deeper into spiritual consciousness, I discovered much about myself and the world around me, and many of my questions were being answered! L.I.F.E. (Learn It From Experience)Lessons has been my best teacher and mentor for growing, healing, transforming, and the caterpillar's long, patient journey and perspective, working hard through the many struggles of life to become and morph into the beautiful butterfly with a whole new and higher perspective!
Through intense biofeedback sessions, past life regression therapy, intense hypnotherapy sessions, weekly grieving counseling, advanced spiritual-medium training, graduate-level education at the University of Washington for sports medicine and human performance, and personal mentoring with some of the best in their respective fields, it became apparent where my life path was now taking me! My focus, education, intent, and application of new spiritual goals, education, and abilities, learning and growing from those very dark "T.N.T. Days"(Trauma and Tragedies) that blew up my "normal" life with so much sadness, anger, depression, deep grieving, chaos, murder trials, uncertainty, survivors guilt and having to witness the slow and painful process of death and dying for my loved ones and what follows in the years after such events have been to change this appearance and bring more awareness in society that it is ok, natural, healthy and yes even "cool," to be sensitive, have empathy, mindfulness and mental health awareness to our surroundings and the world we all share. We need to feel and know the love, energy, frequencies, and vibrations that exist all around us and are integral to the human experience and what follows when we die and live again!
Just to be clear, I no longer fear or worry about death as a loss or being gone forever but a new beginning and a much deeper perspective on the many steps up the long staircase for our evolution, ascension, and alchemy of human consciousness, memories, energy, and eternal love that does indeed go on after what we humans refer to as death. This unique, ancient, and extraordinary life path offered me many gifts, insights, and spiritual abilities to share and help others, and it was something I would have never imagined as a young boy for my future self. Every day, I experience the "true life force" that binds all of us together, just like collective branches on the eternal tree of life or what I love to call our daily "soul adventures of healing, transformation, and ascension!"
Life is short, so carpe diem, and along the way, be kind, caring, and compassionate to ourselves, others, and our planet and I promise you the fantastic diamond within, along with the many hidden gems of life, will be revealed to those who choose to go "prospecting" on the three Cs of life:
Make a CHOICE.
Take a CHANCE.
Experience the CHANGE!

Happy Prospecting and Many Blessings,

Through my career and much interaction with death and dying, including my own Near Death Experience (NDE) in a river accident, being present and holding my grandma's hand at the actual time of her passing, and the tragic loss of both my younger brother, my older brother, and my father-in-law, I have been given a front row seat to what society calls death. For those of us who work in spirit, we call this "discarnate" or existing without a physical body or "passing," which implies the movement from one state to another. Both professionally and along with my personal experiences with death, the discarnate and those who have passed on have created, conditioned, and enhanced my passion to not only be in service to spirit but to "Explore & Discover through Body, Mind, and Spirit," of what is unknown or unseen and be the best messenger of spirit I can be, with the time I have left. I know and feel that this life is not the end, but it is just one leg of an extraordinary journey and a true Soul Adventure!
