About Me


Holy Sh!t!....

how I did it From the depths of southern New Jersey, I was a “typical” athlete, lover of the outdoors, personal trainer, college graduate, and successful salesman. ....

In 1997, just before my 26th birthday, devastating symptoms and professional diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis shattered my world. ....

....

To little avail, I tried some of the western and alternative approaches of healing. ....


In 1999, after another horrible “flareup” of illness that nearly incapacitated me, I became open and enlightened to our ability to allow a healing. I put my trust, not in any one religion, but in Nature/Spirit/God, and Its divine river of truths and natural tools within all. ....

....

I started an influenced, but original daily spiritual practice. In addition to breathing properly and praying, I ate mostly raw food, practiced yoga, meditated, and even frequently fasted. Ultimately, I re-created a natural aura of protection. My symptoms not only reversed, but I felt better than ever. I even still indulge in moderate amounts of “naughty” human fun.....

....

On June 8th, 2003, me and my dog Jerry began hiking the Appalachian Trail near Maine's Mount Katahdin. We traveled over 1500 miles on rugged terrain, and passed virtually everyone. Our last month in our original church, we covered over 25 miles per day, 6 days a week. I did this to prove that the laws of nature, if followed, can not only potentially heal us, but bring us blessings beyond belief . I attracted and married my beautiful true love Sandy in 2006. The 2nd edition is coming soon! ....

....

“Remarkable” “Inspiring” "Original” “Mystical and Hilarious” “Widely Informative” “Faith restoring” “An essential voice of a generation” ....
