People often ask me whether I was born a Medium and the answer is Yes. As a child I had the gift of seeing and hearing things others couldn't - this frightened me so I subconsciously blocked it out. However throughout my life I always felt I had a "friend" - a native American Indian lady and a wolf - who always seemed to guide me through difficult times. I grew up and followed various careers but nothing seemed to be "me" and I was continually looking for fulfilment in my work. I married my wife Bernice when I was 24 and had my first child, my beautiful daughter Samantha a year later. Four years later God blessed us with our precious son Jason. I was very content with my life and established a successful landscape gardening company, which we ran for many years. Throughout this period I took up my passion for martial arts and body building and won many awards. Unfortunately this all came to an end when I had a series of unexplained leg injuries which never fully healed. This in turn was the demise of my successful company. Life, suddenly, became very diffiucult. My wife had always had an interest in going to see medium demonstrations but had never had any messages. One evening I was dragged along to see a well known Medium who delivered a strange message to me. He told me I would be doing the same work as him within a few years. I laughed and told my wife that it was a load of rubbish. Within a week I was to receive the shock of my life.
I woke up on Sunday morning to find I was being spoken to by a man from the Spirit World who introduced himself as Dr. Hoffman. Strangely enough I was not unduly surprised by this although my family were. My wife was concerned that I may be having a nervous breakdown until I told her many facts about her mother who had passed over when she was 10 years old. That night I, with my family to support me, visited a local Spiritualist Church. I told my family about people I could see (spiritually) in the church and was amazed when the platform medium confirmed this. After this I spent a few years within the Spiritualist Church developing and understanding my gift.
Throughout these years I tried to keep my gift as a "hobby", but found every business venture I attempted seemed to be destined to fail, pushing me in the same direction all the time. I was asked to give private readings and started to attend Mind, Body and Soul events where I made a lot of friends who encouraged me to establish myself as a professional medium. I hesitated at first doubting my abilities but, through the constant support of family, friends and, most importantly of all, my Spirit Guides I finally took that leap of faith and have never looked back. I have now found that fulfillment that I searched for.I work in an unusual way. I can simply hear, I see, I feel and I know. It's very hard to describe I just seem to know things.I have worked with the "Most Haunted" team and David Wells, whilst I was working for Rupert Mole Ghost Tours and I have worked with Richard Felix in Derby. I have worked alongside various Paranormal Investigators who have constantly been amazed at readings, orbs etc. that appear around me. I have always been prepared to undergo any tests that any scientist or parapsychologist wishes me to take. I've even done readings blindfolded so as not to be seen to "read" body language and responses.I have also become the resident medium for the oldest pub in Derby - Ye Olde Dolphin Inne - built in 1530 AD.Back in October 2007 at a show I was spoken to by the grandmother of a young girl and it turned out she had been abused as a child by a neighbour and she had never told anyone. It all came out and it turned out that other girls had been abused by him as well. It went to court in May 2008 and in June 2008 the man was finally sentenced to 5 and a half years jail. The case was covered in "The Sun" and many other papers around the country. People have criticised me for telling my story to the papers but the girls and their families themselves are all for me doing it and I have been given their "Blessings" even though they are not interested in doing anything in papers and magazines. Apart from that due to my mediumship and the message from the Grandmother this paedophile was removed from the streets and maybe other girls have been saved and of that I am very proud. I have children and I wouldn't want anything like that happening to my daughter.My main passion is to prove to people that the Spirit World does exist and there is life after death. Death is just the beginning.........................................
