He often perceives physical sensations that mirror the traits, emotions, or ailments of the communicating spirit, adding depth to his messages. His connection with spirit began in childhood, including a formative experience six months after his mother’s passing. Raised in a Christian household, he later became involved with the Spiritualist Church and trained with Rob Brown and Mavis Pitilla, as well as at the Arthur Findlay College in England, where he met his wife, Natalie. He is the author of Dying into the Arms of Love and holds titles that include Reiki Master, Reverend, Teacher, Therapist, Life Coach, Master Energy Colour Healer, and state-licensed hypnotherapist with diplomas in Hypnotherapy, Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Transpersonal Hypnotherapy.
