Invite Me to Speak
I am a former U.S. Army Ranger, meditation practitioner, and artist whose life changed dramatically after a near-death experience in which I broke my neck underwater and encountered six angels. During my recovery, I felt compelled to pick up a needle and thread and begin sewing, despite having no formal training.
Since then, I have devoted thousands of hours to creating a monumental Tree of Life tapestry inspired by Buddhism, Christianity, nature, and the world's wisdom traditions. My journey has taken me from military service to meditation, from near-death to creativity, and from personal healing to sharing a message of peace with others.
In my talks, I share stories of resilience, spiritual transformation, sacred art, meditation, and finding purpose through life's greatest challenges. My presentations are heartfelt, inspiring, and grounded in lived experience.
My talks often touch on:
-
My near-death experience and recovery from a broken neck
-
The healing and transformative power of creativity
-
The creation of my monumental Tree of Life tapestry
-
Buddhist meditation and inner peace
-
Finding meaning, purpose, and resilience through adversity
-
The common threads connecting the world's wisdom traditions
-
Transitioning from Soldier to Meditator
I am available for conferences, retreats, podcasts, schools, spiritual gatherings, and community events.
May all beings be free from suffering. If my story and work might serve your audience, I would be honored to speak at your event.
