I have been giving public presentation since fifteen years of age when I shared with a small group of parents and children about the "meaning" of one of our holy days that were being celebrated at that time. Soon after, when our after school Bible teacher resigned, I took over by giving weekly insight into a portion of the Bible to the Junior Congregation. I prepared for each "sermon" by researching various biblical commentaries that my parents are given me as a birthday gift. I was fascinated by the historical, cultural and deeper, esoteric meaning in my biblical studies. From that time until I graduated college my studies included world religions, philosophy, psychology, mythology and mysticism.

After graduation in 1968, I moved from my home in New York City to Berkeley, California. During the next two years, I studied Astrology, Tarot and Tai Chi Chuan and worked as a professional actor in various theatrical troops beginning with improv and ending with scripted plays. Then, as now, I found presenting to a large group of people exciting, energizing and fulfilling. By 1973, I changed career titles and officially hung out my shingle as a professional astrologer.

In 1974, I relocated to the island of Maui where I continued offering professional astrological services and began teaching publicly. To my classes in astrology, tarot and metaphysics, I added introductory classes in the healing arts such as: Homeopathy, Bach Flower Remedies, Essential Oil Therapies and Radionics. During this time, I was fortunate to continue my own studies in the shamanic traditions of the Hawaiian Kahuna.

In 1982 I was invited to teach at Heartwood: California College of the Healing Arts in Garberville, California where I presented classes in astrology, metaphysics and esoteric healing. It was at Heartwood that I was acknowledged with an Honorary M.A. in Esoteric Studies in appreciation of (at that time) my twentY years of synthesis of eastern and western mystical traditions and the teachings of the Hawaiian Kahuna.

When the cold winter descended on Heartwood, I migrated south to the Los Angeles area and developed an international clientele. In addition to my privately promoted classes I also gave presentation at Manly P. Hall's prestigious Philosophical Research Society and many other area metaphysical societies.

In 1986 I gave two presentations at the first United Astrology Congress (UAC '86). One lecture was on Saturn Through the Houses and the second presentation was an experiential Guided Visualization Journey to the Planets. I was also on the public relations committee promoting that gathering which drew almost 1200 people. Since 1983 I have been members of AFAN - Associated Federation of Astrological Networkers and ISAR -the International Society for Astrological Research. I withdrew from subsequent UAC gatherings after I returned to Maui in 1990.

From 1983 until I returned to Maui in 1990, I also gave yearly presentations at the Los Angeles Whole Life Expos. At the Expos I helped organize a metaphysics symposium. And, as public interest in Tantric and Taoist approaches to sexuality was growing, I brought together some knowledgeable people and organized a yearly symposium on enlighten approaches to sexuality. During this time, I also added Tantric and Taoist Sexology classes to my teaching schedule. I was also writing a monthly astrology column for the Whole Life Times magazine, doing many radio interviews and hosted a radio call-in show.

From Jan. 1990 to Jan. 2000 I returned to live on the island of Maui where I continued building my astrological practice locally on island and by providing audio-taped consultations internationally by mail and by telephone. It is during this time period that I immersed myself in the study of feng shui, the 4000 year old Chinese art and science of interior design and placement. I have written feng shui articles for the Feng Shui Journal, the Maui Voice (which I published from 1996-98) and was invited to give presentations at the 2nd, 3rd and 4th International Feng Shui Conferences.
