I began at Allegheny College in PA studying psychology and switched to the religion department at Hendrix College, focusing on comparing all the universal worldviews, principles, and practices of the world's religions. In sum, my background is "psycho-spiritual" with a focus on the universal laws that, when followed consistently, lead to a life filled with happiness, health, harmony, and wealth. I also have been a p/t comedy juggler since the early 1990s, spreading laughter and joy to literally thousands of audiences from NY to LA.
