about me
Lives in the middle of Hollyweird, Currently lives alone in a great apartment in the middle of the Silverlake Scene in Los Angeles. Fully employed, empowered and spiritual. Acitve in the Gay scene as an Artist, writer, Bear-chaser, traveler and urban jet-setter.Psychic, Dreamer, Big Eater and Sex Fiend are some of my other sides that i explore in this big wonderful diverse World!

My wheel of the Year, includes several trips to my favorite places.1st would be to Yosemite every year for 5 days of camping, spiritual practices, hiking and being with friends and family, 2nd would be to Sequioa, to commune with the Elder Trees and spirits of the High Mountains. 3rd would be to Burning Man, I love the potential and the highest energy there of the events and Art; especially the people and spiritual events. 4th would be to Big Sur to commune with the Ocean and the Water there; i usually cleanse there with detox and my own spa treatments. This is going to be my first year going to Lightning in a Bottle Festival also. My favorite city is London.

Currently, employed at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in WEHO, been here 11 years as Gift Buyer of stuff from around the world; such as, incense, candles, statues and religious items. The best part is meeting all the celebrities, gurus, church heads, buddhist monks and spiritual awakened ones that visit often. I've even met Ascended Masters that have come here! Ask me about that one!

My spiritual practices are varied. But I consider myself a Shaman Oracle Healer. My spiritual teachers are: My Spiritual Goddess Mother is Ammachi, and my spiritual God Father is H.H.Dalai Lama. I spend once a year with Ammachi when she visits in June, with Darshan and Meditation, she gave me my spiritual Name and Mantra. I have done several teachings with His Holiness the Dalai Lama, I have taken the White Tara, Green Chintamani Tara, Vajrasattva and Bodhisattva Vow Initations with him over several years. Last year he blessed me on my Birthday when i visited/teachings in SF for 5 days. Every Year, i make the effort to visit them and learn.
I have studied with various Shaman teachers over the years from Mexico, Native North American, New Mexico and Spain. I consider myself still a learner and pass on my lessons to my current 4 students with Humility and sincerity.

I grew up here in Los Angeles, and love the multi cultural and faceted life here in the City. You can find me at the Rose Bowl Swap meet, at the Grove checking out the Movies, walking/talking to friends on the Venice Broadwalk, Eating the the Bright Spot or just hanging out at the Faultline or Eagle on the Weekends.

Look for my two books coming out this April! And i'm working on a TV show for this Fall!

Indifference, snarkiness, rudeness, uncaring Burners are everywhere, here and on the playa!
We have to care about gay pride, awareness and being in the public forefront to make change. See what happened to Prop 8!
I'm more than ever convinced to bring our Gay Pride parade to BRC this year!

I'm excited that i'm leaving in the morning to Sf for this event. Eventhought i'm going broke and with little cash, i'm happy to see my friends and fellow bears at the host hotel. I'm sharing the room with my best bud, Dan and a fellow Facebook friend, Julian is coming in from Australia! I'll post some pics when i return.
