About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I wish to become a proficient lucid dreamer

ABOUT ME

I became a surfer while in high school in the late 50's. Upon graduating from High School I moved into a surf shop across from the Huntington Beach Pier. To survive I repaired surfboards and gave surf lessons. Then I became an alcoholic for about 30 years. I got sober Sept.19,1997 moved to Clearlake and opened a Real Estate office. I am now retired and love to spend time in Hawaii, especially Pahoa, hotpond, Kapoho snorkeling, steam caves, health food store, farmers markets and AA meetings at Ahalanui.

PHILOSOPHY

Lately I have been planning for my next life (reincarnation). It has given me the experience of witnessing my "Self" and seeing things that could use improvement. I have determined that in my next life I will be Enlightened and a teacher along with a few other things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While surfing in Mazatlan I saw a large object go under my surfboard, it was the size of a whale and could have swallowed me whole. And guess what, I got hit by a portugese man of war and it almost killed me on the same day, it is probably one of the smallest jelly fish in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I consider myself a spiritual person. I am a listener and not a preacher, I learn from everyone and hopfully those I come into contact with learn something from me
