Stories can hurt. Stories can heal.
But everybody has a story.
Your stories influence your choices, your movements, your relationships...
Because myths give meaning to this human experience.
The most profound questions in life are answered in narratives.

I've loved stories for as long as I can remember.
When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a preacher…or an actor...or an artist. I wanted to tell stories that inspire. I imagined I was Indiana Jones embarking on life’s adventures through mythic symbols. In the footsteps of Joseph Campbell, I aspired to share the world's secrets; mysteries that reveal your purpose and make you feel alive. Because myths give meaning to this human experience. The most profound questions in life are answered in narratives. Your stories influence your choices, your movements, your relationships... Stories can hurt. Stories can heal. But everybody has a story. So, I traveled to six of the seven continents, gathering personal and cultural myths.
I have been broken by the things I have seen. There have been moments of exquisite bliss. |
I have found that real transformation is just one illuminating story away.
I am a story-hunter, a peace warrior, and a Soul Artist.
I am a Mythologist, writing my own story every day.
I want to help you realize your most empowering narrative—a story of gratitude, courage, and Love.
