A native of North Carolina and graduate of the NC Outward Bound School, I have lived in the Southwest for over 30 years. After earning degrees in both Business and Cultural Anthropology, I chose to pursue a career as a naturalist, photographer and wilderness guide, spending the next 20 years in the field of outdoor experiential education. Through my intimate knowledge of Native American spirituality I have helped literally thousands of clients find inner peace and emotional freedom by reconnecting with Mother Earth.
At SpiritQuest Retreats our philosophy is perhaps best summed up by this quote from Lao Tzu, known as the Father of Taoism: "If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation."
