“Natural law is the imprint of God’s light within us” — St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologiae, I–II, q. 91, a. 2)

From mathematician at Harvard, to muslim in Morocco, to meditating yogi, I found Jesus after a personal crisis left me in deep need of the Lord. Returning to my roots in the Catholic Church, I now use my passionate academic skills to present classical Christian philosophy & theology in engaging, practical language for modern use.

I live in Asheville, NC with my wife and 8 kids. I am passionate about helping the ‘spiritual but not religious’ crowd rediscover and appreciate the wisdom of unity in the body of Christ.

For the past 20 years I have directed professional training programs in health & wellness education that has given me a unique window into behavioral change models especially those that involve core beliefs.

I have experience raising venture capital and in all aspects of business from marketing strategy, brand tactics, and sales, to human resources and operations in the educational sector that make me a unique candidate for quickly ramping up a national program for radical change in both adults and youth.

For the past 11 years I have studied the vision of St. Thomas Aquinas as it pertains to a vision of the human person, scholastic models explaining the reality of God and the spiritual world, and an academic vision of human happiness, the passions, the virtues, and the vices.

These I have used to build a mental health coaching certification course for priests, spiritual advisors, lay mental health professionals, students, and last but not least, interested lay Catholic in the domestic church.

My formal academic training is in computer engineering and mathematics from Harvard university, giving me the analytical skills to advance and defend classical Catholic philosophy within mainstream academia.
