Published under his own name, Encounters with Isis: A Wayfarer’s Notes on Her Teachings, narrates transformations transpired during thirteen years abroad in West Africa and Indonesia.*

His first work of fiction, Roki and the Blue Glass Bead, was broadcast by the BBC World Service, in the Fall of 1992.

He now resides in the hometown of his birth in Michigan devoted to the study of esoteric spirituality, and giving the occasional lesson in Awareness Through Movement and Functional Integration, the somatic work developed by Moshe Feldenkrais.

His favorite quote is the motto of the Hanseatic League, translated from the Latin: It is not necessary to live; it is necessary to sail the seas
