Gen-X, welfare & latchkey kid whose parents prioritized education. Partial scholarship in Music (opera) and added English (teaching). I stumbled into clinical research because I had a college degree and a penis. Followed the data from the exam room to the board room. Picked up an RN degree & had a near-death experience (NDE) along the way - a literal come-to-Jesus moment. Research curiosity persisted so I taught myself SAS, learned the fundamentals of AI at IBM, and taught it to fellow Clinical Data Managers. Simultaneously, I used the same curiosity to dive into NDE research, consciousness research, PTSD related to NDEs, spiritual crisis, and abduction phenomena. I've had some interesting conversations.

Simultaneously, I have been living a paranormal life that I tried to keep on the DL while my parents were alive. Been seeing ghosts since I was 9. Began remote viewing at 14 and remote viewing off-world since I was 19. Worked in two haunted houses in my 20's. Learned I was doing Reiki at 29. Had spontaneous past lives appear at 30. Current count: 14. Was introduced to Silva Method and past life regression therapy in my 30's. Had my NDE at 40 and two shared NDEs soon after.

Following the death of my parents, I became more open about my paranormal self. I am still grounded in evidence-based practice, scientific method, and results supported by data. But, I have seen and done things that cannot be explained with those constructs. It is why I pursue consciousness theory, quantum entanglement, and multidimensional beings. Once I accepted the notion that Earth is an amusement park and educational center for multiple species from multiple places, things started making more sense.

Sharing my musings here and on my YouTube channel as I have a degenerative disease. Short stories and videos are less energy intensive than writing books but I have two out there on Amazon. The Alchemist's Heir is a metaphysical primer for young adults. Guitars, Cigars & Tiki Bars is a thinly veiled autobiography with a sprinkling of dick jokes.
