I have been actively seeking personal growth and a deeper meaning in life since I was a teenager. I have practiced meditation daily for the past 24+ years, totalling over 12,000 hours at this point. In this journey I have read hundreds of books, tried over 80 different techniques, and spent time on retreats with masters and instructors around the world.

All this practice, learning and training has radically transformed my mind and view of the world. As a result, I now live a fearless, peaceful, and fulfilling life.

I’m not a guru or a spiritual master – but a practitioner on the way, sharing the powerful tools and insights that have helped me thus far. I’m the writer behind LiveAndDare, the web's most popular non-sectarian meditation blog, and HigherMind.
