I received a Bachelor of Science and Master degrees in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics. I spent 16 years designing and managing flight control systems, avionics and cockpits for The Boeing Company. I then joined the US Government’s Senior Executive Service where I spent nine years in various director positions for the US Army and NASA research and development organizations. For the last 16 years of my business career I was the CEO of Cobham Defense Electronic Systems Corp, a company I founded and grew into the world’s leading defense microwave corporation, which at my retirement had a billion dollars in annual sales and over 3500 employees.
However, throughout my business career I spent my spare time seeking answers to questions like: who was I, where was I, and why was I here. I studied all the great religions in an attempt to learn the nature of their origin and their founding principles.
Philosophy seemed like a fertile source of wisdom so I started in the west with the ancient Greeks like Plato and Pythagoras and worked my way up to Emerson. I then studied Eastern philosophies, which offered excellent insights. Curiously, it seemed the older the philosophy the more enlightened it was.
Mainstream science was part of my education so I was exposed to those tenets early in life and often. But science focuses on the physical world and I figured if the source of the physical world is spiritual, then finding reality’s truths without considering its spiritual aspects would be a futile effort.
I concluded that if religion, science and philosophy could not construct a rational view of reality, then the answers needed to come from elsewhere.
I found that for centuries psychics, mediums, channels, remote viewers, near-death-experiencers, etc, had been offering a fascinating and consistent perspective on the spiritual world from first-hand experiences, and usually by highly reliable sources. But like any source, verifying the reliability of ESP reports was paramount.
After sifting through reams of data, a consistent pattern of potential truth began to emerge that separated itself from the rest of the information. After retiring from the business world I wrote “The Endless Journey” and for two years I hosted “The Common Sense Spirituality Show”, which was a weekly internet radio program, where I was exposed to a group of fascinating people. I also did a weekly podcast called “Aspects of Spirituality”, and hosted the Sanibel Metaphysical Meetup Group.
After a lifetime of study not only did the multitude of disparate information begin to make sense, it turned out to be a truly good news story. I always had the feeling that truth would be positive, but the answers I found were far beyond my wildest dreams.
