About Me

  • I recently retired from a 25-year career in quality management in the manufacturing industry. I was ordained as an independant New Thought minister by The Home of Truth Spiritual Center, a denomination of the New Thought movement of the mid 1800s.

    I currently serve as Board of Trustees Chair for the Alameda Spiritual Living Center - http://alamedaslc.org  

    My guest speaking messages combine New Thought and an InterFaith philosophy of Truth in all religions and I practice a Mystic Christian Meditation.

    In December 2007 I self-published my first book “My Journey with Cala” and established a publishing business - Hummingbird Spirit Publishing – as my ‘retirement career’.

    “I strive to enjoy whatever I am doing. There is something Divine to be experienced in every task, no matter how small or menial that task is.”
