Every life has a purpose. One greater than what you think or are even able to see yet. Yes, yours, mine, everybody's.

We're all here to learn, grow, and develop into something beyond ourselves -- to expand our self-awareness, explore, and provide value to our immediate world as we have fun doing it (yes, what's the point of life if you're not having fun while living your own Odyssey?).

Ever since I hit my first deliberate, "mind-controlled" home run at 12-years old, my interest in conscious creation, and the principles behind manifestation (how sustained, consecutive, thought & feeling create your own reality) has taken center stage in my life.

My overriding mission in life—the kind of purpose-driven passion that causes me to smile as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning—is ...


To connect with energetic, outside-the-box thinking, prosperity-minded, deliberate attractors -- personal empowerment authors, manifesting mentors, and teachers of higher-learning -- who have the knack to teach the so-called 'unexplained' and make it 'explainable' ... and applicable to our own personal growth and development.


Ever since being a small rambunctious kid growing up in southern California, when my mother used to call me "Curious George", I've always had an extraordinary desire to learn more about life. From asking the questions nobody really talks about to being fascinated by the people around me who, well, just plain do things and go about life differently, I now finally know why a close friend recently slapped the 'Fox Mulder of Manifestation' label on me.

From the day I separated from the Navy as a squared-away 6-year Cryptologist (our motto: 'In God We Trust, All Other We Monitor') to the day I made a vow to quit walking thru life like a mind-numbed mummy and start studying the habits and techniques of the people who create the makings of their world the way they want it - when they want it - I realized those 'wandering & searching' years served a purpose.

But, that's another story for another time.

For now, just know that this page you're reading, and the rest of the contents of this site, has resulted from an inspirational dream and the many people who have come to me to play their role in making it happen.

I currently spend my day scouting out, getting to know, and making friends with the movers and shakers of the metaphysical, spiritual and new thought arena. When I'm not writing articles, conducting new conversations or facilitating conference calls, I ensure my sense of balance and lifestyle by swimming laps at our local health club, taking a class (Yoga or Aikido), or traveling to a seminar. TV is rare and newspapers I try to stay away from. Give me access to an idea-dripping marketing blog or cutting-edge Internet marketing e-letter and I'm happy. :-)

My life growing up was a lot like everybody else's – I was told to work hard in order to get ahead, and I spun my wheels for years doing that. I thought anybody not suffering was not accomplishing anything, and I felt some perverse pride in being a “starving artist” and doing what I loved just because I loved it, even if I had to do something else to pay the bills.

One concept I could never get my head around was, “do what you love and the money will follow.” I won several levels of Toastmasters speech contests with a humorous speech that looked at why I had been doing what I loved for over 10 years already... and was STILL waiting for the money to follow.

Eventually I figured out that it was because I was only doing what I THOUGHT I loved – being a broadcast journalist – but that what I REALLY loved had not yet become evident to me.

What the journalistic pursuits allowed me to do was satisfy my need to know and the curiosity about life that drove me. It also let me live out my natural desires to communicate with people; and yet not to necessarily be the medium to the message, or an active participant in that message, but the catalyst to giving it life and bringing it to an audience.

And while I searched for what I really wanted to investigate, I continued to wonder why some people seem to succeed so easily, while others face hardships no matter how hard they try.

Nearly every interview I ever did – and I did thousands of them – contained a question to the effect of, “what does it take to be a success doing what you do?”

And that core question has shaped me more than anything else I have ever said or done, into the person with an undying search for understanding and enlightenment in the way that the world truly works... and the person who is not afraid to ask it.

But the more I discovered about life, the more it seems I had to activate that born-and-bred belief that you need to suffer to get ahead. So I manifested health problems that would allow me to suffer physically as I kept climbing my personal mountain of goals (which may sound ridiculous when I put it that way, but it's what most of us do without even realizing it).

I don't remember what prompted me to pick up Louise Hay's “You Can Heal Your Life” in a used bookstore, but reading it made me understand for the first time that I had created the health problems that I had previously wanted to blame on outside forces. I just hadn't yet found the key to solving it, and deep down I guess I didn't want to.

But what that book did was set me on the path towards metaphysical teachings, and straight towards a speaker named Michael Losier who made a special appearance at a Toastmasters event – and marked the first time I ever heard of the Law of Attraction, which gave new drive to my personal quest into the inner workings of the world.

Over the next few weeks I practiced using what I understood about the Law of Attraction, with spookily accurate results time and again. When I finally stopped manifesting exactly what I wanted – when I wanted – was when I allowed doubt to creep in and tell me, “This is too good to be true. You really can't do what you're doing.”

I have since learned that the little voice who sabotaged me is the ego – who wants to keep things the same so I'll be safe, but as a result doesn't let me soar to the heights I'm capable of. Again, it seems ridiculous when it's spelled out, but we've all got that ego keeping us in check, and it's one of those factors that lets some get ahead easily while others struggle through life.

Fortunately, I didn't let my ego – or the naysayers around me – knock me off track when I was hit with a blindingly obvious metaphysical whack over the head that told me what I was supposed to do with my life. It came a few days after listening to Jack Canfield talk about inspired action on a teleseminar – and it was the birth of “Success Unwrapped”.

“Success Unwrapped” was always meant to be a book featuring interviews with success experts answering all the questions I had about getting ahead and manifesting the life we want and deserve to have, and the book version is launching soon; but first it took a side journey as an online radio show, which soon put me in touch with Barry Goss. Coincidentally (if you believe in coincidences, which I no longer do), Barry had been on my personal list of potential interviewees, but it was he who contacted me to interview an author he was working with.

When Barry started marketing himself as the Fox Mulder of Manifestation, it seemed clear that I, who had (coincidentally) ;-) been told I looked like Dana Scully numerous times when The X-Files was a hit, and who had the same drive to investigate and uncover the truth about the Universe as he did, should obviously be the Scully to his Mulder. Coincidentally (yeah, you get the drift) the night before I told him that, he had asked Jody Sachse where his Scully was. It's not exactly clear who manifested whom into this relationship, but the complicated intricacies indicate that it was a joint creation.

My mission in life is to make a difference in the world by positively influencing one life at a time through what I am able to discover, and to make those discoveries through digging deep and questioning the seemingly obvious; and that's what I'm accomplishing with the Life Without Limits team.

It has taken me years to understand that life truly can be lived without limits – and without the pain and struggle that I always thought was required – so if I can help just one person (maybe you) understand that, then I feel I've fulfilled my purpose here.

Keep Unwrapping Your Success,
