I grew up in Los Angeles as a child TV actor, and began my world travels at age 17. I graduated from USC Film School and was a member of the elite US Army Security Agency. At age 23 I became a yoga monk with Self-Realization Fellowship, where I resided for 35 years.Leading a life of meditation and service, I also became a popular global minister and taught audiences how to develop intuition, face fears, and realize creative potential. My powerful oration skills empowered many to take a stand for what meant the most to them.During my television career, I became a friend of Screen Actors’ Guild president, Ronald Reagan. I am also known as an author, film producer, and mentor to many, including Beatle George Harrison. I have collaborated with visionaries such as Don Miguel Ruiz, Mikhail Gorbachev, and fashion icon, Fred Segal. I exemplify a life of both inner and outer success. My knowledge of transition and my personal experience of "the hero’s journey" have given me the ability to address life's challenging issues in significant ways. With my thousands of hours of meditation as a former monastic, I am a mindfulness expert and an inspired visionary, able to tap into people and situations to provide greater clarity, creativity, and both professional and personal fulfillment.
