INTRODUCTION
I am 44 years old and live in an old house in sunny Steveston in Richmond near Vancouver with my three sons, wife and cat. My boys are Liam (6), Reid (4) and Myles (5 months). I am a recovering alcoholic, which started me on the spiritual path. I am a great believer in the power of the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous which have taken me from a place of utter despair to one of accepting an loving myself and, in so doing, accepting and loving others.
INTERESTS
The inward journey, boldly going where no one has gone before.
SKILLS/ABILITIES/TALENTS
I have a doctorate degree in Pathology which I use for employment. I love to pull motors apart (bikes, cars, lawnmowers) I can't always get them back together again, but that's part of the experience. I do volunteer work at a local alcohol and drug rehab center.
VISION/PURPOSE:
To help others emerge from the darkness of addiction. To be part of the 'world spiritual awakening'.
Favorite Saying:
Humility: Perpetual quietness of heart. It is to have no trouble. It is never to be fretted or vexed, irritable or sore; to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised, it is to have a blessed home in myself where I can go in and shut the door and kneel to my Father in secret and be at peace, as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and about is seeming trouble.

In earlier years I travelled the world with my work; spent a year in India and another year in the Arctic, I've travelled Europe and parts of Africa.
But the most fascinating journey I've ever taken is the one I'm now on which takes me deep into myself. By travelling this journey I am ridding myself of blame, self pity, and resentment and becoming increasingly comfortable with myself and the world I live in and the people who are a part of this world.
