Born in 1976, I became passionate about martial arts and spirituality from a young age.  As a child, I remember intuitively finding sore points on my mother's back which helped relieve her migraines.  Growing up, I remember being drawn to ancient spiritual traditions as they carried with them a powerful spirit, that I felt. 

 

After graduating college with an Engineering degree, I decided to pursue my heartfelt interests in healing, martial arts, and spirituality at the New England School of Acupuncture.  I found school transformative on so many levels as it taught me a completely new way of thinking based on traditional Daoist Medicinal philosophy.  I also followed my passion for ancient self-healing arts by studying with the Grandmaster of Primordial Daoism.  From him I learned medical Qigong, and Internal Martial Arts. In 2002, I graduated with a degree in Chinese and Japanese Acupuncture. 

 

A year later, I opened my first acupuncture practice in NJ where I began to share some of the ancient traditions I had learned.  Over time I studied with several healers and a Celtic Shaman,  all of whom helped me on my path to self discovery.

 

In 2008 I met the founders of the Kunlun System, Diana Daoshi and Mugen Roshi (Max Christensen), who taught me many life changing practices aimed at purifying out physical, mental, and spiritual toxins.

 

I learned to sit still and feel happy and grateful--something that I couldn't do for a long time previously. To this day I am devoted to the Kunlun System and study with the founders as I continue to work on balancing out emotions, and working towards living a heart centered path. 

 

In addition I continue to study the Okinawan Art of Hakutsuru (White Crane) under Hanshi Vellucci,  as well as Tai Chi and Neigong under various teachers.

 

The more I learn, the more I see that compassion is key to healing. I  bring this,  and more, to make my acupuncture sessions a unique and whole-healing experience.

In 2021, I moved to New Hampshire with my wife and 3 cats.  We enjoy taking walks into nature, practicing tea ceremony, exploring new places and respecting our natural surroundings.
