my path

Please explore the timeline above.

1958

1958 in Indiana was when and where my path began. Humble, yet full.

1966

My first memory of practicing something I’d find out was yoga reaches back to 1966. It was never called that by name but taught in my childhood home.

1980

In 1980, I started off the decade with the yang to my yin. I’d never venture down my path alone again.

1981

Two would become three in 1981 with Cathleen. And then Jimmy transformed the three to four, two years later.

1985

In 1985, I found myself in front of a class teaching students the art of yoga. Little did I know this would only be the beginning!

1993

I graduated from Indiana University in 1993 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. A testament to the fact that hard work does pay off.

1994

We decided to pull up stakes and head west... Midwest, that is. And we moved the family to the Twin Cities in 1994, where we’ve been ever since.

1998

In 1998, I tackled the Twin Cities Marathon – a challenge I by no means thought I’d take. Perseverance was a word I’d use to describe myself, but never to this degree.

2001

In 2001, I realized my true calling in life and embarked on a fulltime career in yoga. Life would never be the same again.

2003

In 2003, I held my first ever yoga retreat. And the formation of what would become my Signature Seven Series began.

2007

I started hitting the motivational speaking circuit back in 2007, which lead me to create my series of motivational and inspirational workshops based on the teachings and practice of yoga.
