He is currently completing a Balchelor of Health Sciences in Western Herbal Medicine and Naturopathy and eventually would like to work in a mutli-modality clinic.  He believes that life can be a sacred pilgrimage and that all stops on the road are sacred sites where we can choose to invest honoured time and space.
