I am a retired physician, contemplative author, and founder of Vox Veritas Vita Press, an independent press dedicated to writing that raises consciousness. After decades in medicine and healthcare leadership, I now devote myself to exploring the intersections of contemplative spirituality, medical insight, and the unfolding of human potential. My writing emerges from a conviction I share with A Loving Organization: that love is not something we must acquire but something already present within us, waiting to be uncovered and expressed. The inner journey and our outer impact cannot be separated. As we become more loving, compassionate, and present within ourselves, we change how we show up in our relationships, communities, and the systems we create together. My forthcoming title, "Love Notes: Nine Weeks to Opening Your Heart," offers a structured nine-week practice for recognizing and releasing the barriers that close the heart. It is designed for both individual reflection and community engagement. A free facilitators guide is available for small group discussion. I serve as Medical Research Liaison for the Contemplative Network, hold an advisory board position with Planetary Citizens, and am a founding member of the Octopus Movement. I live and write in Ave Maria, Florida.
