My friends call me "The Atheist Who Went to Heaven." Until my near-death experience in early 2014, I was a scientist and confirmed skeptic. Born Roman Catholic, I became an atheist, and later an agnostic, beginning in my late teens when I went off to university to study geology and archaeology. The sciences taught me to base my views on things I could measure, and since spiritual matters were not measurable, for me they did not exist.

During most of my adult life, though, a part of me hoped there was something more than just physical reality but I never saw evidence for it. The skepticism remained until January of 2014, when Spirit gave me a wake-up call! Since my near-death experience, I have returned to a more spiritual and creative life based on the wisdom I learned in Heaven.

In the past, I have been an archeological artist, geologist, data analyst, and science/technical writer. But then Heaven threw me a curveball, one I desperately needed. Now I am writing books about Spirit, what happens when we die, and how we can bring a little bit of "Heaven" to our lives on Earth.
