We’re your Tranquil Mind guides. You are you own teacher. 

I’m ia lifelong consciousness explorer, and from an early age was always looking for answers to life, the universe and everything else. Having investigated many practices including but not limited to meditation,  I initally looked into Dzogchen and Vipassana, but I didn’t see the results I was expecting, so the search continued.

In early 2014, I came across the Dhamma Sukha mediation center on YouTube, and drove to the monastery south of St. Louis that summer to take my first formal mediation retreat. That first retreat revealed to me that there was something to all of this, and that I should keep studying and meditating. In 2015 I took my first 10 day retreat with Doug Kraft. The experiences on that  first 10 day retreat created an intense desire to study the original teachings of the Buddha and to continue to develop my own understanding and meditation practice. I’ve since taken many 10 day retreats and consider the Buddha’s teachings an integral part of my life. 

During the day, I’m a cloud engineer for a Silicon Valley software company, and bring decades of consulting experience to guiding meditators.
