Have you ever been called an “old soul”? I have…my entire life.

From an early age, I have been driven by a quest for spiritual understanding. Even as a little boy, I sensed there was a greater meaning to life and knew I was here for a spiritual purpose. I grew up a devout Catholic—even though my family was not religious at all—and, in my early twenties, I even considered becoming a priest. But I had one big problem: I knew I was gay, and it tortured me. I saw no way for me to be authentic in the place I loved most. I knew I would eventually have to make a hard choice.

I sought the counsel of an astrologer and it changed my life.

For the first time ever, I felt seen, for who I was. Although I did not realize it at the time, my first astrology reading triggered a profound spiritual awakening in me for I was told:

“In a few years’ time, you’ll be doing this, probably better than me.”

I would later understand that this awakening was really a remembering—a remembering of who I am as an eternal soul and, more specifically, what I had planned to do on Earth.

She was right. A spiritual awakening was definitely written in the stars.

On the last night of a self-discovery retreat I attended in February of 2019, I experienced my spiritual awakening. In an instant, all thinking ceased, and I knew, experientially, my True Self. In that moment, I felt my soul jump out of my body and return, completely transformed by the Knowing: I AM.

That same year, I was divinely guided to create Path & Purpose so that I could assist others with their spiritual journeys. As a complete surprise to me, the entity—the Being—that is Path & Purpose came to me one day in the shower.

From him, I “heard” two things:

“The name is Path & Purpose” and “You’re going to run this business in a completely new way.”

And although I was totally unsure of what this would require of me, I said, “Okay, let’s do it.”

In 2020, my spiritual awakening went into hyperdrive, and I honed my innate spiritual gifts through yoga, meditation, channeling, intuition and psychic development, regression work, quantum healing, and my connections to galactic consciousness. It was also the year I re-discovered the great Eastern spiritual traditions my soul knew so well.

And something else had to give.

In early 2021, I was guided to leave my six-figure job in education to run Path & Purpose full-time. Was I scared? Oh, heck yeah! And that was just the beginning of a series of trust falls with the Universe…that haven’t really stopped since, if I’m being honest.
