From the time I was a young boy, I knew there was a deeper purpose for my life. I would walk into the fields surrounding my childhood home and speak openly to God, asking why I was here and what I had come into this world to do. Although I could not yet name what I was searching for, I always felt connected to something greater than my individual sense of self.

That search became a lifelong exploration of faith, consciousness, healing, and the nature of our connection with the Divine. I grew up attending church and studied Christian teachings through Methodist, Catholic, Baptist, and Lutheran traditions. After high school, my spiritual journey expanded to include Hinduism, Kabbalah, Buddhism, and Taoism. In my early twenties, I took Buddhist refuge and Bodhisattva vows, committing myself to a path of compassion and service. I also studied Qi Gong and other forms of energy work, incorporating these practices into my work for a time as a massage therapist.

Service has remained the common thread throughout my personal and professional life. I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant with a Bachelor of Science in Health Care Administration, and I have worked in skilled nursing and rehabilitation since 2014. My career has included direct patient care, rehabilitation leadership, clinical education, regulatory auditing, and the development of programs designed to improve the quality of care and documentation. Whether working directly with patients, guiding healthcare teams, or creating systems that support better outcomes, helping others has always brought me a profound sense of purpose and joy.

In late 2024, my life entered a period of tremendous personal loss and spiritual upheaval. I experienced a dark night of the soul that stripped away much of what I believed defined me. At my lowest point, I cried out completely to God, Jesus, the angels – the Source of All, surrendering my life and asking to be released from my suffering. The answer I received was a clear and unmistakable: “No.”

In that moment, everything became still, and an extraordinary peace came over me. I understood that I was meant to remain here, even if I could not yet see why. I surrendered the ambitions and identities I had once held so tightly and placed my life into the hands of the Divine. From that day forward, my connection with the angelic realm deepened profoundly.

I began sensing and seeing angels in my mind’s eye throughout my daily life, and my inner dialogue with God, Jesus, and the angels became increasingly clear. I was eventually guided to complete a nine-month Angelic Ascension program with angel channeler Sarah Hall, where I learned to communicate intentionally with angels, spiritual beings, and ascended masters. While my spiritual connection extends beyond any one tradition or realm, the angels remain at the heart of my work.

Since then, I have shared received angelic messages to help others find comfort, clarity, healing, and a deeper connection with the Divine. I do not believe there is only one path to awakening, nor do I believe someone must identify as spiritual to be worthy of compassion and support. Each person carries a unique history, worldview, and way of understanding life.

Through The Third Petal Foundation, I intend to meet people exactly where they are whether they are spiritually curious, firmly rooted in a particular faith, uncertain of what they believe, or simply trying to make it through a difficult season. My purpose is not to tell others what their path should be, but to walk beside those who are suffering and offer whatever support, wisdom, or light I am able to give.

Looking back, I now understand that the young boy speaking to God in those fields was already listening for the calling that would guide his life. The Third Petal Foundation is part of my answer to that call: to serve with compassion, bridge the spiritual and practical worlds, and help others remember that even in their darkest moments, they are never truly alone.
