I am a college-degreed Accountant with a previous career ranging (in the beginning) from Staff Accountant to CFO, Consulting with specialties in 501-C-3 Non-Profit Org. Long since retired from Accounting, however, I began a career in Tai Chi Chuan, in 1990, between changing careers, I worked in the casinos, while studing with Grand Master Charles Fran Farrell after having neglected a very serious
windsurfing injury for two years! UPON FINDING OUT AT THE HOSPITAL, I HAD 4 DAYS TO LIVE
- they put me on something that kept me alive a couple of days until an operating room was available! After successful surgery and 4 months of rehab-insurance stopped! I wasn't fully recovered until I searched and found other means of recovering and restoring my life! That's when I discovered Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong! I mastered Great Grand Master William CC Chen's Tai Chi Chuan along with his Sword, and his Pushing hands, as well as Professor Chen Man Ching's Tai Chi Chuan and his sword! I would like to note that when I state I mastered Tai Chi Chuan, it includes all internal alchemy, not just the body mechanics, I've kept up to date with Great Grandmaster William CC Chen's latest workshops! I studied with Great Grand Master William CC Chen's 1995 World Heavyweight Push Hands Champion Charles 'Fran' Farrell (Note! I mean really trained 7 hrs a day- 7 days a week for over 10 years, and continued for many years after, including having to stand for 1-3 hours in Tai Chi Chuan postures and postures of other internal systems daily
until his passing recently in 2018! GrandMaster Farrell had an 8th-degree black belt in Ed Parker's Kenpo Karate, and Fran was a Shaolin Master! My Master Farrell had studied in China, at the famous Xi Yuan Hospital with Dr. Xu
Hong Tao, Medical Director of the Qigong Dept. and Dr. Liu Guanjun, Chairman Qigong Dept, both personally, and was Internationally Certified from that hospital, and came back to the USA and taught me everything he was taught there!! I continued training with Grand Master Farrell until his passing in 2018! Fortunately, he and I co-hosted a highly successful TV show for 2 years, live 3 days a week teaching Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong. I also further developed my abilities and expertise in Medical Qigong, Yichuan, Wuji (the Martial Art) and reached what some people say is the highest level in Martial Arts and Qigong--Ling Kong Jing! I teach group lessons, corporate wellness programs, and private lessons, alternative energy healing ranging from stress, pain, COPD, PTSD AHDD, Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Cancer to the removal of cysts! As of this edit, I have 36years of Medical Qigong experience and in the previously mentioned Martial Arts! As of this edit on 09/21/2025, I still train, personally, 2-3 hrs daily! Although many people refer to me as Master, I don't consider myself that because I am a student for life, of discovering something today, that wasn't there yesterday! Being a Master-Is just the beginning!
