I had a very successful career as a software engineer. Now, I am dedicating my life to studying, practicing, observing and teaching meditation practices in an effort to reduce suffering in myself, my family and friends, and all sentient beings. I teach Mindfulness in Healing at the Pine Street Clinic in San Anselmo on Wednesday nights. My Meditation Practices. I practice with Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and was ordained in the Order of Interbeing in 2008.
