About
I was born in Minnesota, U.S.A. and raised on the west coast of Canada. There I fell in love with the oral traditions and art of the Haida people. I began carving at the age of 12, and became a professional sculptor at 25.
When I was 35 I moved to Hawaii, and assisted in the construction of the 62 foot long traditional double hull voyaging sailing canoe " Mo'okiha O Pi'ilani " Sacred Lizard That Pierces The Heavens on the island of Maui. At this time, I began making outrigger racing paddles, which are now used all over the world.
I am now a student of Inca culture; this is my first book.

Story Behind The Book
I have always loved learning the oral traditions of the Native people wherever I have traveled and lived. On my first and subsequent trips to Peru, I was never able to find a good, economically priced book in English that told the story of the Inca. Therefore, after researching the subject, I decided to write one.
Reviews
Famous authors Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval have both read my book. As have David Hatcher Childress, Klaus Dona, and Richard C. Hoagland.
