About Dale

Life lessons, that have taught me how to serve to help others.

To me, every positive and negative event in my life was, or is a blessing, just waiting to be discovered. I have been into helping others for as long as I can remember. Our parents often influence who we become. My mother taught me to care and have compassion, and my father taught me what it is like to feel abused. Both were important to who I am today.

Under five, I had my first PTSD event. The abuse from my father, a negative parental imprint, created a speech impediment, a severe traumatic stutter within me, that carried on for almost two decades. From that part of my life, I learned from the bad and the good, the skill of focus and outcome. My father left the family when I was five and I never talked with him again. He died when I was nine.

The second PTSD event struck, when I was a college vocational instructor, teaching work skills to adults suffering from mental illness who were wanting to get back into the workforce. Another blessing in disguise as I learned much from that traumatic workplace event.

I learned talk therapy and healing, by osmosis from my mother who was like our family’s Shaman. Not wanting to engage readily with others, I spent much of my time inside, within hearing distance, but just out of sight of the adults.

The imprint of caring and curing that my mother gave to our aunts, cousins and such, stuck. Helping others to feel better or be more successful became my life passion and a life sideline, as I went about my many vocations.

I also had to learn to overcome dyslexia. Twenty percent of the population hasdyslexia. There is a jumble that occurs within the speech and sound areas of the brain. Because of that early speech impediment and having dyslexia, I never really did well scholastically. Like most people with dyslexia, I did become an ace at practical skill learning and application.

I guess you would say in life I became a self-made man. I learned to learn on my own.

I became a pretty good trainer and instructor. My vocations included vehicle mechanics and physical plant mechanics, parts management and inventory control, institutional and general building services, college vocational instruction, a hospital departmental management, jet-engine technical writing, and manufacturing safety-productivity-quality management.

In my free time for the last 35 years, in an effort to understand people, I researched the scientific practices of neuroscience, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, biology, nuclear physics, and quantum physics. I also studied the various metaphysical healing techniques such as meditation, the Hawaiian healing art of Ho’oponopono, and Philippian Pranic healing.

My coworkers, friends and loved ones became great practice subjects of what I had learned.

This incredible background, all the trauma and tribulations, the wins and the losses, the pain and pleasure, have brought me to this point. I am at a point where I can and want to, share my learning with others. This has become my life purpose, my raison d'être, my reason for being.
