The Enlightened Road: A Travel Guide for the Awakening Soul
At the age of 50, a diagnosis of clinical depression threw Al's life into a tailspin. Doctors prescribed the usual medications and therapies, but none of it worked. So, he turned to alternative healing, including meditation and breathwork. Al's exploration of inner healing led to a life-altering adventure that took him on a solo cross-country road trip. Along the way, he experienced deep awakenings through a series of synchronicities and met a new tribe of enlightened friends in Sedona, Arizona.
When he returned home, Al was inspired to continue his spiritual journey and left a government job he held for nearly thirty years to follow his heart and cultivate his awakening soul.
In his first book, The Enlightened Road: A Travel Guide for the Awakening Soul, Al chronicles a transformational cross-country journey and shares insights about inspirational locations and attractions as well as his own spiritual discoveries along the way. Written as both an exciting and insightful guidebook for planning a road trip and a chronology of a spiritual awakening to inspire your inner journey, his book is a unique companion for your next travel adventure.
Al is a co-founding member of the Ludus Magnus Gladiatorus, one of very few, ancient Roman gladiator reenactment groups in the United States. Along with his sons, Al gives lectures and performs historically accurate demonstrations of gladiatorial combat at schools, museums, and festivals. He has a deep awareness that his knowledge of ancient Roman history and the ease with which he mastered gladiatorial fighting techniques is due to muscle and cognitive memory of his past life as a first-century Roman gladiator named Anton. Al has a deep psychic connection with this past life experience and shares poignant moments with Anton in his book. Al is currently working on a manuscript about this extraordinary lifetime in the brutal world of the Roman Empire.
Al was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and now resides in Jackson, New Jersey. He has many interests and hobbies. When not working out at the gym or taking a hike or jog out in nature, you may find him singing his heart out at the local karaoke bar, or hunting ghosts at a nearby haunt.

The Map of Truth: A Journey To Joy Workbook
Hello there! I am excited to introduce you to Dynamics of Conversation a company I created to help people overcome communication barriers in their professional and personal life and empower them to enjoy the company of others by expressing themselves fluently and confidently in every conversation. After all, it is the connection with others that brings out our uniqueness and our gifts, giving life to our authentic voice. Connecting with our authentic voices through skillful communication is a passion that wakes me up every morning. Helping people overcome their challenges and feel connected, understood, and respected is my mission.
Unsatisfied with a corporate career, I found that my passion for helping others laid elsewhere. So I returned to school, and I earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in Integrative Health and a Certificate in Integrative Health and Wellness Coaching.
I also became a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) through the International Consortium of Health and Wellness. Countless hours of self-development, self-reflection, growth, and hours of coaching people from all backgrounds gave rise to Dynamics of Conversation as a program of tools and strategies to develop effective communication skills.
In The Map of Truth: A Journey to Joy Workbook, I help you discover that your authentic voice is your greatest power and the most unique asset you share with the world. My method for magnifying that power uses a unique combination of adaptable tools that takes your communication skills to another level and sets the foundation for new possibilities in all aspects of your life. It will shift the way you communicate with others resulting in better relationships, feeling open and approachable, more engaged while expressing your desires and wishes. When faced with conflicts and stressful situations, you will know how to communicate effectively and find solutions with ease.
With every struggle, I learned. With every belief, I recognized. With every action, I experienced. With every step, I rose. With every conversation, I connected. Confident communication can move mountains. I look forward to helping you become a Dynamic Conversationalist.
All new beginnings start with a conversation!
