He also is the creator and facilitator of the 5 ½ day "NDE Intensive" which uses the pathways laid down by NDErs to explore states of consciousness. He has twice served on the board of the International Association for Near-Death Studies and co-moderated their annual conference at least a dozen times.

For his 60th birthday, he committed to wearing a kilt every day during this landmark year.
