His major influences in writing are Mary Oliver and David Whyte, "with a dash of Rumi's exuberance."
When asked about the transcendent themes within his poetry, he says, "Poetry has always been a part of my reading, with occasional forays into writing, but for my own eyes only. Then, in 2006, the experience -- now happening to thousands across the globe -- of consciousness awakening to itself within the human form, began to up-end my life, and also to seek expression in words. Poems suggest themselves from the more profound experiences of awakeness, and what I do is then sculpt and refine them into something that I hope is intelligible to others. Ideas and words come most frequently when I'm in nature, but any setting can be seen at any time for what it is: the expression of undivided consciousness."
