He's an EST LGAT guy. Got a book, 'winning through enlightenment'. He's not mentioned on any of the LGAT sites I know, so I'm not sure what has brought his name up, and neither do the people on ESMB who started it. Says it all. He has several books on Amazon, most are from the seventies. The comments are priceless. No real evidence one way or another, but I think calling him a 'friend' of LRH would be stretching it. 'New Age Guru Contemporary to LRH' would probably be most accurate given the limited info so far.
