Historically, I was born in Toronto, but never knew what it meant to be spiritual until I was 57. I am 67 now. My childhood, teenage, and young adult years were emotionally ravaged in an unloving, non-nurturing environment. Despite an unyielding anxiety and a neurotic repression of feelings, I succeeded in Academics with a B. Sc. and M. Sc. in Pharmacy. The beginnings of my interest in scientific research and a Canadian scholarship to study abroad caused me to leave Toronto in 1966 for Israel. I completed my Ph.D. in Biophysics in 1969 at the Weizmann Institute of Science.

          After finishing my doctorate, I left Toronto for the United States. I wound up as a Postdoctoral Fellow and subsequently as an Assistant Professor of Microbiology at the New York University School of Medicine. In 1973, I moved to Long Island to join the faculty of the Oral Biology & Pathology Department of the School of Dental Medicine at Stony Brook University. In 1982, I was promoted to full professor, and in 1983 I married Marcia. In 1990, I became an American citizen, but the following year I suffered my first bout of Bipolar Disorder at age 50. In 1995, the Manic Depression forced me to take a five year long term disability from Stony Brook, but I returned in August of 2000 to once again take up my professorial duties. In July 2006, I retired and became Professor Emeritus. As stated, I have published seventy-five articles in peer reviewed scientific journals and books, and I at one time held seven U.S. Patents. Unusual miraculous events of Divine intervention, described in both Divinely Inspired and Messiah Interviews, have led me to a spiritual awakening and freedom from Bipolar Disorder. Today, I am seeking inner peace by living each day with spiritual meaning in the Image of my Creator.
