Biodata

My interest in Money & Consciousness spans over 30 years. In the mid 1980's I started to acquaint myself with investing in the stock market. This has become a great interest and passion in my life. I'm a self-learner and have read many financial and investment books over the years on wealth building and learned through experience the importance of knowing all the branches of investing. These deal with technical and fundamental analysis and using sentiment to becoming a contrary investor. Over the years, I've attended many investment seminars within the natural resource sector and made many personal contacts with companies in Canada, including personal relationship's with CEOs and presidents in management. This has proven useful in investing in discovery companies which start on the Toronto Venture exchange and, if successful, move to the US stock exchanges. This is a way of using a small amount of capital and having the potential to make big profits over time.

I also have been a successful entrepreneur. I co-founded a self serve pet wash in 1995. It was profitable for 12 straight years that we were in business. We sold the business in 2007 and made five times the start-up capital of the business. In addition, it has been very rewarding being business manager for my brother , David LaPorte, who has been a

a successful creative artist in the LA area since 1983. www.davidlaporte.com.

Since 1975, I've devoted much time to self-development. My interest in the Martial arts started in the mid 1970's with my Korean martial art instructor John Bulson. This has afforded me the opportunity to study many different styles of Karate, Tai Chi and Chi Kung. My involvement in the martial arts was sparked early on by the accomplishments of Bruce Lee. His style was unique and he believed in the unlimited potential (spirit) of each person. I made my black belt from Mike Stone, a world champion martial artist, in 1983. I was attracted to the magnetic power that Mike commanded. He was a big believer in the faculty of the mind using the technique of creative imagination. My involvement in Kryia yoga began in the mid 1980's. Through good fortune I met Arley Gaines, a co- worker at Lockheed Martin, and his teacher Roy Eugene Davis.With their guidance I was able to advance my study of higher consciousness. There have also been other esoteric areas that I've studied and applied my knowledge to : Vedic Astrology, Ayurveda - the science of life , Yoga, and Feng Shui/Vastu. In addition to nutrition and healing.

I earned a BS degree in Industrial Technology from Buffalo State University, and also completed a certificate at SUNY ( State University of New York) in Applied Business Management . For a period of 25 years I worked at Lockheed Martin in the engineering/ planning and support sector.
