While teaching at Riordan High School in San Francisco, he met Hawayo Takata and became her student in 1978. Reiki very soon became his life and his work, and at the end of 1979, he became one of the 22 masters initiated by Takata Sensei. In 1992 he was recognized as Head of the Discipline of Usui Shiki Ryoho. Together with Lineage Bearer Phyllis Furumoto created the Office of the Grandmaster responding to the community call to define the system received from their teacher, Hawayo Takata.
