Dr. Bob of Holistic Chiropractic & Subtle Energy Medicine was raised in the NJ & NYC metropolitan regions. He’s lived in Seattle, Chicago, & the SF Bay Area before relocating to SLC 24 years ago.
He has no religious affiliations, but is deeply spiritual, which is expressed through his love of nature, golf, classical music, international travel, fine cuisine, wine and an occasional good scotch. He enjoys attending personal growth seminars internationally & teaching holistic wellbeing.
He grew up on the New Jersey golf courses; won his Caddie Championship at the Upper Montclair Country Club in Montclair, NJ about 1969; caddied for Orville “Sarge” Moody in 1970 at the Dow Jones Open, who won the US Open in 1969.
He’s journeyed to Scotland some 12 years ago, and played all three of Carnoustie’s courses: the Championship, the Buddon & Fireside; followed by the Royal Troon and the Prestwick courses, which held the first British Open in the days of ol’ Tom Morris.
On that same Scotland adventure he visited the charming town of St. Andrew’s, where he attended a lecture of British literature at St. Andrew’s University, which was held in a stoned-middle-aged chapel. But was too tired to play the St. Andrew’s course, but did go their amazing golf museum.
In comfortable weather he enjoys riding his Ducati motorcycle in the near-by mountains & forests in Utah, or heading out to Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, or up the Oregon coast.
He enjoys all sports particularly championship events. Loves the Sundance Film Festival where at times he spends way too much time exchanging Sundance tickets at Trolley Square (joke), but appreciates the extraordinary efforts that Sundance directors and producers bring to the screen with their poignant, amazing expression of art, creativity, dealing with human relationships and world issues. And got to see Anderson Cooper after the showing of his film “Nothing Left Unsaid.”
Dr. Bob enjoys all kinds of music, folk, rock, classical, opera, ballet & likes hearing “new music”, and attended some classical concerts at Amsterdam’s, Concertgebouw, London’s Symphony Orchestra & Royal Albert Hall.
He enjoys getting his nightly fix of Golf Channel along with some Masters, British Open, PGA & US Open special events.
Once was into CNN & MSNBC, but doesn’t watch too much news anymore; things are too depressing these days.
He’s a long term student of Process Work Psychology as taught by Drs. Arny & Amy Mindell from Portland, Oregon, and is certified in processwork facilitation from London’s processwork institute.
He’s been practicing Tibetan & Zen traditions as a way of perceiving his world & “self” through un-patterned eyes, which is quite challenging to say these days.
He is Reiki certified and practices holistic chiropractic in its science, art, philosophy with intuitiveness & tenderness.
When living in the Bay Area he received his massage certification & license, where he worked with the AIDS population during their epidemic.
