Using Remote Viewing he discovered Cleopatra's Palace, Marc Antony's Timonium, ruins of the Lighthouse of Pharos, and sunken ships along the California coast, and in the Bahamas. He is the author of more than 130 technical reports and papers. He has written The Secret Vaults of Time, The Alexandria Project, Mind Rover, Opening to the Infinite, and The 8 Laws of Change.

Here he reviews the historical research that he conducted prior to preparation for his own series of archeological projects incorporating what he likes to call “nonlocal consciousness”. He describes a double-blind experiment conducted by Croesus, King of Lydia, testing the oracles of the ancient world. He discusses the use of dowsing. He elaborates on the excavations conducted by Frederic Bligh Bond at Glastonbury Abbey in England. He concludes by noting that he has not had difficulty engaging the cooperation of top tier scientists in his multi-disciplinary projects.

He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.
