Since 2000 he has sung with Dick Van Dyke in the quartet The Vantastix.
He is also a certified breathwork, meditation, and yin yoga teacher, and worked as a certified personal trainer for about a decade, starting in 1998. The Joyful Exhale, the method at the center of this book, is his own: practiced daily for three decades, and taught, when the chance came, long before it was ever written down.

The credential that matters most
He was an anxious kid who stuttered, and under enough pressure he still can. There are no calm people in the book, including the man who wrote it. Whatever steadiness he’s managed to assemble was built the slow way, one take at a time, which is the only reason he trusts it enough to write down.
