I was eight years old when “Mama” asked me what I wanted to “be” when I grew up (Mama was my mom’s mom). “I want to be a doctor,” was my response; Mama reached into a bookshelf and handed me two thick medical books. The only thing I remember about the books was that I didn’t understand anything and they eventually found their way to the used book store.
Fifteen years later I met a woman who would change my destiny; her name was Dora Kunz. She is the co-founder of Therapeutic Touch, a type of energy healing taught primarily to nurses. Every Tuesday for two years a group would meet with Dora to learn and refine our skills as healers. It was during this time that I decided to dedicate my life to a healing profession and I enrolled in a pre-med program.
While I was in school I wrote down all of the things I wanted to do as a healer. A friend looked at the list and said quite plainly: “Bill, that’s not a medical doctor, that’s a chiropractor.” “Get out of here,” I replied, “Chiropractors are quacks!”
She responded: “You better find out what they do before you condemn them.”
A week later a chiropractor came to my work and gave a talk about chiropractic - I had my list with me. To my surprise, everything that was on my list was part of chiropractic. After a series of what I call "wake up calls from God", I changed my direction from medicine to chiropractic.
Today I feel incredibly blessed to be a chiropractor. My goal is to remove any interference to the divine intelligence within people and witness the power of God to heal the body.
Besides enjoying marriage, fatherhood and helping people heal, I love to boat, ski, hike, and travel. I usually have four or five books going at once and love a good science fiction or thriller movie.
