WalksWithThunder is Shaman Born. His grandfather was a Shaman for the Caddo tribe, as was his father before him. He has been able to see Grandfather Spirits since the age of two, and could bi-locate (literally in two places at once) at fourteen. "I didn't know those things were special. I thought everyone could do it, and you know I was right. The classes I teach are based on this. I have been on the Red Road a long time – before I even knew there was a Red Road". He lives a spiritually pure life, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco (except for occasional ceremony), doesn't drink coffee and uses no recreational pharmaceuticals. "I didn't learn the way of the Shaman from another Shaman. The Spirits teach me gently when I sleep."

Walks With Thunder teaches many classes throughout the Puget Sound Region. "My beginner’s classes help many take control of the "gifts” we possess, opening the suppressed power of our lives that sets some apart from the norm. When you take control of your own hidden powers, you don't have to be victims any longer." Walks With Thunder lives his life according to what he teaches. He is powerful in what he teaches and how he lives his life. "Everyone can do what I do. Just like the Spirits who teach me, I can't keep a good thing to myself. Come learn with me!"
