Alton received a BA in Zoology (cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa) from the University of Washington and an MS in Oceanography and an MBA from Oregon State University. He has rafted the Zambezi River, visited the remote Northwest Hawaiian Islands, and has been tossed about aboard research vessels in the Gulf of Alaska. He has gone on safari into the Okavango Delta in Botswana, worked in Turkey, and journeyed into the Australian Outback. Wherever his travels have taken him, he has collected stories.

He also has designed lighting for plays and musicals and was the Technical Director of a small start-up theater company. He has also trained to become a massage therapist, is a graduate of the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, and has been adopted into the tribe of the White Clay People of North Central Montana (Gros Ventre).

In Zimbabwe, people greet each other with what translates to, “I see you” to which they respond, “I am here.” In Nepal, people greet each other with, “Namaste,” which translates to, “I greet the light within you.” When telling stories, Alton connects to the people in the audience and allows them to truly see him. He greets the light within everyone and in this undefended state of true connection, healing can take place.
