Laura can ask him anything, and he spells out his thoughts on a letterboard. His journey over the past few years has been an absolute miracle. First, his musical talent, playing the piano and singing, became evident. Then, through Spelling 2 Communicate, his intelligence, thoughts, and feelings, and even his telepathic gifts that have been hidden all these years, came shining through. He is a musician, a horse whisperer, and a medium. He wants to share his story to inspire others.
