AMERICAN ISRAELI CHRISTIAN JEW: A Memoir

A story of shattered identity, failed warriors, and the courage to warn about what's coming.

Born in a Christian commune. Discovered Jewish at thirteen. Served in Israeli Defense Forces special forces. Broke down in Jerusalem. Rebuilt in America. Now watching the infrastructure for the next Holocaust being built in real time.

This memoir moves from a devastating commune collapse to military conflict to the illusion of celebrity protection to present-day warnings about rising antisemitism. It's about a Christian who carries Jewish blood, a man shaped by Old Testament warrior theology who learned the hard way that seeing yourself clearly requires breaking completely.

What's Inside

PART ONE: THE COMMUNE Childhood in Roandoak of God Christian Commune, Morro Bay, California. Charismatic prophecy, spiritual abuse, and the kingdom that collapsed when I was nine.

PART TWO: THE DISCOVERY Learning I was Jewish at thirteen. Immersion in Holocaust literature. Moving to Israel at twenty-five. IDF special forces training. The Lebanon War. Suicidal depression in Jerusalem. The warrior dream that failed.

PART THREE: THE WARNING Returning to America broken. Rebuilding through Bible-based therapy and security work. Twenty years protecting celebrities, government officials, and critical infrastructure. Marriage. Fatherhood. And the growing conviction that American Jews face existential danger they refuse to see.
