Jack Hebrank, PhD, PE
I live in the woods of Durham, North Carolina, in an owner-built house. I've raised three kids, have three grandkids, and help Marcia with her four grown children. My formal credentials include a BS in Electrical Engineering, a PhD in Mechanical Engineering (both from Duke University), a Professional Engineering license in North Carolina, and inventor/co-inventor on over fifty US patents. Outside of work, I've biked and run, played soccer, danced (mostly Limon-style modern and Contact Improv), done Tai Chi, walked in the woods with my dogs, and heated my house by cutting firewood with a two-man saw.
I believe people learn best by doing and experiencing. Core shamanism offers well developed methods for people to interact with their helping spirits and, consequently, develop a larger view of the world and become more fully themselves. The opportunity to help others learn these skills is why I'm part of the FSS faculty.
