Davidson Yeager
Toronto,Ontario
Summary
Versatile and dynamic, I’ve honed my communication and organization skills through my roles as a self-driven tarot reader/counsellor and guitar teacher.
An avid reader since childhood, I’ve probably read well over 1,000 books in the self-help field (I’ve never counted) over the past 40 years.
I’ve re-invented myself several times having also been a successful recording/performing artist through the 1990’s regularly performing in all the top clubs in Toronto.
I have overcome many challenges including serious alcohol addiction. I have now been effortlessly sober since 1997.
