Born and raised in the desert Southwest, Pharr knew his path was a Pagan one after being introduced to the ancient ways of the goddess almost 20 years ago.  He has studied extensively with several nationally recognized Pagan institutions and learned the arts of healing (including Reiki, reflexology, therapeutic touch, and massage), tarot, astrology, intuitive counseling, and herbalism.  As a healer and psychic, he believes his experience in these areas have brought him in touch with the lunar energies he writes of in this book.  It is the knowledge and use of these energies which make him successful, and his private practice extends to corporations and organizations as well as individuals.  Pharr is also a scuba instructor, a martial arts teacher with a Black Belt in Kenpo Karate, and a Certified Firewalker Instructor.
