He completed his Foundations coursework at Riverside CSL and became a licensed Practitioner through CSL Greater Las Vegas more than a decade ago. In2024, he graduated from Holmes Institute and was licensed as a CSL minister, and has served in many leadership roles within the CSL community.
In addition to his ministry, Rev. Neil holds both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Education. As an elementary school teacher, he brings compassion, creativity, and curiosity to his students every day. One of his favorite quotes is by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.” Rev. Neil endeavors to carry this message into the world, helping others expand into their highest potential through education, empowerment, and evolution.
