Evansville, IN, native William Simpson spent the '60s playing in various rock bands before receiving a law degree and spending 13 years as a civil litigation attorney in Los Angeles. Drawn to the mysticism of the Far East since the '60s, Simpson found solace in Zen and Kriya Yoga meditation. He founded the Conscious Living Foundation in 2002 and released a series of CDs that tout the benefits of integrating various spiritual applications into everyday life. ~ James Christopher Monger
