He is currently based in Boulder, Colorado and was raised with Protestant Christian traditions in Hawaii and then back east in Connecticut.
In 2012 while in India he took Buddhist Refuge with Roshi Bernie Glassman, founder of the Zen Peacemakers, and observed the Five Mindfulness Trainings in Thích Nhất Hạnh’s tradition with Shantum Seth. He has also taken the Bodhisattva vows with His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama and holds a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Northeastern University and a Master of Divinity degree from the Wisdom Traditions Department of Naropa University.
He has worked as a spiritual advisor and facilitator of spirituality groups at Harmony Foundation Addiction Treatment Center in Estes Park and practices the 12 steps of recovery himself, going on 21 years sober one day at a time. He also worked for the better part of a decade with cancer kids and their families; planning dinners, coordinating volunteers and raising money for the largest Ronald McDonald House in the world located in New York City.
In addition to all that, Fordham (aka ‘the Rev’) is a certified meditation teacher (MMTCP), yoga instructor (IYI), artist, musician, and a pastoral theologian currently working on his forthcoming book, All I Got is Now: Recovery and the Buddhadharma.
He enjoys contemplating the universe, watching movies, going on tropical spiritual retreats, eating good food, sleeping, and spending time with the love of his life Lisa.
