Steven Ware Smith was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He is a true science and engineering guy who grew up being a total skeptic about psychic phenomena. After graduating with honors from the U.S. Naval Academy with a degree in Aerospace Engineering, he flew fighter jets in the military and then worked as a radar systems engineer before returning to school at the University of Texas School of Law. He then worked as a patent attorney for 26 years specializing in high-technology telecommunications patents.
In 1996, he reluctantly agreed to participate in an ESP experiment that was so successful it awakened him to his latent psychic powers. Subsequent study and experimentation convinced him that anyone can learn to demonstrate psychic functioning such as telepathy and remote viewing of people, places, things, and events far distant in both space and time. He now teaches people (even skeptics) how to discover their psychic abilities. He thoroughly enjoys the look of astonishment when students experience their first successful psychic event.
In his spare time, he enjoys being an instrument-rated private pilot.
