The Guru

Patrick Raymond

It started in London, at 15. A boy from the Shenandoah Valley — in the Blue Ridge Mountains of rural Virginia — visiting his mother at the American Embassy. What happened instead was a permanent shift in everything he understood about the world. He moved there. Travelled Europe through high school. Relocated to Hollywood. Never stopped.
