Cody, a native Texan, was raised amidst its unique culture and landscapes. In his teens, he embarked on an extensive journey that led him to Eastern spiritual traditions. Decades later, while balancing a career in construction and technology, he realized the importance of returning to the roots of that journey and was introduced to Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. This led Cody to develop a deep connection to the teachings and practices of Buddhism in daily life taught by Rinpoche.

With his background as a Director of Technology, an opportunity arose to support Siddhartha’s Intent and other websites associated with Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche. Guided by Siddhartha’s Intent instructors and Rinpoche he continues his studies and practice while actively involved in public service and volunteering for initiatives that aim to preserve and promote Buddhist wisdom and knowledge.
