Vance began training in ninpo based martial arts during the late 1980’s within the Bujinkan Kasumi-An curriculum of Stephen K. Hayes. In 1991 he was initiated in to the prestigious Marishi-Kai Instructor’s Guild and has been recognized to dan (black belt) ranks in multiple martial art disciplines, traditions and organizations. His training these days focuses on modern tools and a few traditional weapons based disciplines. Vance has participated in primitive skills instruction by world renowned tracker Tom Brown Jr. along with other survival and search-rescue teachers.
Having first heard of “remote viewing” in 1998, Vance recognized it as a modern scientific approach to the meditative, mind science methods he’d already been exploring, and immediately sought out formal remote viewing instruction. He has since received training and guidance in both controlled and extended remote viewing from many of today’s top remote viewing instructors and schools, including: PsiTech, the Farsight Institute, Ed Dames, FM Bonsall, David Morehouse and the Hawaiian Remote Viewing Guild – he can be found in the remote viewing history map. Additionally, he has been trained in other “remote viewing” methodologies based on more esoteric meditative practices such as the mysterious kuji-in techniques. In 2003/2004, Vance coined the terms “openRV” and “oRV” to describe his eclectic approach to operational remote viewing as well as its application, training and teaching. Although preferring to largely stay “behind-the scenes” and anonymous in his contributions, Vance has publicly demonstrated successfully predicting winning lottery numbers multiple times, has been utilized in many high profile missing persons cases, and has assisted law enforcement agencies in various information collection assignments. He has appeared on various TV, radio and podcasts to discuss remote viewing and offers professional services and training to those clients, corporations and law enforcement entities needing information beyond what is conventionally accessible. He also runs the TSIRV website offering training, insight and community involvement.
A martial arts enthusiast, private investigator, remote viewer, drummer and open source Linux nerd – Vance has spent his adult life in pursuit of experiences, training and meeting many notable mentors of diverse thought. It’s this diversity that brings a different perspective and passion for challenging the norm that has become Vance’s personal mantra and that of Trinity Science.
