Our People

We're seeking dynamic people who want to make a difference in the world, to join the Avlis Production Team in promoting and teaching Jose Silva's UltraMind ESP System. We need instructors, promoters, and business managers.

The team is led by the two owners of Avlis Publishing: A. Victor Kovens and Katherine L. Sandusky. Also on the headquarters staff are Jose Luis Romero, Ed Bernd Jr., William R. Sturdevant, Antony Cockle, and Dennis Higgins.

Together, this team has well over 100 years experience working with Jose Silva and his ESP system. All of them authored chapters in Jose Silva's UltraMind ESP System book.

Katherine Sandusky, owner and manager of Avlis Productions, came to work for Jose Silva at his Laredo headquarters in 1989 soon after graduating from high school, and she's been involved with the business ever since. Kathy used her intuition the way Jose Silva had taught her, to help her set sales records that passed anything her sales manager had achieved. To read more about Kathy, please click here.

A. Victor Kovens, co-owner of Avlis Publishing, is most proud of the way Jose Silva's mind training system helped homeless people in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, to turn their lives around. "That is a lot more significant to me than my using Jose Silva's system to help me get into the Guinness Book of World Records in 1975," Victor said. To read more about Victor, please click here.

Jose Luis "Pepe" Romero, Director of Instructor Training, came to work for Jose Silva shortly after graduating from college in 1972 and has been involved in all aspects of the business ever since. Pepe has been training UltraMind Instructors since the very first Instructor Training Session in 1998, and has trained and certified more UltraMind Instructors than anyone else.
