Personal Statement
My wife and I have been in Colorado since 1991. We have 3 children who are currently on their own making us empty nesters. We were foster parents for 4 years and 2 of our 3 children are adopted. Parenting has always been a passion of mine and the good Lord has given me a lot of experience at it, both personal and professional.
Relationships are my passion and understanding how they work has been my life study. I believe if you take relationships out of life, we would have little left. Investing in good relationships is one of the most important investments we can make.
My education in relationships began when I became a Christian as a young man. That was followed by my formal education and years of experience as a therapist. Coaching is a practical way for me to benefit others and help them become more effective in relationships.
