Your Coach/Consultant

I received my Ph.D. from Columbia Pacific University and have worked in both Iowa and Montana since 1977. Most of my experience has been in substance abuse and mental health as a front line counselor, a clinical supervisor, and a program administrator. I hold Iowa state credentials as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CADC).  Additionally I am a graduate of Coach University as well as participating in additional coaches training specifically oriented to assisting entrepreneurs in the development of their business.  I have worked extensively with business owners and managers of not-for-profit agencies helping them to figure out how to make their business work for them and to get more out of their life.

I have considerable experience and specialized training in substance abuse, dual diagnosis (MICA), compulsive gambling, relationships, and numerous other mental health concerns.  To expand and enhance my skills, I  gained additional background in personal and business coaching.  Pulling together what I have learned in formal education, from my various work and personal experiences and my own intuition I have developed business and personal coaching/consulting services that can help you get more our of your life and have the resources to put more into your life.  

I live in rural Iowa where I work mostly over the Internet providing coaching, counseling, distance learning, and writing/research services.  Living in a quiet small town, my artist wife and I are able to set life at our own pace as we hike, bicycle, hunt, and go fishing in our free time...
