Biography: I grew up in a suboptimal household and at age 19 had no goals and no sense of direction. A friend of my mother's, a psychotherapist, became my mentor, and from him, I learned to set goals and work to attain them. As a result, I earned a master's degree from Utah State University when I was 26, had a successful career, and retired early.

During my career, I enjoyed much success, but more work was needed to become a whole human being. Accomplishments were great for building self-esteem, but not so great for nurturing close personal relationships. With the help of life coaching, I have opened up new dimensions in my life, and my path forward is clear: I am committed to being loving and present in my family life and helping others, just as I was helped by my mentor in my youth. The "helping" method I have chosen is life coaching; it is practical, effective, and has an immediacy I have not found in other helping modalities.

Much of my strength as a coach is helping my clients organize their thoughts and feelings to help streamline their lives. I have a wealth of experience in this area, including decades of experience as a systems analyst in both the academic and corporate arenas.
