I am a father of four, a military veteran, and a world traveler who grew up in Europe and Latin America. I am at home wherever I can find nourishment in the natural world. I have been married for twenty years and I believe that marriage provides a rich and challenging environment for personal growth and development.
I love helping couples and families create peace.
I find inspiration in the beauty of nature and the love of family. I believe in healing the world by healing ourselves and our families first.
