About Me

I started on this path with the intention of becoming a chaplain for the US Navy. I have served a total of 12 years in the US Navy, 4 active and 8 reserve, and had many fun and/or memorable experiences. I have since separated from the Navy and decided that being a chaplain is not my calling.

I believe that we are the architects of our own salvation or destruction, and that we are always doing our best with the knowledge and resources that we have available to us at the time. There is great personal power in taking responsibility for our emotions and actions, and I am here to help with that.

I have an 8 y/o son and a 4 y/o daughter. I do not have any current pets, but I have had fish, cats, and dogs in the past.

What free time I have, I spend one of 3 ways. I am doing activities with my family; playing games, such as D&D/Pathfinder or on the Nintendo Switch; or reading books and watching TV/movies. My favorite author is Brandon Sanderson, and my all time favorite movie is the 1985 animated Transformers: The Movie.

I also enjoy traveling and have been to South Korea, Japan, and the farthest away place I’ve traveled is Djibouti, where I spent almost 10 months on deployment with the US Navy.

I really enjoy conducting therapy as I love seeing the improvement and growth of others, as they become aware of their own strength and take greater ownership of their own lives.
