Background

I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from City University of Seattle. I graduated at the top of my class and was honored to give the commencement address as the student speaker—the first ever from a graduate of the Counseling Psychology program.*

Much, much earlier, I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration from the University of Washington. After that, I worked in many industries as a recording engineer, a furniture maker, a corporate trainer, a designer, and a marketing guy. During all that, I learned a lot about people—and myself.

My Professional Credentials

Before that, I was a kid; with the kid's task of navigating small town family life (with all its perils). This was the beginning of a process of learning, exploring, searching, finding my way, losing it, giving up, starting over, and learning some more. I could have used some help processing all that. It took a long time to find the help I needed. Now I help others with those tasks.
