An original nowhere man. . . born in a town and a state where I resided for a total of two weeks (mainly in an incubator); having moved 22 times by the age of 22, including two foreign countries. In 16 years of working in education (seven years of counseling, in some capacity, in various settings) in various settings, I have assisted individuals of all ages, multiple ethnicities and a variety of educational backgrounds. I possess specialized training and experience in vocational-rehabilitation counseling. Two core foci I insist upon when you are one of the people I coach/counsel: "Live the life YOU were born to live!" and "YOU are Gifted - It is my job to help you uncover and develop and use those GIFTS constructively." As a transformational coach with a counseling background, I firmly believe in the Gestalt focus on the present the “now-here,” bringing me back to my original statement~~~~ I am an original now-here man.
