I felt called to become a marriage and family therapist during a time in my life where the decision to change careers didn’t seem to make much sense. I was running a successful computer hardware company, fresh off of a decade as an executive for a software company. I always had a love for the study of people, and of relationships, having received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah in Mass Communications with a minor in Psychology. I felt blessed to be in a wonderful relationship with my wife, having a safe environment to share my hopes, dreams, fears and struggles. I began to realize that not everyone around me had this same support structure in place to process highs, and lows, and to learn how to grow.

I wanted to help others, to use their own strengths to help them chart out paths of change. I felt particularly called to work with men, who often have difficulties admitting, and sharing, their weaknesses with others, particularly with their partners. While running my company, I received my Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Phoenix. I have had the opportunity to speak to groups on topics ranging from couples communication, parenting, men’s issues, sexual addiction, depression and anxiety as well as many others. I work in a strength-based environment and have helped many people achieve lives that they’ve always dreamed of having. I believe that individual and couple’s happiness is real, and it is achievable. It takes work, but I have routinely watched individuals and couples come through therapy and find themselves in places that they had truly given up on ever achieving.

I have been married for 23 years and have 4 children. I love writing and running (I have run over 100 marathons and ultramarathons). You can find more information about me at my website.
