I have been fortunate to enjoy a life full of learning, success, and joy. 

After college, I began a rewarding career in law enforcement with specialties in supervision and crisis negotiation.  I obtained a master's degree in mediation with a focus on interpersonal conflict and workplace conflict. As I worked with clients, my passion for coaching developed. I have been married and raised terrific children. As a spiritual person, I incorporate this aspect into all areas of my life. I have also endured challenges that have helped shape me into who I am. These included raising a family while working in a demanding field and facing personal losses. I draw on all these experiences as I work with clients.

My other interests include camping, travel, sports, and personal fitness.
