I earned a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from the University of South Florida in 1997. I began my career as a certified law enforcement officer for the State of Florida, then worked in non-profit mental health and substance abuse for many years, both as a direct service provider and administrator. I developed and facilitated responsible fatherhood programs for several federally funded non-profits. For the past ten years I’ve worked exclusively with military veterans and developed and facilitated marriage retreats for veterans. I am a husband and father of two children. Parenting has been the most important job I’ve ever had and I hope to share my successes and challenges with you.

I am Licensed and Certified Recreation Therapist who attended East Carolina University. I have a professional background in mental health, behavioral health, adolescent psych. I am certified in Yoga, Tai Chi and Adaptive Sports. I am a loving husband and a devoted father of two boys. I work each day to be the best father I can be. I am an expert in experiential learning and recreation therapy practices. I will help you to improve your relationships and quality of life.
