As a graduate of International Bible College with a Bachelor of Theology, I have been providing Christian counseling since 1972. I have also served as the chaplain with the Aurora Police Department, served as a victim advocate, and provided therapy in the fields of domestic violence and anger management with the Arapahoe County Judicial System. I have been an aid to families through crisis intervention and have been a chaplain at Craig Rehabilitation Hospital since 1987. Having recovered from two spinal cord injuries that should have left me unable to walk, I have been able to minister and encourage people around the world.

My wife Barbara and I met in 1992, and we married in 1994. She has been able to join me in ministry by counseling residents at assisted living centers and the patients at Craig Hospital. I have taken the innumerable things I've learned in my last 40 years of ministry to create the Life Skills Classes.
