A little more about me
The greater part of my life has been given to helping people through their moments and onto a broader understanding. It’s meant dealing with grief, accomplishment, disappointment, and success but common to all has been the hopeful thread of our human development-the promise of tomorrow-and belief that endings are opportunities for new beginnings.
Of course, getting here took time and my own experiences with disappointment as well as success. It meant that after high school, college and graduate schooling took another 11 years (I guess you could say I’m just a slow learner). Following ordination to Christian ministry, I led in congregations large and small and in business as vice president and have been teaching leadership to Masters and PhD students as well as coaching/mentoring leaders and managers for the last several years.
My wife Debbie and I have been married since 1981. We have three great kids and seven fantastic grandchildren and live outside of Knoxville, TN. In my free time I absolutely love boating (being on the water is simply the best) and cycling (it’s next to being on the water).
