I am a two-time cancer survivor and father of six (3-Bio & 3-Adopted). I have been married to my best friend since 2006. Due to a childhood marked by poverty, abuse, and neglect, I have a deep experiential understanding of trauma & addiction. For me, this is more than a job. Helping people heal their psychological wounds is my purpose.
