I have been at Lindsey Wilson College since 1994. Before lindsey, I was an Assistant Professor at Slippery Rock State Univeristy in PA. and Assistant Professor at Peabody College of Vanderbilt University, Nashville , TN. I have a small marriage and family private therapy practice in Nashville, TN. My dog Daisy and I volunteer weekly at the Parthenon Pavilion Centennial Hopsital and at Alive Hospice Residence in Nashville, TN. We have been doing this for five years. Giving back has been one of the most rewarding endeavors of my career.

I served at TAAMFT President for two years, and have been on serveral committess for the American Counseling Assoication.
I have been very fortunate to be recognized both for my volunteer work and for my teaching. Daisy and I received the Frist Humanitarian Award from HCA Centennial Hospital. I have received outstanding teaching awards from Lindsey Wilson College, Peabody Roundtable, and Slippery Rock State University. I also received the Outstanding Alumni award ( George Hill) from Ohio University.

I have taught Sunday School, been a Lay Director and served on the board for Ministries with the Methodist Board
I find myself as enthusiastic about teachiing and learning today as I did when I started many years ago. One of the experiences I treasure are my 10 years overseas teaching for the Department of Defense School Systems and for Vanderbilt University.
