Welcome!

I am a college professor, a men’s development coach, an author, and an associate marriage & family therapist. My career has been focused on dual passions: a passion for education, and a passion for men’s mental health. My educational career consists of classroom teaching, program coordination, and college administration that spans more than 30 years. My second passion for psychology and mental health has led to my journey to become the leading men’s therapist, as well as the publication of the award-winning book Joker to King.

In 2011, I earned my doctorate degree in educational leadership with a concentration in the pedagogical application of learning theory. In 2026, I completed a graduate program in Marriage & Family Therapy with a specialization in trauma studies. I also hold a certification as a personal development coach (certified through Lumia Coaching), a certification for premarital counseling (certified through SYMBIS), and a certification as a Veteran-Ready Healthcare Provider (certified through PsychArmor).
