He has dedicated his life to honing his skills as a psychotherapist and educator (teaching high school and college English and Communications/Rhetoric/Psychology/Sociology), high school and vocational school counselor, and ultimately a Behavioral Health Director (private practice from 1990 to 2006 as well as in rural Alaska since 2014).
