Biography
The most typical questions I receive are:
- How did you get to be a coach?
- What's your background and training?
All of my adult life I’ve been involved in personal growth programs. Beginning in the mid 60’s my wife and I were actively engaged in leading evening, weekend and week-long seminars, as well as working on curriculum development and training. This was the beginning of activities that would ultimately lead to my becoming a personal and business coach.

At the same time I was supporting and raising my family and developing my insurance and benefit planning business. My business experience provided me an opportunity to develop an ethically based insurance practice, and to have a chance to begin training other agents in sales and marketing activities.
In 1996 I hired my first coach. She helped me so much that I was inspired to enter a coaching training program soon thereafter, as I felt I’d found my calling. I subsequently graduated from Coach U and then from a business-coaching program called B\Coach.
As a personal and business coach I am using the techniques, skills and training I've learned over the last 35 years. All my educational programs and coaching services are based on this background, so that now I can say that my basic purpose is to help you be your best and to help you do your best.
