A little about me. This year I celebrate 40 years of marriage to Laura. We have two daughters and four granddaughters. Apparently neither my sons-in-law nor I carry Y chromosomes.
==I graduated with my doctorate from the University of Oregon in 1991. I spent the next 19 years studying spontaneous influence conditions (life changing moments). That work eventually culminated in my award winning book “Sudden Influence: Spontaneous Events That Shape Our Lives,” Praegar Press, 2007. www.suddeninfluence.com== ==I've lived most of my life in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada working as a teacher, instructor, and psychologist. I taught at SOU (SOSC at the time) in the early nineties. My teaching experience spans the entire spectrum: elementary, junior high, high school, undergraduate, and graduate education. My broad counseling experience includes adolescent counseling, family and marriage therapy, addictions, and forensics.==
