I am gaining experience working with individuals, adolescents, and families throughout Southeast Wyoming. I am a provisionally Licensed Professional Counselor under the supervision of Adam Stuart-Walker MA, MA, LPC, NCC and am working towards my credentialing as a National Certified Counselor. I hold a Masters of Arts in Clinical Mental Counseling from Chadron State College. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Pastoral Studies from Calvary Bible College and was a full-time pastor for seventeen years. 

I have been married to the love of his life Caroline for thirty three years. And together we have three adult children and three grandchildren. I also think that it's important to let this community know they have a dog and a cat who demand their love!
