Beginning my 10th year as a professor is something I greatly look forward to as I enjoy the vitality of the students and the collegiality of fellow staff and professors. OCU is a great place to work.
My career includes working with persons with developmental handicaps, addicted individuals, and numerous mental health issues. I have also had the enjoyable privelege of serving as a pastor for 9 years in the United Methodist Church.
Concerning credentials, I am a Supervising Professional Clinical Counselor (PCC-S), Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) and Fellow in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors as well as an Elder in the U.M. Church.
My spouse, Diane, and I live in the South Bloomfield area. We are proud parents of two adult daughters.
