Personal
Married 30 years to my Life Partner, Cathy. We have two grown children, Kathleen and Kevin. My favorite renewal activity is sharing the natural beauty of Chicago's Botanical Gardens and Arboretums with my wife. I make great pies! My neighbors call me the "The Peach Man" for my talent in choosing perfect peaches from our Farmer's Market, baking them into pies, and sharing them with those I care about.
Coaching Style
I create a warm, safe space for my clients to unfold and grow by being compassionate, unconditional, and supportive. I enjoy teaching the skills and information that help you experience relaxed joyfulness and full aliveness in your relationships.
