I played quarterback at University of Oregon as well as Whittier College where I graduated in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree in communications. I went on to earn my Masters degree in Public Administration from National University in 2010. 

I am a certified professional and personal life coach with professional presentations for Orange County Probation, Riverside Probation, San Bernardino Probation, South Hills Football Coaches Academy, The Community Service Agency, and First Choice Community Management.               

My coaching philosophy is found in Psalms 78:72, “…he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart… and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.”
