His repertoire of experience in all levels of government, as well as the private workplace, has given him an uncanny awareness of the dynamics of employer/employee relationships. He has addressed those relationships from both the legal and humanistic perspective.  Yet always in a light and sometimes humorous manner.

He has an unmatched affinity towards families and children. He offers a solid understanding of the structural and dynamic components of families. As a Veteran, he dedicates his time and experience to improve the conditions and well-being of our military Veterans and their families.

As a Psychotherapist for over the past decade, he has developed and committed himself towards reducing anger, violence, and conflict in every venue where people exist; home, work, and school.  He operates a weekly blog and weekly podcast dedicated towards teaching and improving skills in Conflict Resolution.

He is a sought after Mediator having worked with the United States Postal Service in their employee grievance program as well as with the Good Shepherd Mediation Program in their Community Mediation Program.

He is a Clergyperson and forged his speaking skills in several pulpits in the Tri-state area of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.  He now serves in a specialized ministry as a Christian Conciliator.
