I was born in Leadville, Colorado in the mid 1950's. I missed the Sixties the first time around, and am immensely enjoying them now. I have absolutely no intention of retiring any time soon. Life is becoming more fun every day. Some folks end up bitter and discouraged later in their life. I'm an oddity because my vessel (body) is in great shape; drug free (even pharmaceuticals) healthy and vital. Wisdom means a bunch of experiences, lots of education, and a willingness to try, try again. I am generally happy, optimistic about humanity's future.

My work life started at age 12, ambitiously (sort of) working for a farmer in western Nebraska. I earned enough at 50 cents an hour to pay cash for my first car. Now, at no time did I ever hear myself say to that age old question: (What do you want to be when you grow up?) "I want to be an Environmental Consultant." That's what happened. Seems like life lived me instead of the other way around.

In between, I did grocery bag-out, production manufacturing, phone cable spilling, railroading, house painting, and flower planting, to name a few jobs. Ever the grand visioneer, I always saw the possibilities of what I was doing, always concerned about learning all I could abbott the business I was in. So, when I was first employed as an asbestos abatement worker, I was more interested in the big picture than the day's work. I learned quickly, and soon was running crews, and then projects. I continued to educate myself, and enrolled in lots of extra training courses, and started my first business part-time in 1988, doing building inspections for asbestos.

I performed my first training-lecture session in 1988, teaching students in the fine art of cleaning hospitals. It seems that there's a lot of truth in the adage "necessity is the mother of invention." Since that first foray, I've developed entire courses and took them on the road in the mid 1990's. Today, I'm still at it, still getting chicken skin when I see the light come on in a student's consciousness.

All that technical teaching and training has been augmented by a deep interest in everything universal: metaphysics, physics, chemistry, biology, religion, psychology, parapsychology, history, religion, personal development, conspiracy theory, law and fishing, to name a few. My wife calls me "encyclopedia boy."

So much time in front of an audience for an empathic individual like myself has lead to a unique teaching style that allows me to draw simultaneous feedback from the folks in the chairs, and I use that information to alter the delivery, and draw more participation from the participants, always circling back to the agenda, always making sure that the topics are covered in detail. Let's try it and see how it works for you.
