This website mash-up is reflective of my life ... many interests, influences, and experiences. I started writing as a child; started taking photographs as a teen; I worked in the record industry for a time; then returned to graduate school to pursue psychology. Now what? I'm trying to create an untitled entity that combines a number of my skills and passions.

My graduate degree (Master of Science) is in community/clinical psychology, from CSU Long Beach. I also studied journalism and education. I could be called a "life coach," a consultant, mentor, or any other title that implies the helping / organizing nature of my work. Primarily, I seek to impart others with the tools necessary for making informed, insightful, and enjoyable life decisions. This process is accomplished by providing an impartial environment in which to generate alternatives, bolster strengths, and ameliorate vulnerabilities. More information about available services can be read elsewhere (here!) on this website.
The first decade of my adult life was spent working in the record industry. I served as manager/publicist/producer for local progressive rock bands in the late 1970s and 1980s; in addition, I also worked in music publicity for a Los Angeles PR agency, and also for a major record label. Additionally, I managed local music acts , and co-produced an acoustic guitar album.

Through the years I have planned, organized, implemented, and evaluated. I've also budgeted, publicized, photographed, designed, hosted, and coordinated. I have assuaged frayed nerves, given calming assurances encouragement, and unruffled maligned egos. I have started and operated small businesses; organized events; contracted with and coordinated vendors, volunteers, and staff. Keeping the details simple while striving for maximum impact is my overarching goal. And, for the process to be instructive and gratifying.
