He has extensive experience as an outdoor/experiential educator, facilitator and wilderness adventure professional (w/ current Wilderness EMT certifications as a SOLO Wilderness First Responder Instructor and a level II Maine Whitewater Guide license). He has gathered his professional experience across a variety of residential treatment, assessment, advocacy and support settings and has been serving the emotional, developmental, educational and vocational needs of youth at risk and their families in a strength-based, experiential and holistic manner for over sixteen years. Utilizing a CBT and systems approach, the power of mindfulness, healthy relationship (with self, others and the world around us), unconditional positive regard, wilderness experiences and adventure as some of the means for healthy change, his approach to holistic and sustainable change has been as dynamic and eclectic as his background and experience.
