As a former teacher of 15 years and currently a reading specialist, he combines his professional experiences and personal background to deliver an informative and inspiring children’s book: Why Is Sam So Sad? Seasonal Affective disorder and Depression from a Child’s Perspective (Christian Faith Publishing).

The son of a librarian, he received his Bachelor’s Degree from University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Special Education LD/ED and earned a Master’s Degree from University of Northern Arizona for Early Childhood Education.

His adventurous side has been served by scuba-diving in Jamaica, mountain-biked down the hills of Park City Utah, jumping out of a plane twice, hiking from the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the top of Mount Humphries and then hiking to the top the top of Mount Timpanogos in Utah. He also jumped into the freezing cold waters during the polar plunge.
