I am continuing to keep track of student's drinking behaviors and  using class room interventions to decrease risk in students high risk behavior with drinking. I have been working on establishing trends in drinking behavior on UWW campus since 1998. I hope to establish  significant reductions in drinking from beginning to end of class period by using a research based personal risk assessment.  So far the results are encouraging.  

I teach a number of sections of Alcohol and Other Drugs in our department. 

I have a BS in Psychology from UW-Madison and an M.S. in Counseling and Guidance from UW-Whitewater.  I am also a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor at the highest level (level 3).

In addition, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Professional Counselor through the State Department of Regulations and Licensing.  

I am a member of ACA (American Counseling Association) and a member of NASW (National Association of Social workers).  In addition, I am a member of the C.G. Jung Institute of Chicago.  

I like to read, play with our cats, spend time with my great wife Joanie, and go for bike rides.  I have a deep interest in Christianity and other forms of Spiritual expression. I also am interested in the field of Addictions and how to incorporate change strategies into life.
