Since returning home from the Navy in 1971 I’ve had a long and varied career encompassing Clinical Social Work with children, teens, adults and families in mental health and substance abuse outpatient, intensive outpatient, day hospital, residential and inpatient settings, and in rural and urban areas. My 1990 participation in the New Warrior Training, a particularly rich facet of the Men’s Movement, was the most life-changing event of my career, and influenced everything I have done since. It enhanced my personal and professional experience with the ACOA movement, during which I was a member of a team of trained therapists using Experiential Therapy with trauma survivors in weekend retreats for men and for men & women in Rockford, Illinois. Later came marriage to a wonderful woman, warrior and therapist, work at Milwaukee Psychiatric Hospital and our move to Alaska in 1998. I’ve been an invited participant in “Native doings” since 1973 and in Interior Alaska I worked with Alaska Natives in a village-based and itinerant program for nine years. I will be forever indebted to my Indian and Eskimo friends for how I was changed by the relationships made and lessons learned. The most recent phase of my transformation has involved working with combat veterans with PTSD and TBI while employed by the Air Force, VA and Army utilizing exposure-based treatment elements of CPT, PE and EMDR, Jungian Psychology plus what my active duty background taught me. And now, retirement is a part-time private practice. Despite my initial sea change in vocations, I still love working on my own vehicles and have owned and driven a MG and a Porsche. I also love hiking, bicycling, sailing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, reading, movies and being both a godfather and a grandfather.
