Owner and President
When I'm not busy managing my company, I enjoy biking, hiking, kayaking, camping, playing guitar and spending time with family. I am father of two twenty-somethings - both entering their careers and making their way in the world. I enjoy writing, poetry, and songwriting. Much of my creativity currently is being applied to build my business and team and help people discover new possibilities.

Specialties
For over 30 years, I have focused on helping people and organizations discover new possibilities through collaborative decision-making processes. I have worked with governments, non-profits, communities, and businesses helping them to address their challenges and take action on opportunities. As a facilitator with 30 years of experience, I particularly enjoy designing and leading multiple-benefit collaborative processes which advance complex natural resource and sustainability initiatives. My strengths lie in my ability to guide strategic discussions, build effective teams and organizations, and facilitate constructive and collaborative decision making. I draw upon my extensive history working on environmental and ecosystem resilience. I have led and participated in decades of productive public engagement. I try to bring an optimism to my work that entrusts every person with a desire to create positive and innovative outcomes.
Education and Certifications
