Like everyone else, I have found life to have its ebbs and flows. The twists and turns of my life have taken me through difficult times and peaceful times. Some of the things that I enjoy doing are hiking in the mountains, weightlifting, days on the lake, woodworking and restoring old cars. I am divorced and now a husband and partner to Wendy and father to adult children. I started out in the construction world, working with my hands. It was a rewarding career that allowed me to connect with people from all walks of life. As a counsellor I continue to have the privilege of listening to people’s stories, walking alongside them. I believe we are made for intimacy. As partners and families, we are looking for closeness.
