Professionalism and Experience
I lettered in track and football at James B. Castle High School, where I graduated in 1985. I also competed at the professional level of Bodyboarding and was ranked among the top in the World. I graduated with a Master's of Education in Counseling and Guidance in 1996. I have been providing individual and Group therapy to at-risk youth and their families for the Department of Education as a Behavioral Specialist for over 20 years. I was also honored as the Private Provider of the Year for Outstanding Service to Children with Special Needs and their Families by the Windward Community Children's Council and the State of Hawaii's Department of Health. I have over 20 years of working in the non-profit sector and 10-plus years in the private sector.

I have also been consulting individuals and groups in the Sydney Banks Three Principles for over 25 years. In 1998, I was fortunate to get hired by Hawaii Counseling and Education (HCEC) as a Clinical Therapist by founder Christine Heath. While at HCEC, I was introduced to and trained in the three principles. This is where I met Sydney Banks and became a friend and student of his. I have continued sharing his principles and making a difference in people's lives for the last 28 years.
