I am a retired teacher, having taught various subjects at the college level for over a half century. I enjoy studying comparative religion and mythology. I have been married for 42 years, our two children are grown, one has a horse ranch and the other works in an allied medical field.
My meditation practice spans four plus decades. During this time, I have practiced meditation in many of its various and splendid forms. I started teaching mindfulness meditation after I retired seven years ago.
I have been fortunate to have one career with many job opportunities within in, having served as full professor, research mentor, department director, dean, corporate and private chief academic officer/provost (online and ground pedagogies), board member, accreditation liaison officer, national and regional accreditation site visitor, and as president & CEO.
My academic experience spans post-secondary education, healthcare, information technology, professional services, consulting, hardware and software development, comparative religion, and meditation practice.
