I was born in California but was raised in Washington state. I am a U.S. Army veteran. I currently run my own survey company in East Tennessee and I am an adjunct communication professor at Walters State Community College.
I come from a “broken” home. I have lived with my single mother in near poverty as well as my dad and step-mom (as upper lower or lower middle class). I married early (19) and created an instant family (wife and 3 step-children (7, 6, and 2)) for myself. My second wife has 1 child. While I have not had a biological child of my own, I have raised step-children, nieces, and a nephew from all stages (newborn through adulthood).
I am happily married and living in East Tennessee with my wife and two Shar Pei mutts.
I hold a Bachelors in Cartography (with a survey emphasis) and a Masters in communication with a concentration in Alternative Dispute Resolution (and an internal focus in adult education).
I have taken the Rule 31 training for Civil, Family and Divorce, and for Domestic Violence. In all, I have had well over 100 hours (outside of academia) in mediation.
I am Rule 31 Listed for Civil and meet all requirements for family listing except my relative employment requirement (which my teaching is resolving).
