Background

My background is in Art and Technology.  This elegantly translates to an appreciation of beauty, curiosity, communication and a desire to improve the environment in which I live.   For the past 12 years I have been working in the Technology field as a manager, executive and consultant as well as keeping up a career as an artist.  My life has always contained both Art and Business.   My ability to listen and help bring about change has had a lot to do with my success.  My role as an Archetypal Consultant compliments and expands on my experience in both realms.

I have always been interested in people and the why’s and how’s of what we make of our lives as we live them.  My deep curiosity has lead me to many fascinating places on this planet as well as the study of  philosophy, psychology, linguistics, cultural anthropology, mythology and martial arts.

I’ve been honored to work with many great teachers and noble friends along the way and my dedication to learning still thrives.  Some of the esteemed teachers that I have had the privilege to work with are Caroline Myss, Ken Wilber, Jim Curtan, Jean Houston, Richard Tarnas, Tim Freke, and David Whyte.

I’m dedicated to expanding my horizons in training and education not only to propel myself to greater effectiveness and understanding but to be of better service to my clients and my community.

I am affiliated with the Center for Applications of Psychological Type, The Integral Institute, TEDxSF and of course the CMED Institute from which I am a graduate.

Choosing someone to work with in this capacity has much to do with the person as well as the modality, so if you’d like to know more about me there is a brief interview here.  Do feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
