I grew up in NYC and moved to Colorado in 1971.  I graduated from the New School For Social Research, then from the University of Denver with an M.S.W.  My resume covers many of the places I have worked and describes the work I have done in the past.  I believe that how I work today, although it has a synergistic synchronicity from all I have done in the past, should be evaluated not on the basis of what you read about me, but on the basis of how I relate with you.  My resume only describes my professional work experience, who I am, and how I work is however the gestalt of all the different avenues I have explored in life.  Mostly, I seek meaning in the life, I enjoy challenges, and I aspire to grow until my last breath. An abbreviated CV spanning the essence of my practice of the past 40 years is below.
