Interests
I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, running, or camping. In my mind, nothing compares to the beauty of the desert and the star-filled night sky. I have a beautiful wife and three rowdy boys who keep me occupied when not working. As a family, we love traveling and have had the opportunity to travel to various asian countries. I enjoy working with teenagers and see great potential in today’s youth and their families. I love the opportunity to witness change and progress in the process of self-awareness and discovery.
Comments on DRA
I moved back to St. George from northern Utah for the opportunity to work at Diamond Ranch Academy. It was DRA’s program opportunities and commitment to families that ultimately brought me here. They have a great program that involves youth in activities that can shape participants in to capable and responsible individuals. Above all, the therapeutic process involves the entire family to bring about lasting, long-term healing and development.
