Interests
I was born and raised in Los Angeles California. I moved to Utah when I was offered a football scholarship to Utah State University in 2001. I had the opportunity to play a sport that I love and also earned a degree in a field that intrigued me. During this time I was blessed to meet my wife, followed by two beautiful children. I enjoy physical activities, coaching, and spending time with friends and family. I’m always looking for different ways to better myself and those who are in my care. I believe any setting can serve as a therapeutic environment if we are looking for the opportunity to speak truth into someone’s life.
Comments on DRA
It is truly a blessing to have the opportunity to work with the students and staff at Diamond Ranch Academy. Counseling students and families gives me the opportunity to reunite and provide support during the healing process. It is an amazing feeling to guide students through the stages of change and help them reach milestones in their lives. I’m excited to be part of the clinical team at DRA, I believe in equipping students with as much knowledge as possible to make a confident transition back into their home.
