I am a bright accomplished guy passionate about my profession (psychology) and the outdoors.

I recently moved to the Twin Cities to start a new position as a faculty member in a doctoral graduate program in clinical psychology and part-time in private practice.

I have been working with troubled people who are less fortunate than myself since I graduated from college. I have developed and provided clinical leadership for several programs for individuals who have developmental disability and/or who have experienced brain injury. I combine my interests in neuropsychology, rehabilitation and psychoanalysis to really work with people in depth and in a very personal way.

Now I have left that work and have gone into teaching. There is something special about being able to inspire students in the classroom and to give to the next generation which I find very rewarding at this point in my life. I'll also maintain a part-time private practice.

Photography, especially nature and landscape photography is a long-time hobby of mine since childhood. I love to take roadtrip on backroads, soak in the scenery and find new intereseting off-the beaten path kind of places to check out. I also enjoy film, music - especially live performance. I'm starting to get involved in video production as a hobby now.

My work - teaching, assessment and psychotherapy. Cooking. Nature and landscape photography. Compassion ... and I'm working on wisdom.

My bright blue eyes then my intelligence, gentleness, compassion and inner strength.

Here are some of the many ...

Books: Right now I'm re-reading Foucault's "History of Madness", Lacan (yes ... I do actually get it), Andre Green, Freud, The Snow Leopard, Blue Highways, Zen Mind-Beginners Mind, Team of Rivals (about Abraham Lincoln).

Movies: The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Il Postino, Like Water to Chocolate, Braveheart, etc.

Music: Muddy, Clapton, Pinetop Perkins, Big Walter Horton, Freddy

Foods: Indian, Thai, Chinese, etc.

Reflecting back on my day and wondering the way I can be more compassionate, caring and wise.

The way for everyone to come together so we can improve make a difference for the better.

Warmer weather!

With friends sharing food, conversation and laughter

Ask me anything. I'm game.

You are a bright woman with spirit and a passion for living life fully. Someone special who would challenge me as Lincoln said: "Towards the special angels of our nature." A woman who cares and gets it. Some one who would appreciate the following quote:

"The only way we may come to know our desire is to see it reflected in the gaze of the Other." Lacan
