  The happy egghead says "Welcome"! This is a website in progress. I'm starting with the typical, socially expected things and will progress to the more personal & idiosyncractic within the site, as time permits ( besides, summers in the Adirondacks means I'm not on the computer much!! ). Here's some of what I'm up to these days now that I've semi-retired as a psychologist: (Some of the topics below are also link buttons at L) - Graduate Gemologist (GIA), with a passion for colored gemstones (especially tourmaline), and fine jewelry
- Gem & Jewelry MasterValuer® appraiser
- Personal Life Coach - mostly via telephone - specializing since 2003 in tobacco addiction & naturopathic wellness; click here.
- Diplomate in homeobotanical therapy (HbT), a naturopathic modality that combines botanical and homeopathic approaches to wellness. I specialize in homeobotanical preparations to use with tobacco cessation.
- Energy psychology - I'm excited to begin additional studies in energy psychology for eventual diplomate status, Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP)
- Author,Conquer Tobacco Naturally ... and other books;
- Review Board, Gemological Abstracts, for Gems & Gemology journal. Some examples of articles I abstracted, if you're interested.
- Scuba diving instructor (PADI) since 1987 (over 2000 logged dives in the Caribbean), and occasional adventure travel guide to those warm, clear waters
- FAA licensed airplane pilot since 1987. I fly a C-172 and am building a Challenger II experimental aircraft.
- Collector, tropical butterflies (specializing in the genus ornithoptera); amateur flower gardener
- 20 year student of contemporary philosopher Ken Wilber and Integral Theory (IntegralWorld.net is a tremendous source of hundreds of scholarly articles on IT)
- Still a pretty decent tennis player after all these years, and learning all the time with USPTA tennis pro Nancy Simpson in Key West! Click here for a YouTube video of Nancy and me practicing half-volleys; and here for me volleying and here for groundstrokes.
