About Me

I retired from counseling in September 2018 after 42 years of private practice in the Dallas. I  continue to serve the missionary community with East-West Ministries and with my home church PCPC (Park Cities Presbyterian Church). 

For six years in the late 90’s, I served on the Licensed Professional Counselor Board in Austin. In the early 2000s, I served nine years as Director of Counseling Services at Dallas Theological Seminary.

My short-term mission trips have taken me to Uzbekistan, Spain, Tanzania, Indonesia, Peru, China, the Middle East, Switzerland and Senegal. My passion is to care for those who care, but who often don’t take adequate care of themselves. Hence, the member care ministry fits well.

Educationally, I earned a PhD in Counseling from the University of North Texas, a ThM in New Testament Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary, and an earlier MS in Electrical Engineering from San Jose State College.

My wife Sonia and I have three grown children and has eight grandchildren.
