About Me

I am a 59 year old educator who lives a bi-locale life. My work is in Tallahassee, Florida,  my family in Cullowhee, North Carolina. Have have two adult children and 10 or so grandkids. In Florida, I live with my two dogs on a small plot of land in the woods where I read, write, teach online, raise chickens and goats and a garden. In NC I have a larger plot of land where I reflect, garden, raise chickens and goats, and grandkids. Integral informs  my work with prospective and practicing teachers helping me to "speak into their hearing" with skillful means. Accepting where they are and encouraging them to go deeper is my goal.
