About Me

A Little About Me:

I was born into a wonderful family in Rockord, Illinois, the first son in a family of six siblings.

In 1976 I came to Los Angeles to pursue my acting and music career. After some success in those areas, I moved into the business/studio side of the motion picture business.

Highlights of my career in the motion picture business involved working with Jon Peters when he was co-chairman of the newly formed Sony Pictures Entertainment, and also working with Buffy Shutt and Kathy Jones, co-presidents of marketing for Universal Pictures. 

While I enjoyed that part of my career, I knew my talents and interests were more fitting helping others manifest their lives in new and satisfying ways. In the year 2000, I attained my masters degree in Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate Institute, in Encino California.

In 2002 I began work on my internship hours toward licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), and directly assisting people finding better ways of communicating with each other.

In 2006, I launched my life-Coaching practice, called Lifesculptors.net. My technique, “Manifestation Coaching,” is a process of growth and good planning, inspiration, encouragement, and confrontation, when appropriate.

I give my clients pragmatic attainable steps in moving toward their goals. In my work, I use the skills garnered from various areas of my career. I combine those skills in creative ways depending upon the challenge placed before me. I believe concise action is more than a meaningful idea; it’s an attainable goal!

What do I do? I assist clients in manifesting real change in their lives.
