He is the founder and Executive Director of the Center, where he leads workshops and works with clients to help them embrace and live into the person they really want to be. He is the author of the "Polyamory Communication Survival Kit" and has presented thousands of workshops nationally and internationally. He recently presented a plenary workshop on self-esteem at the annual International Human Learning Resources Network conference, which is based on Virginia Satir’s work. He is the Executive Director of AHP.
