First of all, I’m very excited about the opportunity to join this beautiful community. I look forward to getting to know many of you. A little about me- I was raised on a farm outside Sioux Falls SD. On finishing college, I spent time living in a suburb of Chicago, the burbs of Denver, and moved to Yuma AZ (sight unseen) for 17 years. I currently live in Ahwatukee with my wife Deborah and our triplet 15-year-old grandsons.

After 19 years of working in hospitals/schools and 17 working for the local phone company, I’ve just embarked on my final career to enjoy until retirement really happens (more on that later). I’ve always found myself gravitating towards working with others to better their life experience. Whether that involves helping to relieve stress and get out the darkness that gets in the way or to work to bring peace, relaxation and remembering there is joy in the world around us. I have found that massage is another way to be a part of that.
