About me

Gender Male
Introduction My wife, Lillie, and I raised four beautiful children who have excelled in sports, school, music, etc. Three of our kids made good choices in their lives and we thought we were the world’s best parents. Then, tragically, some older kids introduced our youngest son to drugs. As we waded through a hellish nightmare of police, jail, drug programs, counselors, and psychologists we wondered where we had gone wrong. Through hundreds of hours of individual, family and group counseling, I found that I knew very little about raising a family, and realized that good parenting didn't just happen; that parenting is a science based upon correct principles. I went back to school and earned a Masters degree in Marriage, Family and Child Therapy, and a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology. With this knowledge, I was able to help our son. I then made it my life’s mission to help others. That experience, combined with the information and data from studies, along with the thousands of hours of individual and family counseling I have given, helped me in developing some incredibly powerful parenting programs.
