I have over 25 years of experience as a psychotherapist and marriage counselor. A graduate of Princeton University and former officer in the United States Marine Corps, I also was co-author and co-producer of Rooftops of New York, an Academy Award nominated short subject film. I lived in Japan for four years, studying and practicing the disciplines of Zen Buddhism, and spent a year as a lay monk in the Ryutaku-ji Zen Monastery.

I received a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology in 1974 and went on to found the first intensive outpatient addiction treatment program in Maryland. From 1975 through 1986 I studied under the great Sufi Master M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen.

I live happily in the Pennsylvania countryside with my wife and spend as much time as possible with my grandson and family.
