Why I Love What I Do: I have been a Wiley partner for years, and used the Everything DiSC suite of products with many clients. CoreClarity gives me the missing piece. It helps me tell my clients the "why" behind their DiSC behavior, and the driver behind their motivations. It's an elegant offering for our times - relevant, simple, and actionable.

Up Close & Personal: We have 7 grandchildren and 4 adult children that we are close to, with currently 4 dogs and 1 cat between us. We love bluegrass music festivals and have season tickets to musicals. I am active in NSA, ATD and on the board for Together, We can change the world, a charity serving women and children in SE Asia.
