About Michael
If there is a difference between knowledge and wisdom it is age. The reason humans typically see wisdom in the elderly and not in adolescents is that life experience is required to gain perspective. I have come to a stage of my life where I hope that I may be able to claim both.
In the course of my 35 year (thus far) career in behavioral health, I have had the opportunity to have many varied experiences and serve in many roles such as:
- Psychotherapist/Counselor
- Professor
- Public Speaker
- Coach
- Author
- Supervisor
- Program Director
