I received my BS in Psychology from Georgetown University and my MA and Ph.D. at the
University of Hawaii at Manoa. I have been in practice in Hawaii since 1980. I have taught
psychology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, West Oahu and Windward Community
College and Chaminade University. I was the founder of the professional school of
psychology movement in Hawaii, starting the Hawaii School of Professional Psychology
which we merged with the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology. I was the founding
dean of the Hawaii campus. After I left Forest, it became Argosy University.
I have served as a consultant to the Department of Health at the children's unit at Leahi
Hospital and at the Windward Children's Team. Also, I have served as a psychological
consultant to Queen's Medical Center, to Hawaii Job Corps and to several of the largest
corporations in Hawaii.
My hobbies and interests include water sports and fitness. I have built a 47' ketch sailboat
which I sailed to Hawaii. I have a captain's license from the US Coast Guard and have done
charter for Princeville, Club Med and Sea Grant at the University of Hawaii. I love to surf and
rarely miss a week. I once was the tennis pro at Club Med when they were on Kauai in the
1970's.
I am married to a school teacher and together we have a blended family of three children.
