A few things about myself...

A little more about Scott

After spending four enlightening years in the Marine Corps, I attended Harding University in Arkansas where I earned my bachelor’s degree and master’s degree. I am a Clinical member of both the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy and the American Association of Christian Counselors. I’ve worked as a manager in residential and out-patient treatment centers for adults and adolescents who struggled with depression, substance dependency, and other challenging issues. I was also on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Therapeutic Wilderness Camps. I have a love and passion for counseling; it’s what I enjoy doing.

Here a but a few of the highlights:

  • May 29 1964 Born in Detroit Michigan. It was on this date that I became a loyal fan of all Michigan teams and pronounced the State of Ohio as my arch enemy.
