First and foremost I would like to say that I am a family man first and work as a counselor/businessman second. I have a beautiful wife (Valerie) and child (Christopher) that I love to come home to and see every night. The mobile marketing strategy that I have learned and continue to learn is what continues to drive me towards success. The fields of counseling which I have been a part of for the past 11 years has been quiet the challenge. I have held the following positions in my professional tenor: Program Manager for a Detoxification Unit, Intake Counselor, Treatment Coordinator, Counselor Intern, Anger Therapist, Case Manager, Admission Counselor, Senior Counselor and Mobile Marketing Entrepreneur. The field of chemical dependency has been a struggle with family members and the people I care about dearly. One of the reasons the field of counseling interested me is because I wanted to understand more about how to break the cycle of dysfunction and learn how to change from the inside out. This passion of mine has led me to help hundreds of people through my career however it does not seem to making a big enough dent. The solution for this issue is to write directly to my viewers, educate them on treatment stages, provide strategies and techniques on dealing with people in active addiction, as well as referrals for inpatient/outpatient care. Blogs will be sent one weekly to discuss the issues with substance use and dealing with addiction. If any viewers have questions or comments please feel free to post them as I will reply as promptly as possible.
