I am a trained presenter of information. I DO NOT provide research. I present material from the research community on young adults.
Below you will find all of the accomplishments associated with me putting myself as most important. With the exception of Pastoral Counseling, all of what is listed below is what drove me, what I thought was important, until I found that having God in my heart and life was truly the accomplishment that mattered. Click here if that is the person you want to know.

The parenting style I am seeing today is very permissive. Generation Health, a British Columbia organization, has titled them “Jellyfish” parents. This parenting style places few rules or demands on kids and parents seldom follow through on consequences when children do not follow the rules. Generation Health reports this approach often results in children who rank low in happiness and self-regulation.
From my experience as a Pastor Counselor, I know we can influence how children will behave as an adult. Likewise, it is easy to recognize how generations starting with Baby Boomers through today’s Jellyfish parents have intentionally tried to make life better for their children and unintentionally made things worse. I believe you will agree that preparing tomorrow’s adults will start with today’s children. When presented with the skills to better prepare their children for adulthood, I believe most parents will agree.
I have all the ingredients necessary to communicate the results of multiple authors’ research into a clearly defined strategy. As Melvin J Brown, Ed. D, Superintendent at Montgomery Public Schools, recently wrote on LinkedIn, “There are those who think change should be immediate and results come overnight. They are wrong. Real, transformative changes takes time, effort, strategy, and discomfort. It requires us to do things not done before. As a collective, teams must understand this.” “Change Is A Process, Not An Event”.
Please join me in getting familiar with the process.
