I have 40 years in health care experience including instructing and writing in the business and college environments. My experience includes military, hospital inpatient and outpatient facilities, psychology, nursing facilities and severe and profound MR. I have researched and composed training materials and published related writings and books. I have experience in using herbs from my childhood under my father's tutelage, and have continued that interest through ongoing studies and practical experience.
In addition to healthcare I have been trained in Karate, Tai Chi, and Ninpo Tai Jutzu. I functioned as a self defense instructor for the state of Virginia for three years. I have published works related to self defense as well as training materials. I have been trained in several approaches to self defense related to patients. These are unique in that the requirements were an absence of pain techniques
