I grew up on a farm and moved to the City after college in my 20s.  I taught elementary school for 5 years before moving into economic development and commercial real estate.  My farm values continue with me, and have incorporated themselves into my entreneurial city mentality. I am a published author and speaker and love to travel.  My favorite book and inspiration in life is "How to Stop Worry and Start Living" by Dale Carnegie.  My friends and family and reverence are the keystone to my life which give me the "Can Do" attitude that has brought me to my success and happiness. I believe all things are possible with the right attitude and use this attitude to create a happier life for those I come in contact with.  www.relationshipcopingskills.com
