He is a subject expert in verbal and non-verbal communication skills and personally understands these challenges. His focus is on teaching successful communication strategies.

As a consultant, he facilitates training programs to school districts and organizations. His professional development workshops provide educators with strategies and techniques focusing on each student’s unique learning needs and creating an environment that enriches a student’s academic and social life.
As a coach, he endeavors to analyze an individual’s performance and develop appropriate strategies for strengthening their communication skills. His strong demonstrated ability to produce tangible and positive outcomes through the development, practice, utilization, and retention of effective communication skills has led to overcoming their limitations and becoming confident and contributing members of society.
