It is a privilege to teach in the healing arts and I have been blessed to work with and learn from many mentors and colleagues. Through those experiences I have learned what to emulate and, in some cases, what to avoid. Ultimately the goal to pursue excellence was impressed upon me at a young age by my mother, who asked, “son, average is being either “the top of the bottom” or “the bottom of the top”, do you want to be average?” Her challenge to not settle for being average has stuck with me throughout my life.
