He now holds the highest level of certification in WA State to treat perpetrators of domestic violence and created “A New Man” and “A New Woman” abuse prevention programs. Each is a WA State Certified Domestic Violence Perpetrator Treatment Program that is designed to meet the culturally-specific needs of those perpetrators who identify with a Christian faith and seek to overcome their abusive and controlling behaviors.

He also helped to establish and remains a member of the board of directors of PureHeart Ministries, a recovery group for men struggling with unwanted sexual habits and/or addictions.
“As a Christian counselor, I must maintain the highest regard for the portrayal of the Father’s heart
for those in need, Christ’s compassion for the lost and hurting, and the Holy Spirit’s work of
comfort and guidance.”
