Bruce
My dad told me once in an off-handed way that I just must be a lucky guy. That with all the twists, turns, and confusion, things just seemed to work out for me. And actually, as it turns out, he was right. Career-wise it showed up in that after no less than 6 different career transitions, my occupational destiny found me. And now, as full-time practicing psychologist and director of The Counseling Center at Christ Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee, I get to be engaged in the courageous healing and sacred transformation of the hundreds of clients I care about. Additionally, I get to join the professional and personal fulfillment of my graduate students as adjunct professor at Trevecca Nazarene University, where I teach master and doctoral level courses in Ethics and Professional Standards. But by far, my best fortunes have come within the ‘rapture and rupture’ of 26-years of marriage to my irresistible wife Debbie (on whose ring I inscribed and intend “all my love for life”), and through out the over 20 years of rollicking and wrestling with the three best sons on the planet: Bub, Kev and Chris. I really do lead the blessed and charmed Scottish-Irish life of love for God and family (…and Tennessee football)!
