Finally, one of the most energizing and humbling experiences was when this therapist was deeply honored to be asked by Pastor Bobby Keen to speak at a multi-denominational men’s meeting with 13 different denominations. That single experience gave this therapist the confidence to share his story to help others.
As what has been seen from this list of different activities this therapist enjoys finding fulfillment in this life and the only joy they comes second to that is helping others do the same. Furthermore, this counselor enjoys exploring the world around him which includes visiting the Arkansas Diamond State Park as well as taking road trips across the United States and visiting museums.
