His intention in writing is to share how this philosophical gyroscope has allowed him to stay afloat, well oriented, spiritually engaged, and sailing on enthusiastically. Perseverance through a BS degree in electrical engineering (RHIT), a master’s degree in philosophy (ISC), two years of study at Union Theological Seminary (NYC), a year and a half study and analysis at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zürich, and a PhD in counseling psychology (ISU) brought him to an enriching and satisfying career in teaching family medicine residents, and clinical practice for thirty-three years (MUSC).
Over the last thirty-five years, the author has practiced and taught Tae Kwon Do to children and adults. Now a sixth dan black belt, he will, someday, go to rest in a simple pine casket, wearing a gi and a white belt. For more circular and gracefully intimate exercise, he enjoys dancing with his wife. They share the successes, joys, and frustrations of an ever-growing extended family on two continents.view less
