What do you attribute your success to?

Growing up in his small town in Pa. everybody knows everybody and takes responsibility for their neighbors.? This was true at Mansfield University who was known as the friendliest college in Pa.? I was known as a person who was an achiever with good morales and insights.
This served me well at Penn State, my carrer as a school counselor, an officer in the National Guard and Reserve and at the University of South Dakota.

I have never been one to hide behind the doctor title but consider myself equal to my clients only having more information on a certain subject.
I have always been describe as the first to research and practice the latest information available sometimes to my own detriment, but it never stops me.

I have researched and written several articles on substance abuse and a personal article on my experiences with prostate cancer.
