"The key to
successful counseling is timing." |
Mike is not only a man of many talents, he
is also a whirlwind of energy and enthusiasm. In addition to his duties as
Executive Director of both Resource Guidance Services and Christian
Counseling Associates, Mike is a facilitator for Crisis Care Network, a
field instructor for VCU's School of Social Work, Director of Adoption
Resources International, and Director of Social Services for Sense
Resource Center.
Much of his stalwart work ethic comes from his childhood
years where he lived in dairy farm country in Allegheny, NY. His two sons
have also followed in his socially conscious footsteps. One is a clinical
social worker in the Boston area, and the other is a domestic missionary
to international students at UVA.
