I began working in the field of mental health and substance abuse in 1972. I was a clinician and clinical supervisor working with hardcore heroin addicts between 1972 and 1978. I did my graduate work at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Social Work. My experience with Employee Assistance Programs began in 1980 when, as an Assistant Professor of Social Work at James Madison University, I conducted research on mental health issues and substance abuse in the workplace. In 1983, after extensive research, training and consultation with EA pioneers Chuck Sapp, Jim Francek and Bill Jernberg, I designed and implemented the first Employee Assistance Program in Monmouth/Ocean Counties, New Jersey.

Since 1984, I have been an independent consultant working with Fortune 500 companies to support health and productivity through development of best in class health benefits and services. I was the Keynote Speaker at the International Employee Assistance Professionals Association (EAPA) convention in San Francisco. I am an active member of the IBM Mental Health Advisory Board.
