Family Life

Judy is my spouse of 39 years. We have two grown children and two grandchildren. Judy has worked as a Family Intervention Specialist for a local non-profit, as a psychiatric nurse and as a psychotherapist. We enjoy walking, eating healthy food, music, and exploring our new community. We lived in Nubanusit - a cohousing community in Peterborough, NH from April, 2013 until December, 2014. We currently live in Durham, NC to be close to our daughter and family.

I enjoy storytelling, sharing folk music (guitar and autoharp) and work seriously at maintaining a sense of humor.

I am a member of the Society of Certified Senior Advisors.
