Don spent twenty-two years with his wife, Kathy, serving orphan children and HIV-AIDS families in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Towards the last few years in South Africa, close friends and family noticed he was struggling with something. No one was quite sure. So, with a return to the United States Don thought a change was all he needed.

Upon returning to the United States in 2006, he continued to experience numerous struggles. Finally, he sought help and was diagnosed with PTSD.

While Don is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, or mental health professional he does offer his journey in dealing with PTSD and managing it's daily affects.

Don is a PTSD survivor, and Kathy is a survivor of childhood sexual & emotional abuse. They are both survivors of trauma, but prefer to refer to themselves as THRIVERS not survivors!

Don's PTSD has taught him the value of living life rather than being driven through life! He life coaches helping others find their heart niche for living; helping them move from where the are to where they want to be! Please use the contact form, and Don will get back to you!

Don currently pastors in northern Minnesota in a medium size congregation, just a couple of hours from the Canadian border. Eh?

He enjoys wildlife & nature photography, his sons, grandkids, and coffee with Kathy

He and Kathy are available for limited speaking engagements on PTSD, Marriage, Family Life, Abuse Recovery, and other life topics.
