I talk about our family life quite a lot, in fact it's really the only reason that I'm still on FB. Lately, the bulk of what I've been sharing are our adventures and the Baking Show that Greta and the family puts together; but... I want to circle back for those who follow me on FB. The work that I do, with Greta, is in Adventure-Based Parenting.

So for all the adventurous posts, pics of fun places, etc... the engine that drives this is working with families, with parents, one on one in a very personal and collaborative approach.

Rather than work for a wilderness therapy or adolescent treatment program, I've gone rogue and released this to the wide world. It's my life's work, and you have direct access to Greta and me in this.

See you there!
