His LinkedIn profile states the following: “25 Years in the network of private emotional growth/therapeutic residential schools and programs: 5 as Admissions Director for Rocky Mountain Academy and 20 as an Independent Educational Consultant helping parents find the best placement for their Special Needs child.
