About John

I am a Professional Career Counselor with over 35 years experience using career assessment in business and education. A member of the National Career Development Association, I have a Master's Degree in Counseling from Rivier College, and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study in Counseling with a concentration in Career Counseling from the University of New Hampshire. I've worked as a Career Counselor & Consultant with organizations such as AT&T, the University System of New Hampshire, and Northern Essex Community College, while also working independently with members of the community in my private practice.
I'm also a New Hampshire Justice of the Peace.

Recently, I made the decision to retire from my work life. As I began to think about what I wanted to do with my time I realized that, beyond just doing stuff that was relaxing and fulfilling for me, I also wanted to continue to make a difference in society. Of course, there are many ways to make a difference, and it occurred to me that over the course of my vocational counseling career I had done just that - made a meaningful difference in the lives of many of my clients. And, I always believed that that difference made a significant, positive impact on the world.

So, in addition to doing some other things, I've decided to continue making an impact on people's lives by offering the ACE Program on a limited basis to individuals who need help with their career choice. And, I've decide to do this at a reasonable rate. For those who can't afford the rate, I work with them to come up with a fee they can afford. I figure this is one way to keep me active, have some fun, open up the availability of good career counseling to more individuals, and continue to make a difference in people's lives. A win-win for all involved. It also keeps me busy and out of trouble! ;)
