Personal Background

Glenn is a career changer himself. Before becoming a therapist and a coach, he completed a Ph.D. in natural resource economics. He worked to solve energy and environmental problems and to foster economic development in third-world countries. He has published articles and a book in economics (Common Property Economics, Cambridge University Press, 1991). He has lived and worked in Europe, Africa, and Asia.

While working as an economist, Glenn discovered more of himself through the More to Life personal growth program. He also began to hear from others of his gifts at working with people. Glenn decided to turn his career toward becoming a therapist and later a coach. Glenn wants people to be authentically, confidently, and serenely more of who they really are. He wants people to know their unique qualities and to apply them in joyful ways.
