As a seasoned high school science and health science technology teacher, author, chiropractor, and lifelong learner, I’ve worn many hats throughout my career. Here, you’ll find insights into my journey and the many lessons I've learned. I'm excited to share my adventures as I travel into a different realm of education as a Learning Success Coach and Educational Trainer as I continue to write thought-provoking and engaging books.

Her infectious enthusiasm bleeds into everything she does—and it is evident to all of her students that Doc views teaching not as a job but as a calling. It is incredibly admirable to watch her in her element, and it has been our biggest honor to call ourselves her students.
