Description of Experience : My foundation for this service is 30+ years in university admission, scholarship, and financial aid counseling, high school counseling, and independent consulting, including 19 years as director of admission at three universities. I am now privileged to merge my expertise with Counseling-4-College Founder John Happs. Together our decades of combined college counseling know-how serves students in the Front Range of Colorado.
I have been married 38 years and my wife Karen and I have walked through the entire college admission process with our two adult sons. They both discovered their best-fit colleges and have gone on to thrive in their families and careers.
