My Story

 

Hello and welcome! I am a grateful husband, father, brother, university professor, friend to many, trusted colleague to many more, brain-tumor survivor, and a near death experiencer. As an experienced sexuality educator and intimacy researcher, I know that the importance of intimacy’s roles in healthy human development, relationship longevity, and sexual satisfaction cannot be overstated. I’ve discovered a great deal from my research on why people fear intimacy and how that fear negatively impacts their sense of self, their platonic and romantic relationships, the way they parent, and their overall sexual well-being. 

 

I am also a Sexologist with a PhD in Human Sexuality. I help others through my work as a University Professor, a Sex and Intimate Relationship Coach, and a Sexuality Textbook Author.  My professional passions are centered around enhancing people’s sexual wellness, accompanying them on their paths toward sexual fulfillment, and championing their human right to live a sex-positive life. I offer intimacy and relationship coaching, sexual wellness education, workshops, and consultation.​I have spent the past two decades providing inclusive, sex-positive, and trauma-informed sexuality education.

 

My academic publications include the textbook Sexuality Concepts for Social Workers, a chapter on older-adult intimacy in the award winning textbook Healthy Ageing and Aged Care, and international research articles examining the fear of intimacy, sexual anxiety, and subjective well-being.​
