Parent to 2 school-age boys with the most contrasting personalities two can have but still manage to get along (for the majority of the time!) and 1 baby girl who helps keep them in line.

Board certified behavior analyst since 2013

Certified Special Needs Life Quality coach (2025)

I’ve read A LOT of parenting books and materials as I had originally delved into the topic with intention and still to this day, in order to be the best damn parent I could possibly be. I am forged with renewed purpose to share what I have gained with the parenting community. The manner in which children are raised are parents’ greatest gift to shaping a better future for not only the child as an individual but for society as a whole. Shaping a future filled with kind, conscious, and compassionate humans is in the hands of those in the present. We as parents and the greater community should probably take the job of raising them seriously and sincerely! (sprinkling in a healthy dose of whimsy and fanatical fun)

Personable and generally laid back dude, but professionally don’t want to waste your time or money. I simply encourage those interested in alternative help within the system to quickly connect with me (1st call is free) and establish a fit between your needs and my experience.

  Full disclosure— I would consider myself fully Americanized, born and raised in the USA. But I feel that through all of my lived, schooled, personal and professional experiences- other cultures such as where my family is from- the Philippines- have valuable insights to impart and share with folks, particularly within the context of caregiving. With a mutual sharing and understanding of the diversity inherent in our communities we have much to gain in the collaboration- the “Kapwa” as we know it. It’s not an I/you/he/she approach, it is a “WE” mindset and thus collective undertaking that ultimately achieves the behavioral change we are seeking…your weakness might be my strength and vice versa. Instead of comparing and competing, let’s find a way to work together to make the magic of family harmony happen. It’s not going to be perfect, but it CAN get better.

  I hope we can get started together… We can do this! YOU CAN DO THIS!!

  I’ll be honored to be one of your guides through your personal journey during one of the most difficult moments within this universal experience we call life.
