At the core of my community-based dispute resolution practice, I offer mediation, arbitration, restorative justice and other restorative practices, and consensus building.

I regularly handle dispute resolution involving school, community,  personal and court matters. After a thirty year career in federal natural resources and environmental law, my experience also embraces commercial disputes and includes extensive group facilitation and consensus building for private and public policy matters. My  dispute resolution training includes basic mediation and arbitration training and extensive specialized training in restorative justice and community conferencing with nationally recognized instructors.

I will be refreshing this web site with new material often. I hope you visit again and I welcome your questions and comments.
