Dave is a physician-psychotherapist of 25 years experience, now doing a PhD in Wisdom Studies. He is deeply aware of the potential collapse of our civilization with the problems of global warming, especially of the emotional stresses that will ensue. Over the past 15 years, he has run a highly successful anger management program of his own design and now intends to bring these skills to a broader audience. His skill set WILL be needed.

He has a broad range of interests, initially intending a career in Physics and Mathematics. Later, after his medical training, he became a Specialist Anesthetist, running a Chronic Pain Clinic for a few years prior to switching to Psychotherapy. Other interests include a deep interest in Spirituality, Hatha Yoga and Cooking (he has considerable training in each of these areas and could present workshops in these areas if desired.)

Currently he operates a day retreat center with his wife where he runs weekend anger management workshops. Much of his work is described in his book Blowing Out the Darkness: The Management of Emotional Life Issues, Especially Anger and Rage.
