The Blue and Gold of Notre Dame and its legends of the Four Horseman conjure up awe-inspiring stories.  In spite of their on-going losses, John is a true fan and employs the phrase “there's always next year.”  “Not letting your losses take you down”, has been the message John has been spreading to adolescents and their families for over twenty-five years.    Family time is a gift and I treasure it.  Playing together, fishing, boating, hiking, and family events bring us together for fun, laughter, support, and encouragement.  The excitement of building new relationships with each new student and their family is a delight that keeps John dedicated to his work. 

Married to the love of his life for 25 years, John and Julia have three grown children and four grandchildren. 

With over 20 years in the medical field working with families and individuals, assisting with compliance issues, claims, and complaints, Julia emits a sense of calm infused with common sense.  

Julia brings guidance and nurturance to the boys' lives. 
As a former Family Service Coordinator, Hospice Volunteer, Certified Nursing Assistant, Home Health Aide, and Post Partum Doula, she has the gift of putting people at ease and provides parents with a solid connection to their son.
