The progress and development of the individual, family, community and society through education—human, spiritual and material—has been my life’s work since age 16. Following my formal graduate work in education and service at the Bahá’í National Center in the 1990s, my focus on marriage and family life education and coaching began in the early 2000’s and has grown in exciting ways professionally, as a father and husband, plus in society from the realm of the neighborhood and region to the entire world. Educational activities through the Wilmette Institute and the Ruhi Institute have been the chief means and I am so pleased to participate in our humble, evolving efforts to strengthen the family, widely recognized as the most essential foundation for the well-being of any society.
