My Credo

I am a craftsman.  I am dedicated to perfecting the art of communication, understanding, and nurturing to serve my clients in the best possible way. I have chosen my art carefully and gratefully.

I am constantly, relentlessly searching for ways to improve my craft. I am dedicated to learning from the masters who have preceded me in every way I am able.

I create valuable things that other people want or need.  I generously offer my work as a gift when it is wise, but my purpose is to help those who value my work enough to pay for what I have to offer.  No one has an unlimited claim on my craft, knowledge, or the fruits of my efforts.  I work for people who value and support me.

I honestly promote what I have to offer, consistently and to the limit of my capabilities. I make no apologies for promoting my craft. I am proud of my work, and it is my duty and responsibility to reach people who may benefit from my craft.  I can help them no other way.

I do my best to ensure that every single person who trusts me with their time, attention, or money is happy with their investment.  If they are not, I will do whatever is in my power to do right by them without delay.

Skills are a craftsman’s credentials. I care about a person’s character, not what they know, and what they can do, or what they believe.  It is not my job to change people, but to open the gates so they can change themselves.

I take good care of myself. My mind and my body are the tools I use to advance my craft, so I take good care of them. Rest and recovery are essential to my life.  This being said, I may not always be available on your time, but I will be available within a period of time that is reasonable.

I never stop pushing my limits.  I am constantly testing and experimenting with new ways to expand my capabilities. It is my way of life.

I promise to be the very best I can be, and to accept that if there are flaws, they are all mine. None of us are perfect.  Anything I can do to improve my craft, I will do. This will keep me busy until the end of my days. This is a challenge I gladly accept.
