For over forty years, I have taught, trained, and written about how humans and animals learn. My approach is grounded in behavioural science, social cognitive learning theory, and an understanding of how attachment and environment shape behaviour across species.

Several years ago, I came close to dying. The experience did not provide answers in the way people often expect, but it clarified what could no longer be ignored. When I returned, I was held by a small circle of friends. That closeness reshaped my understanding of resilience, survival, and the human–animal bond. It made one truth unmistakable: connection is not optional. It is foundational.

I grew up close to land and animals, later studied human behaviour and family systems, and eventually found myself returning, again and again, to the same question: What allows a relationship to endure life's challenges? Whether between people, between species, or within ourselves.

This webiste is a place where I try to anser those questions.

Here, I write about people, animals, learning, friendship, resilience, spirituality, and the quiet intelligence that emerges when we stop trying to dominate what we do not fully understand. Some pieces are grounded in science, others in lived experience. All of them are written with the belief that connection is not a technique: friendship is a responsibility.

This understanding shapes everything I do.

Through writing, teaching, and hands-on work, I focus on creating conditions where learning and relationships can remain alive. I approach behaviour not as something to be corrected, but as communication shaped by history, context, and relationship.
