Bio
Since 1977 I've lived off-grid in a 200-year-old farmhouse on Galusha Hill in Vermont, looking east to the White Mountains. In this remote and peaceful setting, I've done the most important work of my life in living simply with my wife, Jacqueline Labate, and our eight children, who now are grown. As a young family we performed as the Galusha Hill Storytheatre, performing stories and music for both children and adults. I play a few simple songs on an alto flute, and my novels are available at Sundog Stories.
I began my undergraduate education at Cornell University and ended it at Goddard College where I majored in psychology and law. I hold a Master's degree in mental health law from Vermont College. I also completed the legal program at Woodbury College, where in 1980 I began teaching legal and counseling courses with an emphasis on experiential learning through Vermont internships.
Twenty years later when I started teaching at Community College of Vermont (CCV), I discovered its Center for Online Learning to be at the forefront of progressive adult education, so I’m excited about being a part of it. In 2012 CCV contracted with me to create a model Introduction to Psychology course using open educational resources and multimedia.
I've continued that work through Vermont Psychology, a multimedia e-journal by and about Vermonters.
