"Hola! Don here. Teaching, tutoring, and inspiring change are major pieces of my life's mission.

I was greatly blessed to live in Mexico for two years as a missionary and have a great love for the people, their culture, and their language. So much so, that I've been serving as a Spanish medical interpreter for the past 30 years!

I graduated eons ago, in 1973, from the University of Washington, with a BA in Spanish and Business.

I later graduated, almost eons ago, in 1994 from City University of Seattle with an MBA in Managerial Leadership and Total Quality Management. I then was privileged to teach, as an adjunct professor, at City U for 12 years. My students were primarily adults who were coming back to school after work for a degree, so they could advance their careers. I taught a wide variety of subjects--College Algebra Statistics, Accounting, Spanish,, Critical Thinking, Business Writing and even Oceanography (and more). My most rewarding times there were when I saw the "lightbulbs" come on as students began to "get it" and realize their potential.

Since then, I've tutored high school and college students in Spanish, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Pre-Calculus. Beyond simply tutoring, I was blessed to be a facilitator of change and realizing potential.

As a certified speaker, coach, and trainer with both leadership guru John C. Maxwell and influence thought leader Robert Cialdini, and also a long-time Toastmaster, I can help you become a truly effective public speaker. As a Ray Edwards-certified sales copywriter, I can help you write words that will sell--your product, service, and ideas.

Please let me serve you in your lifelong learning journey.

Let's talk." less...
