On his web page, you will see that his services are on a sliding scale as a coach and a chaplain and this is part of his ministry to serve others, but he asks for a $40.00 deposit for the session in case you are a no-show. He really looks forward to getting to know you. Please be safe, and God bless you on this journey of discovery.
