Our Staff

From our new offices on Capitol Hill in Seattle (inside the Childhaven building), the staff is ready to work with you to enhance your knowledge of Personal Safety Nets®, and enable you to create your own personal plans for today and tomorrow.

Ben, our Managing Director, offsets too much time at the office by trying to stay in shape. He's out practicing yoga a few mornings a week, walking the halls when our hourly clock strikes, and walking rather quickly around Seattle's famous Greenlake after work. Ben’s passions include reading a new book a week and cooking - with people over to sample the goods and enjoy holidays and community. With a philosophy of "trying to enjoy each great day, one at a time," Ben starts and ends each day with a smile on his face.

Executive Director, Judy, keeps the team focused but maintains taking field trips to view the beach at low tide is essential. "We work better together" Judy says, "while partaking of the rich Puget Sound bounty around us." Her vision includes time to reflect on the hummingbirds in the garden.

John balances his office life with time spent hiking in the Pacific Northwest. He assists individuals, families and businesses to function at their highest level, irrespective of health and illness, through good times and rough times to develop harmonious, healthy, constructive relationships among relatives and business associates. Out of the office haunts include the trails around Snoqualmie Summit and Mt. Rainier. You can contact John directly at: LifeStrategiesByDesign.com
