Visitors new and old will find expanded information at Future Design Studio. I am constantly seeking ways to better serve those who want to create lives they love. My companion site, www.pittsburghcareercoach.com will focus on career issues and development while www.futuredesignstudio.com will focus on broader life issues. I’ve inserted a What is Zen? page to introduce you to a rich spiritual tradition that has liberated and brought fulfillment to its many dedicated practitioners throughout its 2500 year history.  On a second page, Encouraging Words, I offer my thoughts on this simple yet difficult practice from the perspective of a Zen chaplain and a 35 year old student of The Way. I encourage you to click on these pages and give me your feedback.
