About
me
Richard
Kessler - Mediator, Meteorologist, Mentor, Grandfather,
Gardener, Teacher, Learner
I have
worked for more than 30 years with many diverse groups of
adults and students. In every case I have worked to find
creative solutions to past, present and future issues.
I have a good deal of experience working within labor and
management circles; with educators and students, local,
state and federal government workers and administrators;
people in the medical, legal, scientific and religious
fields; and parents and family members.
When
not working, I enjoy family life, spending time with
friends, gardening, taking classes, meditation, walking,
traveling, music, the "arts', reflecting, writing and
dreaming. Whether it's winter, spring, summer or fall,
I love a good storm.
