In the course of my work, I’ve met thousands of singles in my seminars and workshops; I’ve held one-on-one coaching sessions with hundreds of individuals struggling with a range of dating issues; and I’ve personally introduced, through my Spin Dating TM, many couples who have gone on to stable long-term relationships and marriages. I know first-hand how difficult dating has become in the last few years, and I’m confident the lessons I’ve learned through my professional experiences will help inspire single men and women to greater success in dating as well as happier relationships.
