[/vc_column_text][ultimate_heading main_heading=”My Private Life” main_heading_color=”#e20074″ sub_heading_color=”#e20074″ alignment=”left” main_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;” main_heading_font_size=”desktop:28px;” sub_heading_style=”font-weight:bold;”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text]I grew-up on welfare in central Pennsylvania and came from a family that had many of the problems associated with poverty. In college, the first in my family to go, I found that people felt safe and comfortable talking to me about their relationships and sexual histories. A biology professor told me that that was a gift and that I should pursue it. These experiences propelled me towards this career and, ultimately, to you arriving here. I bring all aspects of my history to create a better life for those whom I serve. I offer you this familiarity, compassion and understanding as you progress towards creating a better life.
During down-time, I enjoy the arts, weight training, yoga, singing, reading, cooking and exploring my Scottish roots (and sporting my kilts). I previously served as Vice President on the board of trustees for Unity in Greensboro, my spiritual home, and now I am part of their music ministry, preach several times a year and serve as worship assistant during Sunday services.
I genuinely look forward to serving you.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”145″ alignment=”right”][ult_buttons btn_title=”Ready for something wonderful to happen?” btn_link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fdrtommurray.com%2Fcontact-me%2F|||” btn_align=”ubtn-center” btn_size=”ubtn-large” btn_title_color=”#ffffff” btn_bg_color=”#e20074″ btn_bg_color_hover=”#ffffff” btn_title_color_hover=”#e20074″ icon_size=”32″ btn_icon_pos=”ubtn-sep-icon-at-left” btn_border_style=”solid” btn_color_border=”#5a5a5a” btn_color_border_hover=”#2b2b2b” btn_border_size=”1″ btn_radius=”3″ btn_shadow=”shd-bottom” btn_shadow_color=”#5a5a5a” btn_shadow_color_hover=”#2b2b2b” btn_shadow_size=”3″ btn_shadow_click=”enable” btn_font_size=”desktop:20px;” btn_font_family=”font_family:Ubuntu|font_call:Ubuntu”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
