This is essentially an unreferenced article that reads more like a resume. There's no real indication of notability. The only references given are to his home page and other Wikipedia articles.

 * Delete This appears to be a possible copyright violation since much of the text is from his bio at livingvalues.com. I don't see any significant claims of notability.  I also didn't find independent sources that support notability.  The closest thing I found was an interview in the Chicago Examiner (not a major paper, not sure how reliable it is) that his company originated. Astudent0 (talk) 12:47, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails notability criteria, lacks reliable sources, and appears to have been written by two SPAs. 131.118.229.18 (talk) 17:32, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - a worthy individual. However, he has had no particularly significant achievements and doesn't meet WP:BIO. Bridgeplayer (talk) 12:36, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as self-promotion and not meeting WP:GNG or WP:MILPEOPLE. Zero independent coverage. Page is a clear copyright violation, taken word for word from here. Given references are links to works (essentially one work) subject has written. BusterD (talk) 12:51, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
