About the Author
While attending college Dr. Cole worked as a camp counselor and then as summer camp director for the Easter Seals Society. He has also worked as the arts and crafts director and bus driver for a Boy's Club in a Hispanic area of Southern California. At Chico State College, Dr. Cole was active in the civil rights movements of the 1960's belonging to both the NAACP and CORE.While attending graduate school at Oregon State University, Dr. Cole wrote a small book about self disclosure, self acceptance and the dynamics of sharing personal feelings. Later, while working on a doctorate at the University of Northern Colorado, he published this book himself. Within three years The Facade had sold over twenty thousand copies and received an unsolicited review from the Guidepost, the newspaper of the American Personnel and Guidance Association (now called the American Counseling Association).Dr. Cole has taught elementary school and has been an elementary and junior high school counselor. For seventeen years he was with the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. There he worked as a counselor, the Director of Counseling, the Director of the Center for Health and Counseling, and held academic rank in education and psychology. In 1990 the Cole Family left Alaska and moved to Ellensburg, Washington. This move allowed more time for Dr. Coles writing and consulting on issues that he sees as vital to human survival. His two most recent books both have forewords by Nobel Peace Prize winners. Facing Our Future: from denial to environmental action, has a foreword by His Holiness The Dalai Lama and has endorsements from Friends of the Earth and other environmental groups. Filtering People: understanding and confronting our prejudices, has a foreword by Desmond Tutu, The Anglican Archbishop of Cape Town South Africa. Filtering People also has endorsements by a number of other major groups in the United States including the National Urban League, and the Anti-Defamation League of Bnai Brith.
