After pitching healthcare related story ideas to local writers for years, I have become a popular writer myself. Following is a list of my most popular articles on a phenomenon that is receiving growing awareness in all fields such as sports, politics, and many people's personal lives. The fact that image building is everything these days, and that a facade of public popularity can hide a very dysfunctional personal life, is being exposed daily.
We've seen it with Anthony Weiner, and it resurfaces all the time in a myriad of other public figures where the facade is deceiving. http://counsellingresource.com/features/2013/08/07/narcissism-anthony-weiner/

Many of my articles delve into situations where narcissism whether acquired through fame or just a dysfunctional upbringing causes havoc in the lives of many people associated with them, despite the good persona they portray to their gullible fans.
Luiz Palhares is an excellent teacher and more importantly, a good man.
Admittedly, I didn't know about him. Definitely has hella accolades. "What brings you to Jax?" I live in Jax. ;D
I really wish that Dana White (Ultimate Fighting Championship President) would bring an UFC event to Jax! I'm a huge fan of the UFC. I'll buy tickets quicker than you can say "It's Time!!!" :)
