Member Spotlight 

Short Bio:  My name is Duane Ites and I began my interest in life coaching 3 years ago. I have since become a Certified Professional Life Coach (CPLC) through PCCI- Professional Christian Coaching Institute. I am an ACC credentialed coach through the ICF. My life coaching practice is "Ites Christian Coaching”. I have certification in marriage and relationship coaching and am a Certified SYMBIS-Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts, assessment facilitator. My wife and I partner to coach pre-marital and married couples. I am a part time worship leader at our church. I am married with 2 adult children. I enjoy bicycling, walking, and tennis. My first career was as a vocal music educator for 39 years to middle school, high school, and junior college students. My wife retired last month after 32 years teaching music education to middle and high school students. To fully thrive in retirement, my wife and I are on a journey of health and wellness and look forward to traveling together.
