He believes that there is a vital relationship between character strengths and virtues that lead to the “good life.” As an advocate of positive psychology and a believer in experiential learning, his vision is to help create a world where every individual and family has meaning in their lives. His goal at Ampelis is to help navigate individuals, families, and organizations in identifying, pursuing, and reinforcing that which provides meaning. Lon’s pursuit of meaning found in his marriage, family, and among the many friends that share this life, is what keeps Lon enthusiastically engaged every day!
